Ashulia Hash

I’ve discovered that Hash is the gateway drug to exercise.  Now that I’ve tried it, I can’t stop myself.  Nothing like a walk in the country for exercise, fun and good photo ops.

It rained all day Friday, so the turnout was light.  Our destination this time was Ashulia – much closer to Dhaka and much more developed.  This did give us a chance to walk through more villages and meet more people.  We started at a restaurant and ended in a field for the circle.  Soon there were local people running in from all sides.  Our little circle of hashers was soon surrounded by hundreds of curious locals.  They found our singing and antics quite entertaining and the cell phone cameras were clicking like crazy.  





Pumping water takes group effort.



This is so typical of Bangladesh – the men and boys all came in close to investigate, while the women kept a discreet distance.
