Ashulia revisited… sort of

March 8th, 2009 | Categories: Ashulia | Tags: , , ,

Have been travelling down this road to Ashulia and Savar for the past few weeks now, and every time I wished I had a camera with me.  Today I did, but could not get the images I wanted.

Here are a few “snapshots” from today taken from a moving car. Would have liked to have kept stopping and get more images but I was not driving and we were short on time anyway…

    Curious- what is done w/ the broken bricks?

    Bangladesh has almost no rock, so the bricks are broken up into clinker for use as construction ballast – road-building and even for buildings! Wonder sometimes why they don’t set-up a clinker-factory…. guess manual labor is cheaper!
