The Countryside to Tangail

Tangail- The Jungle Countryside

Leaving Dhaka, we headed through some back roads on the outskirts of Dhaka through the highway to some back roads in the country.  We stopped at a beautiful pottery village (which was by no means tourist oriented) as no one tried to sell us anything at all.  Instead we were followed around by a group of kids and with gazing looks from villagers trying to figure out why we had arrived there.  Getting to the village required a bit of walking plus a small river boat with a boat man taking us across the swirling river.

We then went to a brass making making store that has been using the same techniques for thousands of years with molding wax into a figure, then placing clay around it, then pouring the hot metal in it and finally breaking it to get the wanted desired figure.

Next was a highlight as we spent hours driving through a little traveled road in the countryside to see how the people lived and worked.  As we went along we got stares and inquisitive looks the whole way as it is a fair assumption that most people had never seen a foreigner up close before.

As we finally got to our accommodation which is an old villa style hotel in the middle of a small village in a jungle.  We got to walk around to check out how the local people lived and how they spend months on old machines weaving different garments with no electricity….
