Dhaka, Bangladesh

I am in Dhaka, Bangladesh now, it is my first visit. Have not got much time for any visiting, but seen quite a few interesting situation here. First, you can find all sorts of mode of transport on the main road. Big trucks, small lorries, torn out private car, trishaw, the tuk-tuk taxi...you named it , they got it here. Secondly, there is hardly any traffic lights on the road because basically the drivers just squeeze in anywhere they can and hence the non stop horning sounds on the road from the crack of dawn till night. This morning, we were taking a so called private taxi from the hotel to the customer place. The car is so torn out that we thought at any time the door or any parts of the car could just fall off. The funny thing is half way through the trip it started to rain, and the car window next to where my colleague sit can not be wind up. Eventually, the driver have to get down half way and manually pull the window up using the hand. I guess bangladesh will be an interesting place for backpacking, to discover the culture here and experience the people's living. If I have a camera with me, I will be taking a lot of photos on the people, they are so full of the local characteristic that is so much different from the people in the big cities. I do miss the civilization of the big city, but I guess for a 3 days trip in Dhaka, the warmness of the local people could help me sustain through it :)
