Hi

My country , Bangladesh is very small country. Many part of the world do not hear about if. I know a lot of members may also have not heard about my country

So post here whether you have heard my country name before ?

**Fredto** · 07-04-2006, 01:47 PM

Yes, I've heard about the Bangladesh before

Heard there was a lot of poor people down there and I there was a war a few years back. Not sure, though.

Fredto:
Right you are. A lot of poor people but a great war also in 71. We have fought for independence.

**Fredto** · 07-04-2006, 01:54 PM

Aye.

It's hard to remember everything I learn in a day, it's a miracle I remembered that...

I heard of it during the war but you don't hear much about it any more, I think the last time I read anything was some kind of flood or typhoon something like that.
