Bangladesh-feeling like superstars


What strikes us most concerning Bangla people is their friendliness and their curiosity! While this is true for most countries we have visited so far, it IS really exceptionnal here in Bangladesh! Everywhere we pass, people offer their help and give us their phone numbers in case we need it! 
The question we definitely hear the most is " uat is nam of iu cantrii". We explain them where Luxembourg is and notice that they really have no clue either of what we say or have understandably never heard of Luxembourg before!
Very often, while waiting for the bus, train, in a line to pay the entrance-fee, having a rest or just when walking in the street- people stop and stare at us (and ask the famous sentence) ! And by people we are not talking about 1 or 2 guys- add a zero to those numbers and you'll get close to reality! This can make you feel very claustrophobic(!!!!),  like an alien but mostly like a superstar!!!! 
On one picture below you'll see Cheun surrounded by a small group as well as a Japanese couple (wearing beige) experimenting the same thing. Don't forget to watch the video!

Well, you might call it  "stalking",  we'll call it "socializing"!
