I was about to take that seat to stretch my legs
But it's taken by this uncle.
Just got myself an ice cream early in the morning
They don't have change to give
ticket
It is vrey simple. A piece of printed out A4 paper
then they just cut it
Many students here
I was about to say the ticket price
is cheaper than in India
bcoz in India foreigners pay 10 times more expensive
Here foreigners also pay more
There are not many tourist attractions in Bangladesh
so 100 taka for foreigners is OK
Another group of students
Panam city is famous for those old buildings
They used to be merchants house
during Mogul emperor and British Colony times
Similar to havelis in India
But they seems not as well preserved as Haveli
I mean they look abandoned
But there are fewer tourists here
which gives it a very authentic taste
so let's walk around to see
There is a guy on the balcony
Let's follow this guy to see the inside
they approved
very authentic
with no other add-ons
a balcony on the 2nd floor
It's very cooling inside the house
Wind comes from the arch design
Very steep stairs
The roof-top balcony on the 3rd floor
I feel many Nepali and Indian houses
have these roof top design too. They look it.
for open air
Bangladesh's tourism is not as developed as India's
An old house like this in India
might be transformed into a boutique hotel
with an open air restaurant on the roof top
All they will just change the entire Panma city
into a tourist spot
Thus the surrounding hospitality industry will be boosted
But here, I don't see any tourist
I'm the only foreign tourist in Panam city
The merchants used to live in a very green area
But people already blocked the house gate
Look this, with brick
very solid and still
no maintenance at all
seems a bit
rusty
This building done.
Wow so many women
His sun glass is really funny
What a fashion !
I was joking with him that he is the SRK of Bangladesh
he seems excited
What's this for breakfast ?
seems like breakfast
i saw fried fish
I wanna have one first
Panam city is like a small town
The old ruins we just visited are
UNESCO heritage sites
Oh They are all watching me video-recording
Not it's 11am i guess it's still breakfast ?
Back to the bus station
Wow this intersection is very chaotic !
look at this road side construction
it is still going on
and here
on the other side of the road
hundreds of CNGs (tuk tuk)
I need to cross the road
find a bus back to Dhaka city
off the road sides are fruit sellers
and on-going constructions
I can't recognize this fruit
very soft
walking to the bridge
it is MESSY hehe ..
I found my bus
Bangladeshi people are all very chilled and friendly
If you wanna come to Panam city by bus
It's only a 2 hrs trip from Dhaka including bus rides
I was looking for a rickshaw
but there is no available ones
so i hitchhiked
