Dhaka, Bangladesh, a regular journey of unique beauty


Just regular shots around Dhaka ... how many Westerners visit Bangladesh -- the rickshaw capital of the world - each rickshaw decorated differently?

Every time I am there, on my way to or from Nepal, I just stay in the airport. But this time the jet was delayed for inspection and repairs.

Accompanied by two elderly Austrian gentlemen we decided to go exploring. We took off in a taxi, traveling randomly northwest. Bangladesh has some places that are heavenly beautiful, how would one know?

This is a collection of what we saw as we went. From the airport, through heavily traveled roads, from brink plants in the Turag River to a picnic ground, and a celebration location for locals; A hardworking people, with order, gardens, flowering plants everywhere, mixed with poverty, dirt roads, one of a kind pleasure boats, growing into a modern future, with a view to their past.
