Bangladesh 12 July 2011

On our minibus on the way from the airport to The Dhaka Club.  This is a typical  Dhaka public bus.  The traffic is so bad that they all look battered like this one.

Kate, Sarah and Linda on our minibus.

Natural gas vehicles like this one are everywhere.  They would probably seat 2 Aussies in the back as passengers, but we have at times seen them with 6 people plus driver.  Older style petrol powered 'baby taxis' are not permitted in the city.
Welcoming reception. Dhaka University Master of Educational Psychology and Master of Counselling students.  The lady sitting in the foreground is one of the teaching staff (Shaheem).
Ifana who visited us in Australia.  Masters of Educational Psychology graduate.


We were presented with a carnation and string of flowers each.  The string of flowers were very fragrant and were tied around our wrist.  They are often used to decorate brides.

I have some gaps to fill with photos from the rest of the team over here so will add more later.
