Bangladesh is a colourful place with lots to look at when the monsoon rains aren't rearing their ugly heads. I won't say that Dhaka is a beautiful city but there sure is beauty to be found there, as well as the quirky, and downright dangerous.

Beautiful sari'd ladies in the street this morning.
The buses, people ride on top of these too!
An amusement park close to the school. Don't worry, Mom, I have no intention of testing out those rides.
