Roadside Assistance

20 Jan 2013 221
So, on our way back from our ride, my chain broke. Three kilometres from town, and the nearest qualified place to make such a repair, I was not looking forward to walking back. At a little village, these guys noticed my predicament and quickly retrieved some pliers and a hammer. Jo was offered a chair to sit on while she waited, and a coffee was offered (or tea, I'm sure, if she had preferred). Ten minutes later, we had a makeshift repair, two less links, and we were on our way. No expectations. This was a great example of Bangla warmth and hospitality.

Seven Layer Tea

Jo with a glass of Srimangal's famous seven layer tea. Yes, it was possible to taste the distinct layers, and they remained separated until we finished drinking. Just don't ask us what each layer was any more. Lemon, ginger, green, milk, I think, and some others.
