Filthy Wonder
The largest port in Bangladesh, the Karnaphuli River is chock full of fishing boats and major cargo vessels. The river and the riverbank are extraordinarily polluted and smelly. But the buzz and hive of activity are fascinating. Fisherman all up and down the riverbanks mend their nets. Hold your breath, but do visit.
