Bangladesh is beautiful and contradictory. Mostly flat land and rice fields surrounded by palm trees and thousands of lakes here and there changes into high mountains (Hilltracts Rangamati, Bandarbans) in the eastern part of the country. One can find beautiful green teagardens from the north east (Sylhet, Srimongol) and quiet seabeach with romantic islands (Cox's Bazar) from south east. There is dzungle (mangrove forest Sundarbans) in the south west and countless amount of rivers all over the country. There are ancient Hindu temples next to Mosques, in addition lots of Buddist architecture in the Hills. There are Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Buddists living here peacefully. I like that so many differences exists friendly next to each other. Which is another contradiction itself considering the general political situation of the country... By the way, I have put quite some pictures on the web - click here - or any of the pictures on the blog and you'll find others easily.
