Another world away from the peace of our oasis of homelife in Bangladesh. Back in the real tough world again looking out for ourselves; shoulder barging, pushy sales people, excessive horn usage, dodging suicidal traffic ... again. Achually quite lovely to have that veil of complete confusion lift and feel familar in a city. I love how real Cal is, the people living and washing and cleaning their teeth on the streets, the food amazing and cheap as I remember and we even see a few friendly faces. Goodbye for now Cal, we are on the road again ...
