Yeah, and a lot of people don't know it. Even for Bangladeshi standards the working and living standards are atrocious.

well they dont have to work for them if they dont want to, its not like thier forcing them into working for them otherwise they'll kill them or anything, its thier own free will if they dont like it find somewehre else im not saying i agree with it but thats the just the way it is, thier looking to make the most profit out of thier business venture and theyll do anything that will minimise the cost of thier structure

Obviously they don't have alot of choice as far as work goes otherwise I'm sure they would find somewhere with better pay and conditions. Anyway SiGh said pictures so....

Bath in England. Beautiful place went there for a day, not long enough. The architecture throughout the whole town is stunning.. Want to go back sooo bad!

Ljublijanabanana.. Also gorgeous.

I don't want to go offtopic too much, but I felt I need to respond to this.

See, the thing is they lure workers to their country under the pretense there will be plenty of work. Now, while this may be true, once these people arrive in Dubai or Qatar, they are treated so poorly and earn so little (which they send to their families back home anyway) they practically can't even leave.

So yeah, it IS like forcing them to work. Most even get their passports taken from them by their employers.

It sounds scandalous and one is surprised this is allowed to happen, but it's true.


Anyway, pictures..

One more from our crooked tower since the last pic didn't quite work

Angel Fortress in Rome. Very impressive.

That's one crooked tower, but looks great!... Is it built that way or eroded land over the years?

Mostar bridge rocks.

Bora Bora is sick, always wanted to go.

^ WTF. I WANT! Is that Croatia too? Where do you get all this stuff?


The tower was the belltower for a much larger chuch complex here in Leeuwarden, constructed centuries ago.

One small drawback though. Our soggy clay soil couldn't support the weight of the tower, lol. This being the 1600's or so, obviously they didn't find out until they were already in construction . They tried to carry on for a bit but it was hopeless. So they abandoned the project, with the leaning, unfinished (hence the flat top) belltower left standing.

 

[Flipmo]

It's like the Dutch leaning tower of Pisa Very cool history though.

Yeah, it's in Croatia. Been there a few times, it's quite amazing to see. Too bad they don't let you swim around in it. They let you swim in the Krka waterfalls though.
