The Best Roti In Bangladesh

 Last week, while in Bangladesh, my friends and I went on a 16-hour road trip. It was quite a tiring trip on a dusty dirt road but the meal stops were great treats.

For breakfast, we stopped by this food shop where they make different kinds of roti.

We all had "tundol" and dal chicken. Ahh, the freshness of bread from the stone oven!
Roti is a South Asian bread made from stoneground wholemeal flour. In Central Asia it is called "nan" or "nang". This particular roti we had is locally called "tundol".

We couldn't leave the country without having another round of "tundol" so we went to this shop where we watched how it was done. See the roti  stuck against the wall of this special oven?

Let's Fly from Bangkok to Dhaka

 Welcome to Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok. It's one of the biggest airport in the world. what you see in the photo is just one part which I took on my way to the waiting area.

 Let's fly Thai Airways. It's the official carrier of the kingdom of Thailand. It's should be the best!

 The waiting lounge is clean and spacious. You wouldn't mind coming early for the flight and wait a little while because it has free wifi computers and tv to entertain you while you wait.

With spacious leg room and personal entertainment, time on the air flies fast!

I suggest you order lamb set meal! That would be the best part of the flight.

Thai Airways flight attendants do their job with a smile.

   Take your tea or coffee while filling up your arrival form. Before you finish the form, you're almost there!

 Ahh, love that window view of water, land, and structures! 

 This is Dhaka's new town, Uttara. Bangladesh is the 7th highest population in the world with 153 million people.
 Each person has his own dream. With 153 million people, no wonder why Bangladesh is a nation full of dreams.
