Cow Market!

Today my coworker invited me to go with his family to the cow market to pick out their cow for Eid. It was very interesting, there were THOUSANDS of cows! Seriously blocks and blocks of nothing but cows! And this was one of only the 20+ cow markets in the city. The cows will start being decorated tomorrow and will be slaughtered on Saturday. I decided not to stay in Dhaka to see the bloodbath, and instead will be heading to Kathmandu, Nepal for the weekend.

Here are some pictures of the market. The sight of a white female walking through the market gathered some attention as you can see below. It also made my coworker quite popular with his neighbors, which he was basking in. Never the less it was very kind of him to invite me, and quite the experience!!
