I recently decided to check out the rooftop of our new building here in Dhaka and discovered that we have quite a nice view! On a different, but somewhat similar note, I've discovered that Bangladeshis seem to love their rooftops. They go up there to dry their clothes, to sit and read a book, to watch the sun set or just to sit and ponder life. In the early hours of the day and around sunset you can find people sitting or standing (perilously at times) on their rooftops, overlooking the city. I've seen this in various parts of the city and this seems to just be a custom. While I may not be as thrill-seeking or daring as some of them seem to be, I certainly can appreciate the beauty of a sunset or sunrise and think the Bangladeshis might have something here. Seems like a pretty nice way to pass the time to me!
Here are a few pictures of our rooftop:
