Bangla Chronicles - Day 2
There's lots to talk about on day 2, but for now here's a map of what we have planed for our field trip to the northwest region of Bangladesh. See google maps link below.

We leave on Sunday (it's the start of the week here) and come back on Friday spending two days in Bogra and Rangpur and a day in a place not identifiable on the map called Kurigram (Chars region). Chars refers to the river islands that a river makes along its path and Kurigram is a place close to the river Brahmaputra (or Jamuna in the local tongue).
Bogra is known for its rapid industrialization of agricultural products including diesel engines. This is where we hope to meet with retailers and manufacturers. Rangpur also has a similar industry but here we hope to meet more of the farmers and the same is the case for Kurigram.
More detail stories on why these being the choice for our first field trip and more interesting tales from Dhaka to follow.
Allah Hafiz.
