Two Bangladeshi Girls In Chorki

This is a picture of two Bangladeshi girls on a fully manual, wooden merry-go-round. In Bangla (Language in Bangladesh) it is called "Chorki". Chorki is a popular entertaining tool in rural areas in Bangladesh. Operators carry a Chorki from one place to another.
This Chorki is a portable wooden structure with a vertical rotor (manual) at the center. there are four blades on it, each blade carries two seats. Two adult persons stand by the side of the Chorki to move those blades.

It looks quite simple and gentle, but it is really scary. Because wooden blades rotate with a scary noise and with an uncertain movement. I have experienced the speed and fear.
