Zander at the Beach with Moroccan family in the background. 

Donkey carts are still a common sight. Interesting fact...more people die worldwide from donkeys than plane crashes! 

Local kids wanted a picture with Zander. 

Not sure what these guy do. They offer you brass cups of water around the Bazaar (for money). I'll call them the water men. 

Zander, me and the water men.

Sorry for the fuzzy pic! 

I have just returned from Dhaka, Bangladesh. My friend on my shoulder name is Zander. She was a gift from a special friend and has become my mascot. I will be taking Zander around and taking pictures with her where ever I travel (more fun and interesting than pics of myself :)).
Bangladesh is a very poor country and some of the sights and smells there are hard to explain. Almost every street corner you have people begging for money - most are severely deformed or injured in some way. The smell of raw sewage and poor hygiene fills the air. Some of our crew members have vomited the first time they stayed here just from the smell. Sometimes we don't realize how lucky we are until we visit a place like this.
I am off tonight to Tripoli and Casablanca returning on Friday morning.

Little one has sleep while parents shop Bongo Bazaar in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

 

Every time you stop people come begging for money.
