Sunset in Chittagong

Our building has a lovely rooftop patio. It's our main outdoor play area right now. We were up there the other night around sunset and managed to take a couple of pics. The kids all got involved in a rather messy game of playing in a dusty puddle.

Sounds on the street are less abrasive way up on the rooftop (5 floors). The city is usually softened in a haze of dusty smog and seems almost friendly. It's easy to observe the goings on around us with this birds eye view. We watch cows moseying down the side streets nibbling on grass and garbage. Our eyes are drawn to other rooftops with brightly colored laundry waving in the breeze. Sometimes the breeze shifts, a sewer tinged smell permeates the air, and I'm suddenly reminded that I'm actually here and not just imagining this.

I'm lovin' the descriptions you write. I'm glad you found a refuge of sorts from the noise, but I'm sorry you weren't quite able to escape the smells!

Surprised to see the t-shirt "Save the Catba Langur" Dr.Bryce wear!

Long time to visit your family's blog, hard to forget the time your family were with us at CatBa
