TAR 21 Ep 4 "Funky Monkey"
Chateau d If:
Opps!
I got the Roadblock location wrong! :groan:
Here it is. And it is not across the river in Kholamora. It's on Dhaka Demra Road in/near Mridha Para.

Ryan posted this thoughtful comment on his public page. I expect that we could see several teams perhaps being a bit overwhemed by Dhaka. I know from my own travels in Africa and India that sometimes it takes time to see past the poverty to the beauty...and for our racers, the luxury of time is the one thing they don't have...
--- Quote ---Traveling to Bangladesh was an overwhelmingly eye opening and sense rattling experience that I will never forget. More than any other country I have...ever visited, I will forever remember the sights, sounds and smells of the capital city, Dhaka. Being the 8th most populous country in the world, and one of the highest population densities, the destitute, poverty, and filth that piled up in main streets, behind central buildings and country roads, was troubling and incredible all the same. Lacking common societal attributes that we are used to here at home, including street signals, paved roads, flushing toilets, air conditioning, and even clean water meant shock and awe throughout our short time there. But in stark contrast to the unsanitary and polluted environment the people were warm, kind, thoughtful and helpful. We felt equally safe and comforted within the community of people we met and traveled amongst. To communicate our immediate impressions accurately you could say Dhaka as a city was hell on earth but the people, the culture the community itself was the polar opposite.

Peach, I was confused as to where you had found Ryan's insightful comments when I went to his blog and couldn't find an entry there (Surabaya was the last blog entry.) I then realized that he must have had a Facebook entry (with a link from his website) and I found it there.
For everybody else's benefit the url is https://www.facebook.com/theryandanz. And I agree, Ryan's written comments insights have been among the best I've seen out of 21 seasons of Racers.
