I traveled to Dhaka, Bangladesh in February 2005 (hard to believe it's been that long!) for a month. I was sent via Christian Veterinary Missions with a senior vet student at the time, Holly.
Like a LOT of countries, Bangladesh has some British influence. One thing that seems to stick from our friends across the pond is a love of tea. And tea time.
We were out working this day - on our way to another farm in fact - when Lawrence (the livestock officer in charge of us) said it was time for tea! I remember thinking "aren't we supposed to be working? Aren't people waiting for us?" I figured out they could just wait. :)
This was basically a roadside vendor who made us a wonderfully rich, sweet, hot cup of milk, sugar, and tea.
It was SO good! You can't tell from the picture, but he was heating it up in a small condensed milk can.
And this is one of my favorite pictures from the entire trip.
