In this village this local guy had his own wood shop, in which he made several kinds of furniture. Here he is working on a bed. 

In the village of Baria Sani in Bangladesh a lot of villagers gathered when they saw Reina strolling through the village. Most of the people here never saw a bideshi (foreigner). They were pleased to sing a national song which Reina recorded. Thank you so much for the beautiful song!

In Bangladesh there are a lot of Van's, used as local transportation. But this Van driver was very special; he sang a Lalon's song while driving us around

In Bangladesh there are a lot of ferries, since a big part of Bangladesh exists out of water. Resulting in wide rivers all around the country, with water coming from the Himalaya's.

This second largest shopping mall (19 floors, including cinemas, swimming pool and a lot of shopping possibilities) is situated at Panthapath in Dhaka. Up to 50.000 people visit this shopping mall daily, which makes it one of the biggest shopping malls of South Asia.When people finished their shopping, they wait in the front of the mall for the car to pick them up. On these stairs the sound was recorded. 

After a couple of hot days in Dhaka, Bangladesh, this thunder storm was very refreshing. This was recorded and captured by the end of March. During this period of time a lot of thunderstorms are crossing Bangladesh and India. These storms are called Nor'westers or Kalbaishakhi. This storm was quite a heavy one, and at least killed 6 people in Dhaka because of falling trees and bricks (Dhaka Tribune, March 31 2019, https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/dhaka/2019/03/31/nor-wester-hits-dhaka-causes-traffic-chaos).Also there is an increase of thunderstorms measured in Bangladesh and people need to be made aware of the dangers of thunder storms (The Independent BD, September 11, 2018 http://www.theindependentbd.com/printversion/details/165859). 

This sound and picture are captured on the way to Melamchi in Nepal. A bumpy, but beautiful ride. 

We found the church during hiking in Nagarkot. The village people are so peaceful and calm . They are singing and playing their own instruments . We were sitting in  this church for a while  and listening to  their songs . The church is so simple . Made from bamboo with a tinnen  rooftop .

During our hike in Nepal we walked along a lot of small waterfalls. This water is so fresh, we were so happy to hear that during a hot day. Even though it wasn't raining or snow wasn't melting, the water kept on coming. Due to condense up in the hills. During the recording there came a beautiful bird sitting next to Adil, wanting to be heard on our recording ;) Enjoy. 

This hospitable lady owned a little shop on the road to Telkot from Changunarayan in Nepal. This road is wel known because of the beautiful hiking trail and amazing views of the Himalaya. Before we started the hike we decided to eat first at her place. We recorded the sound while she was cooking Chow Min  for us. 

We met this old lady in Nepal, Nagarkot. While we were hiking it started to rain really heavily. We needed to find a place for shelter. Finally we reached a small clay house . Around this house there were chickens, a cow and several goats. There was nobody home when we arrived there. We wondered who the owner was of this place. But we were dry underneath the veranda. Suddenly there arrived a lady who let the cow inside of the clay home; the cow had no shelter  because of the rain (and thunder storm). Then she offered us water.  Which turned out to be ROXY, a local alcoholic drink which is very strong and home made. She told us she was worried about her friend, who was still working outside in the thunder storm. Luckily her friend came back a couple of minutes later. After the rain we went on towards our next destination.
