He's a Rocketman

The picture is of a bus that seemed to be stuck on the side of the cliff. I think it had been there for a while. The drop was probably 1500feet.

This blog was written yesterday but not posted until now because of the load shedding in Dhaka. Well it's now been 2 nights in Dhaka and that's enough for now. I heading out on a boat called the Rocket. River travel is very popular here with 6.5% of the total area of Bangladesh being waterways. Find the place to book a ticket was an adventure in itself because not many people speak english, especially the people operating the bicycle rickshaws. In India the best way and most dangerous way to get around was taking a tuk tuk, they didn't have them in Nepal but they have them here except they are called baby taxis. They are also powered by Natural Gas since the government has banned petrol vehicle is certain areas. They have also banned plastic bags(I'd love to see Canada do this) unless it's for something that would be hard to carry.

The New Years Festival was massive, they close all the main streets and it's just a big party. I wonder if New Years in Canada would get that big if it weren't -10 outside. I've had some interesting food today, for breakfast I just walked into a place called Cafe Jheel and the man said something to me in Bengali-I heard naan beard so I just said yes. The food came in like 5 minutes which was a change from Nepal, it turned out to be naan beard, curried potatoes and some vegetables. Well I ate the whole bowl of curried potatoes and it actually wasn't too bad. I would choose to eat it again though. In Nepal that food took anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to get to your table, depending on what type of restaurant and how expensive it was. Adam and I always went to a place called My Favorite Restaurant, the service was okay the first couple times. We probably went there 7 or 8 times and each time the food was different even though you ordered the same thing. Eventually we started to wait on ourselves and take the liberty of writing down the order. The best time was the last time when I got a cheeseburger and what came out was a burger but the cheese was on the inside. I still have no idea what the burger was made from but it was really good. Also during this time Adam got a cheese tomato pizza that was just cheese, there wasn't any crust. The tomatoes were also cherry tomatoes that weren't sliced but just placed on top and they were still green.
