River Dance

They say its not what you know but who you know. This is definitely true of Bangladesh. My flatmates and I just happen to know “Uncle Ritch” who partly owns a few river boats in Dhaka. On the weekend we were fortunate enough to cruise the Balu River which was a great way to escape the hussle and bussle and honks of Dhaka. Along the way we met several boats carrying elated Bangladeshi males who were also enjoying the river with friends and family. They would sing, dance, wave hello and do flips in the water. We even managed to spot some Bangladeshi females!
