Everywhere: Articles: Bangladeshi Street Barber

Street Barber 2 by Hilary Heuler

In Bangladesh, one of the world's most crowded countries, life can't help but spill out onto the street. Barbers in the northern town of Bogra set up shop on the sidewalk with just a chair, a mirror, an old rag and a set of razors; men can get a shave and a haircut for pennies.

In Bangladesh, one of the world's most crowded countries, life can't help but spill out onto the street. Barbers in the northern town of Bogra set up shop on the sidewalk with just a chair, a mirror, an old rag and a set of razors; men can get a shave and a haircut for pennies. This man was patiently amused when I walked up with my camera, and chuckled as I snapped away. But it wasn't long before I collected a crowd of puzzled onlookers who thought that the real roadside attraction was me. Who on earth takes pictures of a barber??

Honestly, tourists are crazy.
