Bangladesh is Beautiful  in its  own ways. It has a Parliament Building, that's where the government meets and makes laws. Below is a picture of the Parliament.

This is agriculture in Bangladesh. As you can see from the picture that life in Bangladesh is very different from life in America. People there depend on their crops  to make a living. The people don't make that much money to support there families. You have to understand that children that are born in poor families never get an education. They have to work.
