I worked in Bangladesh for 3 years, and it is such a land of contrasts.
The main electricity supply company at the time was running manual billings from a big room filled with manual general ledgers, one “T” account per household.
It is a humbling, impoverished country with its main riches being its resilient, kind, resourceful people.
Down the road/bay from Chittagong are the shipwrecking yards - a big time investment but worth watching is this…

<edit> the film I am looking for is Iron Eaters, a very human view of the horrific shipyards. The above film is from India, but still worth looking at.
- ccleve 4y agoThank you for the link. I just watched it in entirety. It's slow moving but well worth it. It's about a world I did not know existed.
