Sleeping cats

So I realize that cats aren't, strictly speaking, a unique experience of living in Dhaka. But these are Dhaka cats and have certainly colored our experience since adopting them. 

Maybe it's a Bangladeshi feline thing or maybe we just got 'special' cats, but these guys have the most uncatlike poses when they sleep. 

Here are some interesting poses we've found them in over the past few months. (It's nice having cats!)

Colors of Bangladesh

One of the things I love most about Bangladesh is how colorful everything is. Even the poorest of houses will not go without many layers of beautiful colors on their humble homes. People seem to take pride in keeping everything colorful. Women in particular are responsible for adding to the color through their clothing; the saris and other clothing they wear are never bland or drab. More often than not they are shockingly bright or in strange/interesting combinations of colors and patterns. It makes for a very colorful countryside!

Below are some pictures I've taken from 'the field' over the past few months.
