Once Upon a Time at Bangladesh Part 2

Today is my first day in Bangladesh and I hopefully that is my miracle day!

My first time travel was lack of knowledge. I came to here, Bangladesh a sudden so I never look for any information for this country but I learn day by day from my trip.

Rickshaw as Bangladeshi Style

I went out with my friend (after him back from work) we took rickshaw to old city. I think you will see Rickshaw almost every countries from Asia especially from South and South-East Asia. Thailand also has Rickshaw and we called “Sam Lor” its mean tricycle. We used Sam Lor at the past but now a day we can’t easy to find its. Right now we use “Took Took” or someone called “tuk tuk” it is Auto Rickshaw (I will post about Rickshaw in Thailand after) ok! In Bangladesh has a wonderful rickshaw, why so? Because those rickshaws they decorated so nice and test of Bangladesh style (I think so) I love to look at those rickshaw. If I can draw picture well I will draw it in my book but sad I can’t do it. 

All About Lalbagh Fort

First thing when you look inside the Fort

We pass so many places until we reached old Dhaka and we visited Kella Lalbagh or Lalbagh Fort or Fort Aurangabad (many names hah) the was long considered to be a combination of three buildings are the mosque, the tomb of Bibi Pari and the Diwan-i-Aam, comprising two gateways and a portion of the partly damaged fortification wall. (don't wanna tell much can read in this Lalbagh Fort )

DhakeshwariTemple

After Lalbagh Fort, we were walking around the old Dhaka and I saw temple. It is Hindu temple. I don’t know the name but I visited there because the weather so hot I think about 40 degree then just rest and let meet can breaths. (I knew the temple name right now, Dec 28, 2011) this temple name's DhakeshwariTemple

We had to take off our shoes and barefoot. OH! HOT! But ok! This is life sometime cool sometime hot. After that we walk out and I just noted it that front of the temple, wall, have many cloths hung! Wow if in Thailand we will never do like this because Thai people believe that temple is holy then if someone dose like that will go to hell (Buddhist) and also Thai people respect in so many things , human, things, then will not do like that. But I understood that all country has their own culture and like this is normal for them. (for me was good to learn more about people and culture from other countries)
