In Bangladesh the waste bin - evil invention - has not been recognised yet, they try to reuse as much as they manage, send back to the cycle. Perhaps some of them do not even realise how impossible this seem to be in the 'modern' west.
Also my stomach has already improved and getting fully adapted to the local goodies. I still do not dare to drink tapped water but I am sure that I would not have a problem with it soon, just am giving it a time.
Food here is very tasty and even cheaper than that. Yesterday me and my new friend went to eat in kind of local fast-food, if I can call it like that only because people here usually eat a bit faster than elsewhere and it is cheaper. So for two people, two big portions of rice each, two bowls of vegetable stew each, a chilli omelet each and some other extras + water I paid 110 Taka, which is about 1 EUR/GBP. And we ended up very full. I went to restaurant too, we almost could not walk away because of full bellies - bill for both of us including 50 Dhaka tip - 400 Taka.
Everything here is very cheap, once I stayed in a hotel, little room, my own bathroom plus standards like TV and mosquito net, huge cockroach always priceless, and sometimes it is hard imagine room without a big fan above yourself - 200 Taka. Now I am staying with a family for 300 Dhaka/night, where I feel much more home than in the hotel. CouchSurfing is possible but very limited, as there is not many people registered and hard to find a host.
Today me and my new Bangla friend have rented a bicycles and rode around the local tea gardens, jungles, pineapple plantages, always being warmly greeted by local people, who many times do not close their mouths of all that amazement when they see me. Wow and all these fresh tropical fruits - most I have tried before, but it is nothing like this, fully ripen mangos, pineapples, bananas, coconuts, lime, I wish I could bring you a little bit of that great taste, or I rather say, you have to come and try... So yes, we rode our cycles in this area called Lawachara National Park, with many beautiful sights and villagers. We have also visited local school where I attempted to give a lesson from arithmetics, I do not think I could be a good teacher, rather a good clown to amuse kids?)
Swimming in the lake full of water-lilies... Drinking a five-color tea was another step in exploring the ways of this favorite activity of mine, milky tea here is very popular, while instead of fresh milk they put thickened and sweetened milk concentrate(I forgot an English abbreviation), very sweet but also tasty cha, as they call it here. Making a lemonade in the middle of lemon garden, have you got any sugar and a pinch of salt? You should definitely go for it.
Returning almost complete bicycles made us lucky enough because my friend gives a private lessons to the owner's kids and so he closed both of his eyes, though I have to say we have not done anything apart from gentle and smooth ride-around;))
