Summary Water - the world here seems to consist only of this element. Whoever lives here needs amphibious abilities. We are in Bangladesh, more precisely, in the delta of the Bay of Bengal. After the Amazonas and the delta of the Congo, the Bay of Bengal is the third largest "water landscape" on earth. The inhabitants have adapted, live on ships, boats and if the monsoon doesn't wash away whole regions, on small islands in the middle of the moving water hell. The water is an animal, unpredictable and cunning - say the Bengali - because you never know whether your house will still stand tomorrow. Most of the "water people" of the Gulf live from fishing, smaller odd jobs or "in hell". Hell" is a monstrous scrapping yard, a house of the dead for disused soul sellers, a gigantic ship cemetery near Cittagong, Bangladesh's largest port city. Here, unskilled workers manually dismantle rusting refrigerator ships, passenger steamers and container ships around the clock. The area is regarded as a poison toilet that no one enters voluntarily. GO EAST visits the "scrappers from the Gulf" who work in an area that could be the backdrop for Hollywood's screen apocalypses.
