Postcard from Bangladesh

This is my first postcard from Bangladesh! 

People's Republic of Bangladesh is a sovereign country in South Asia. It forms the largest and eastern portion the ethno-linguistic region of Bengal. Located at the apex of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh is bordered by India and Myanmar and is separated from Nepal and Bhutan by the narrow Siliguri Corridor. Bangladesh is the world's eighth-most populous country.

Three of Asia's largest rivers, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Meghna, flow through Bangladesh and form the fertile Bengal delta — the largest delta in the world. With rich biodiversity, Bangladesh is home to 700 rivers, most of the world's largest mangrove forest; rainforested and tea-growing highlands; a 600 km coastline with one of the world's longest beaches; and various islands, including a coral reef.

There's a lot of nice stamps on this postcard:
Mohastan Garh, issued on 01.08.1980.
The 8th National Scout Jamboree, issued on 16.01.2010.
Falco Tinnunculus, issued on 13.01.2013.
Postal Communications, issued on 21.12.1983.


Thank you Rahman!
