Abbu & Ammu on the verandah of the BRAC building - we all hung out on this verandah and enjoyed the amazing viewJul 25, 2006

the BRAC building in Teknaf, right on the seashore. we stopped off and ate lunch, it was almost impossible to get to (which made it all the more special since no one gets to see this amazing hidden away place), good thing we had 4-wheel drive.Jul 25, 2006

kids wearing the conical farmer hats in the rain. Chuck bought one & is wearing it in the Bandarban photos. the farmer hat styles vary across the regions of bangladesh. we're thinking of doing a coffee table book on it ;)Jul 25, 2006

Chuck became obsessed w/ these farmer hats, which are used only in this region. they're v versatile - protects u from sun & rain. in the rain, the farmers usually pull up their lungis into shorts, so they can dry themselves off easily after.Jul 25, 2006

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
