- Thanks for the information, it is intriguing and I shall follow up my research. In the mean time, your images had no connecting Category so people can view them. I placed them in a general Category:Bangladesh so you may want to place them in a Gallery or a separate Category. Thanks WayneRay (talk) 18:31, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
