Dhaka, Bangladesh mode of transportation

Rickshaws in Dhaka.At night the hotel clerk would just walk into my room.  I had to put a piece of furniture to block the door.  In the airport I was standing in line to convert money at the bank and men would just walk in front of me...but I said "hey, I was here first get behind me" and they all laughed and obeyed.  I think they did that because I am blonde.  Traveling alone can be nerve wracking ...but makes one reify (makes things real, not just an illusion)
