Lots of pineapples were laid out on a wagon parked in the shade

Two men were sitting beside a wagon parked in the shade by the roadside. The sun was harsh, and most street vendors seemed to set up shop wherever there was shelter. To work under direct sunlight here would be nothing short of reckless.

On top of the wagon, dozens of pineapples were neatly arranged—this was a roadside pineapple stand. In Dhaka, it's not unusual to spot banana trees growing even in the middle of the city, but I can’t recall ever seeing a pineapple plant. I couldn’t help but wonder: where were these pineapples harvested?
