Metroji clue #17

Dhaka in five emoji

Bangladesh

One of the densest cities anywhere, built on a delta that floods by design rather than by accident. The traffic is the first thing everyone mentions.

What each emoji refers to

Cycle rickshaws number in the hundreds of thousands, and the painted panels on the back are a trade of their own.
The Sundarbans mangroves south of the city hold the largest single tiger population left.
The Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna meet here, which is why so much of the country is water.
Bangladesh is second only to China in clothing exports, and most of it is stitched around Dhaka.
Kacchi biryani is cooked with the meat raw in the pot rather than browned first.
