Shopping in Bangladesh

I haven't been shopping much here, but I have seen some interesting things mostly whilst walking in the neighbourhood.


 Like the local butcher's shop. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) you can't see the flies in this picture.


At this shop just along the way, the guy is fighting a losing battle trying to keep the flies off the chicken pieces with his switch.


Does he get points for trying?


 Chicken might be a more sanitary option. At least it can be killed and then eaten before the flies have opportunity to get to it!


These guys were delighted to be photographed by the white lady and I think they added an extra bunch of bananas into our bag because they were so happy about it.

 

 And between the banana guy and the meat guy was another fruit shop where my friend bought our apples and oranges. He also was very happy to be photographed.


 When we were out walking one afternoon we decided to buy icecreams to eat as we walked. They are available, but depending on how long it is since the power came back on they come in varying degrees of 'meltedness'!


And the shop owner doesn't use a cash register - its notepad and pen to record his sales.
