Gulshan 2 Circle

This is where it's at. Everything. Pretty much.  

Gulshan 2 Circle is a mega crossroad, with mega traffic issues.  It's also where a lot of business takes place.


Twiter must be a new bangladeshi social media form

Tuk tuks are known as CNG's or baby taxis.  They now run on Compressed Natural Gas - I haven't yet been able to find out where the Natural Gas comes from
Most of the time, this is how Gulshan 2 circle is experienced.  There are traffic lights, but they don't work.  Instead there are policemen, who direct the traffic.  Each "green" is much longer than it would be in Europe, but then again, so is each red.

O no, far more fun than Rwanda. Bumper to bumper, not a hair in between. Just like a circus atraction.
