Sara - who spent three months in Dhaka working on corruption issues for BRAC University's Institute of Governance - and I hired a rowboat, and a gregarious guide, for a tour of the river. We spent a couple of hours seeing the life that happens along the Buriganga on a Friday after prayers. Lots of boys taking advantage of the cold (albeit dirty) water as a break from the heat, a young couple seeking privacy by way of umbrella and distance from the shore, and young men chipping paint off the side of a ferry were among some of our sights. More photos to come from this river ride...my Internet connection is abysmally slow today, and my computer turns off every time the electricity goes out here (three times this afternoon alone)!
