Bangladesh beyond Dhaka

Alright people, you can find pictures of the capital city of Dhaka in a separate thread- as you know it is one of the largest cities in the world. However, what most people don't know is the fact that there is a lot more to Bangladesh than just Dhaka Bangladesh is divided into 64 districts and 6 divisions (sort of like provinces), the divisional headquarters are the cities of Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Barisal, Sylhet & Rajshahi. Also note that almost all the pictures I shall post here were originally posted in the Bangladesh subforum. I hope the mods will be pleased if I just post the link to the pictures. Well, lets end talking and start with the pics.

Old Circuit House, Chittagong. Currently serves as "Zia Memorial Museum". It is the deathplace of martyred President Ziaur Rahman- the man who set Bangladesh in the course of democracy and progress while preserving our moral values. A few army officers murdered him in the Circuit House a few decades ago. Ziaur Rahman and the great father of the nation of Bangladesh- Sheikh Mujib are both widely revered as our legendary leaders throughout the country.
