Bangladesh, 2012

I was sitting at my desk thinking about what to write about this, but realized, there is nothing I can say about a pink burka that the pink burka does not already say, and better than me. I will say that it was about 110 degrees F. that day, and I felt like I was dressed too warmly with just a t-shirt and shorts.

Panam Nagar is a short drive from Dhaka, the current capital of Bangladesh. It was established in the late 13th century and was a trading and political hub as the capital of Bengal in the 15th century. Today the elaborate buildings sit, mostly abandoned, slowly deteriorating. I suppose location really is everything when it comes to real estate. These places would command a very large purchase price, and substantial financial commitment to renovation if they were sitting in Savannah.
