Dhaka, Day 2
July 20th, 2004 by MrLuxuryFashionGuruIn a way this is kind of like summer school, except with satellite tv (a real productivity-sapper).

I miss South Africa, which is surprising, since I don’t miss places, as a rule. I keep looking around the streets of Dhaka expecting to see Africans but of course everyone is Indian.

Bangladesh is a fascinating place, though. For one thing, it’s a Muslim country, more thoroughly so, yet somehow less overtly so than Malaysia, Indonesia or Brunei. It’s also worth noting that (at least as reflected in the popular press) the interest in gender equality and human rights in places like Dhaka and Durban seems to outstrip even basic awareness of such issues in Singapore and even the States, which goes a ways towards refuting the idea that human rights are a “Western” cultural imposition that people from other cultures tend to resist and oppose.
It seems to have stopped raining, which is nice.
