Storm cloud over Ft Collins
Children in a fishing village
First morning that we set out in the Sundarban we had toload up on fish and ammunition. We got a skiff from our boat and motored up a channel. We stopped at this village. The adults and children greeted us warmly and we began to realize this would be the case every where.
This is a very primitive village. The little electricity that they have comes from a small generator. The village is located at sea level, as is most of the country. Even though we are some hundred miles from the sea the tides bring the water level to just a few feet below the village. We all wondered what it was like here, for these children when a typhoon hits and the level of the ocean raises dramatically.
The Sundarban is a tidal swamp. The worlds largest Mangrove forest. Essentially a vast river delta, as is most of Bangladesh.
Convenience Store
We crossed the Ganges on our way to the Sundarban
on a gigantic ferry loaded with dozens of heavy duty
cargo trucks. We were on a first class bus from
Dhaka. We got out of the bus and squeezed down the
canyons between these vehicles, went up the thin stairs
to the observation deck where we had tea and could
purchased additional supplies.
Night traffic
Gulshan, a Dhaka, BD suburb, 'normal' traffic is so
congested that we rarely drive faster than 25mph.
That is why and it is because of, the types of transportation
that are the norm in this city. Additionally, because of
the speed of traffic, accidents are few and usually
not injurious to the drivers.
