This is the South Dhaka side. So Old Dhaka is here. Old Dhaka and the other side is the business. Yeah. This boat come here morning time, going today tonight. After Barisal, the boat, another boat. So it comes in the morning, leaves in the night. Yeah. What are in these? They got padlocks on. These are the cabins. These are the expensive ones, huh? Yes. Okay. One cabin, two people sleep in 4,000. 4,000. So one cabin is 4,000 Taka, which by my calculation makes it about £24. This is the driving room. Oh, he drives the boat in there. Yeah. Wow. Is that the captain's clothes, huh? Washing his clothes. And this is the, well, there is the shower after washing, washing this dress. Nice. Is Bangladesh good at cricket? Bangladesh is the good, but sometimes, sometimes is the bad, bad cricket. So you think England's good at cricket?
