This is actually the last card, but nevermind I put first, as it shows an interesting rikshaw here.. though it’s nothing unusual to a Kelantanese like me who lives in a state where trishaws are still in existence (apart of Malacca and Penang, and maybe Terengganu as well).. but I noticed Bangladeshi rikshaw has the bike in the front side. In Kelantan it’s on the right side, and in Penang you can see it on the back side :) hehe. Now I remember I also got a trishaw card from Indonesia, which maybe I’ll feature next time, so we can judge the position of its bike.

This is a farmer cutting the jute plants. At least I haven’t seen jute plants before. Jute is a long, soft, vegetable fiber that they make strong threads with. Bangladesh is world’s second largest jute producer after India.

When I saw this card I recalled a Malay movie from the 50s or 60s with a village scene where farmers, women and men, were walking in a queue like this early in the morning going to the rice field… and singing along “mari kita ke ladang..” (let’s go to the field) :) It gives an exceptionally wonderful mood, with the idea of people used to be so happy to go to work. Do you think you’re that happy to go to work now? :)
