Perhaps more than any other, Bangladesh is a riverine country.

The tea gardens of Sylhet, Bangladesh are so serene and quiet and perfectly complimented by the bicycle. In Ontario: this man would be considered to be engaging in a provocative activity.

I love this 5-storey apartment in Sylhet, Bangladesh. The curved balconies are a nice touch. Wish we saw this level of variation in Ontario.

One thing that is really missing in North America is a roof-top culture. Here in Sylhet, Bangladesh—as in many places around the world—there is a whole ecosystem of life and activity that takes place above the street.

I’ve always enjoyed reading a history book of a country while spending time there. Makes for such pleasant afternoons. I’m currently reading the “Land of Two Rivers” by Nitish Sengupta in Bangladesh.
