-New Market and Jhahor Bazar for saris and garment rejects; many Tshirts purchased
-a stop at the British-built courthouse, nicest building we've seen
-Kalam, our awesome driver, sweet-talked our way into the ship-breaking yards where we saw beached ocean-liners being blown apart and stripped down into every isolated part: floor boards, bells, sofas, kitchen sinks, rope, toilets, etc. These yards got some serious bad press several years ago, and generally they haven't been letting foreigners in to see. go Kalam!
we took stealthy pictures from the hip even though we weren't supposed to. i was used as a distraction by my housemates: i'll post some of their pics too!
-a stop at Foy's Lake, Chittagong's favorite amusement park, where we took a paddle boat ride. not a bad place, but a really weird place
-dinner at an awesome Indian restaurant - what a find! where the guys ordered 'dosas' (fried flat bread stuffed with some delicious curried something) that were 1 meter in diameter. we got lucky with this pick - clean food is tough to find
-i feel i haven't seen many women this whole trip...
