Geo answer
We circle back to Bangladesh now for the answer to today’s Geo Quiz. And that is the city of Dhaka.

They’ve decided to carve up the city into seven zones? and have the malls and shops in each zone take a different day off. Not everyone likes the plan. Critics are predicting chaos. But many shop owners, who now work seven days a week, say the plan doesn’t sound so bad.
