There are so many inappropriate things I could say about this photo, but of course as they are inappropriate I'll keep them to myself. The two girls are the final two contestants in the battle to burst the blown up condoms (or balloon in Bangla). I think it's incredibly Bangladeshi not to see the irony behind this yet there is also something incredibly irish in me that for a second, I felt almost embarassed when they offered me a few blown up ones for myself. Oh and yes, this is how we celebrate the new year in Bangladesh...1417 is gunna be a good one! More photos from this wacky and enjoyable day in the sidebar.
