The country I would like to visit

For many years I've been wanting to visit Bangladesh. I don't know well why actually, maybe it's just the name of the country, very particular and exotic, and it's even more attractive when you pronounce it. But of course, Bangladesh is not only a beautiful name, the weather and the flora for example, are a great experience to live, with rain forests full of animal life, a thousand kinds of insects and a lot of fantastic flowers and dangerous predators. Bangladesh is also the cradle of Rabindranath Tagore, one of the greatest poets of all time and the first young one and a non-European in winning the Literature Nobel Prize (all the others had been Europeans over the sixty years). Besides, the poet is the author of the national anthem of Bangladesh and was a close friend of Mahatma Ghandi.

But as not everything can be perfect, Bangladesh, like many other countries in the world, has to deal with much of the problems brought by the poverty, globalization and the legacy of colonialism, specially strong in that region with the hordes of "colonization companies" that came from England. One very specific problem of this kind is children prostitutoin in certain towns far away from the capital or any other center of power.

Despite of all the bad things that exists in every part of the world, I think Bangladesh can offer a lot of good moments and diverse experiences. Every centimeter of land is worth it.
