Dhaka's National Monument, which is found in Savar, Dhaka, is a monument to the national martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the liberation of Bangladesh. The monument was designed by Arch Syed Maiul Hussain and is about 150 feet tall.
I was interested to find out that there are SEVERAL mass-graves in front of the monument.
It was interesting that while we were there, people were literally following us around taking pictures of us!! Finally, myself, Tena, and Hannah (some fellow teachers) starting striking "poses" for them, and then we really caused a stir. We had CROWDS around us. If you don't let it get to you, you really do feel like a movie star! :)
You can really see here, on the grounds surrounding the monument, firstly how beautiful they were, and secondly some women in the corner who are completely covered...we decided to keep our heads covered as well to draw less attention...although it didn't work!
Anyways, it was a good trip and interesting to see the monument. More updates again soon!
Much prayers needed,
In Christ,
Corinne :)
