Searching For An-Najm ( The Star ): Bangladesh

Zaynah and Jahed ( who is my dads first cousin )

Hero

Green on a Honda. Jackie Shrof or what. There is another pic with me ont he same bike but i decided not to put it up. Why ? cause i look like a monster on it. Looks as if i'm ridding a kiddy bike.

The little kid on the tree is a local lad that went up to get some nice cocnuts for us.
Don't worry he is perfectly trained and if he did fall he would fall into our furki (bathing/water resovoir).
My uncle just paid his 10 tk ( 13p ) but i got green so go round the corner and sort him out with a little more.

Up Up and Away

Me and the Lungi

This was my fav passtime. Chulling out in my lungi with a nice cup of tea. Made me feel right at home.

If i had it my way i would have worn it all the time. But the family were dead agaisnt it in fear of unforseen circumstances that may suddenly occur.

Tea Plantations- Madab Khondo, Sylhet, Bangladesh

A tea plantation and not a monkey in sight

Jungles of Madab, Sylhet, Bangladesh

Well jungle might be stretching it a little more like a dense forresty sort of area

Rocks at Madab Khondo

Madab Khondo

This is the 'Famed' Madab Khondo. Its a small water fall surrounded lush jungle and wildlife.
Apparenlty its a protected site and to be honest it is kept spotless.
If your visiting Sylhet no doubt this would be on your list of things to do. Although not as impressive as something you may see in the tropics or maybe in the south of Bangladesh its still a nice day out especially since the water is so refreshing.
Me, Boz and Green swam upto the falls and back and they say that just beneth the falls is a forty foot drop. Its true that the water does get deep suddely and in the corner we were standing ontop of a tree but somehow i dont believe the hype.
If you are going take a dip you will love it.
