Burmese refugees have settled here on this Bangladesh side of the border. On the way to Teknaf, we passed a few refugee camps. This is not a camp, this is a village. the camps look like refugee camps -hundreds of huts all clustered together w/ UNHCR tarpsJul 25, 2006

this is one of the most amazing places i've ever been to. beautiful and interesting and fun. cliffs surrounding the valley we were in on one side, and the valley flowing into the oceanJul 25, 2006

we took this narrow little village road that people who visit Teknaf don't know about. the road ends after a while, & even our 4-wheeler couldn't make it past it all the way to the ocean. so we parked the car & walkedJul 25, 2006
