Great set of images, documentary stuff.
As I see from your posts, Dhaka is a dream destination for true travelers. I am a fan of Kolkata but it seems I should pay attention to East Bengal, too.
Didn't know there is an Armenian church in Dhaka but I know Armenians were present in India, including Bengalia, and some thrived as merchants.
Cheers @x-rain , much appreciate that
Yes Kolkata is a wonderful city , in fact I love the sub-continent full stop! I was surprised to learn of the Armenian community, I went to te country with a complete blank knowledge, I learned so much
in fact I love the sub-continent full stop!
Same here. And travelers of the best quality are present there. I hope to visit this country in 2025 (although I feel I should stay forever in Songkhla 😀). Bangladesh? I never seriously researched it. But your posts have intrigued me. I thought Dhaka could be just a huge ghetto 😄 I mean Kolkata was the capital of British India until 1911, so no surprise Kolkata looks cool. Interesting how expensive it is there (probably, cheap), and whether it's possible to go from Dhaka to Kolkata by bus (probably, yes)...
I am sure it is possible to travel between the two cities, by road or a mix of road rail and water. Dhaka did not have any resemblance to a british colonial city, there were a few bits about but hardly noticeable.
