Smiles of Dhaka, Bangladesh - Road Junkie Snippets 16 [01:35]
A vast majority (98 percent) of the people of Bangladesh are Bengalis and they speak the Bengali language. Minorities include Biharis numbering 250000 and other tribes numbering about a million, with the Chakma being most numerous in number. About 83 percent of Bangladeshis are profess Islam as their religion. The next major religion is Hinduism (16 precent). Other major religions include Buddhism and Christianity.

Bangla has a rich cultural heritage in literature, music, and poetry, and at least two Bengali poets are well known in the West: Rabindranath Tagore, a Hindu and a Nobel laureate; and Kazi Nazrul Islam, a Muslim known as the "voice of Bengali nationalism and independence."

Buriganga River Cruise in Dhaka, Bangladesh - Road Junkie Snippets [02:42]

A trip to Dhaka is simply NOT complete without a visit to this special area where old meets new, massive competes with inferior & a theater of life & death is played out right before your eyes. You´ll be absolutely blown away by the coordinated circus of events that takes place in front of your eyes as you notice tiny vessels likely in use for decades (possibly even centuries) sharing the same waters with enormous monstrosities that literally plow over ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that might possibly get in the way. The locals are wonderfully cheerful as they wave to you while you gulp, sit back and try to take it all in from a small rowboat with a humble man paddling by your side.
