Fong > Some people have computers in Bangladesh. There was an active trade in older Pentium machines when I was there. However, I had not seen for years so many manual typewriters in one place as I did in Rangpur....I learnt to type on a manual typewriter, so this scene brings back many childhood memories.
Fong > Tajhat Rajbari ('Tajhat Palace', in Rangpur). A grand old mansion, somewhat run-down and no longer used by anyone. It was used a few years ago as a district court. This picture was taken on a cold winter morning. At the time I visited, there did not seem to be any official entry to the inside of the building, but the caretaker on the day gave some companions and myself a quick no-commentary 'round the building' tour. I suppose this kind of building inspection is more meaningful if you are glancingly familiar with the layout of other mansions and palaces. On sunnier days, the surrounding grounds are a popular picnic spot. The surrounding grounds are free for public use.
Fong > Rangpur station. In Bangladesh, the dry season is also the cold season and extends over December and January. Some people in Bangladesh are both landless and homeless. They can often be found at railway stations.
Fong > Foreigners, tourists and bulky SLR cameras were still a strange sight in north-west Bangladesh. People naturally line-up for any photographs.
