Boat Ride To Cross the River
In Bangladesh, when I was growing up, it was customary to not walk around the house wearing shoes worn outdoors in order to keep the living areas clean. While traveling and living in other Asian countries, I have seen the same practice. As I was hopping on to a boat to cross the Buriganga to Sadar Ghat (main wharf), I couldn’t help but notice how one of my fellow passengers had taken his footwear off to keep the sitting area clean.
