Bangladesh (written বাংলাদেশ in its script, officially the People’s

Republic of Bangladesh), is a South Asian country, bordered by India
and Myanmar, with a coastline in the Bay of Bengal, part of the larger
Indian Ocean. Bangladesh has an area roughly 40% that of Japan, butBANGLADESH

an estimated population of about 162 million, 40 million more thanJapan; Bangladesh is also the most population dense large country inthe world.
The capital of Bangladesh is Dhaka; other popular cities include
Chittagong, Khulna, Sylhet, and Rajshahi. The official language ofBangladesh is Bangla, also written Bengali (desh meaning country).
Anything pertaining to Bangladesh is called Bangladeshi, a speaker ofBangla is a Bengali. The population is 98% Bengali and 90% Muslim.
The national animal is the Bengal tiger, fish is the Hilsa (Ilish), and thecurrency is taka.

HistoryThe region which is now Bangladesh has been a part of numerous empires.
It has seen eras under Hinduism, Buddhism, and most recently Islam underMughal empire from the 17th Century. It was under the British empire from 1757
to 1947, and soon after became East Pakistan from 1955. After years of tension
culminating with the Pakistani government decreeing the state language to bemade Urdu, we fought and won our independence in 1971. The 21st of February 1971, when multiple Bengali students were killed for protesting the recognition of the Bangla language, is celebrated to this day by Bangladeshis; in 1999
UNESCO announced 21st February to be celebrated as International Mother
Language Day to promote awareness of linguistics, cultural diversity andmultilingualism.

FoodBangladeshi cuisine has influences from various empires it came across in its
history, but also from its geography. Our staple like much of South Asia is longgrain rice. Being part of the largest river delta in the world we also love fresh-water fish. On the 14th of April, Bangladeshi New Years, we traditionally eat panta

bhat and ilish, a type of fermented rice dish and our national fish. We are also
well known for our sweets, namely roshogolla, also known by its name in Hindi,rasgulla.

Carrying from the topic of food, if you’re a lover of food you should definitely visit Old Dhaka, a hub of delicacies and culture. If you’reenthralled by architecture you can find monuments erected after our war of Independence in Dhaka, but also mosques, palaces andmany other building rich in culture dating back hundreds if not thousands of years. Finally if you’re a lover of nature you can visit Shundorbon, to the West, or Bandorbon, the hill track areas in Chittagong, or Cox’s Bazaar the world’s longest beach, in the East.

Yutoku Inari Shrine

As the summer vacation
drew to a close on the 14th of
September, KUFSA organized a2-day trip to Nagasaki prefecture.
Around 60 excited students and family
members departed from various campuses in themorning and we all gathered at the Yutoku Inari Shrine in Saga.
This is considered as one of the 3 most famous Inari shrines inJapan; and these are shrines dedicated to the Inari deity generally
associated with foxes, rice and prosperity. Unsurprisingly we weregreeted by a large number of red torii and we caught glimpses offox statues all around as we made our way to the top of the hill.

Unzen HellAfter that we headed over to the Unzen part of Nagasaki
prefecture, stopping firstly at the Chijiwa tourist center forsome lunch. After which we took some time to relax at Hot
Foot 105, the longest hot foot bath in Japan measuring105m in length and whose source is said to be at a blazing
105 degrees. Luckily the water running through the foot bath
was cooled to a comfortable temperature and we could dip
our feet in and relax for a while. We then proceeded towitness the fuming smoke coming from the ground at thefamous Unzen hell. After that we then went over to our
accommodation place in Shimabara where we had a nicedinner, a soothing bath and afterwards played games andchatted till the late hours of the night.

Nagasaki Peace park
We woke up early morning on the 15th, had breakfast andtook off for our second day adventures by 9:30. Our main
destination for the second day was the Nagasaki Atomic
Bomb museum. There we were able to learn about the pain
and suffering brought about by the atomic bomb which
exploded over Nagasaki on August 9th 1945. We also foundout a lot about the history behind the bombing and theprocess behind rebuilding the city to its present glory. Afterthat we went over to the peace park where we had adelicious picnic lunch and then proceeded to explore otherparts of the beautiful city. Overall it was a well-rounded trip
with plenty of fun activities and we hope you can join us for
our future trips.
