Armenians in Bangladesh?

Given Joyce's Armenian heritage, I felt I had no choice but to visit the Armenian Church of the Holy Resurrection. As you can see, this church was built in 1781. It is a quiet refuge in an otherwise bustling Old Dhaka. I did not learn how this church came to be in a predominately Muslim region. But it was interesting to see how the city grew around this structure. It only took us about 3 hours to find this church - and this with a hired car, driver, and a Dhaka resident to help. I hesitate to think what would have happened without this help! Old Dhaka is laid out with windy, narrow roads which seem to lead nowhere. Each street is lined with shops of every possible variety. There is no shortage of entrepreneurial spirit in Bangladesh! See the Bangladesh slide show for more pictures of this church.
