''Bangla''town in East London(1)

Recently, as you know, there are large numbers of Chinatowns all over the world. In Chinatown, there are so many kinds of Chinese stores like ''Rairai-ken'' or ''Caimei-kan'' that it is very interesting to visit.
By the way, do you know about ''Bangla''town? Probably you don't know about it, I think. ''Bangla''town is Bangladeshtown. So many Bangladeshi live here and run food shops or dress shops or something like that.
There is few city which has Banglatown. But in Bricklain in East London has it. 5 minutes walk from Liverpool Street station, at the edge of city, there is a town called ''East End'' and this is the Banglatown in East London. This town is conposed of immigrants from Bangladesh in 1970's. Originally, in these place, was immigrants' town. And there were some racial changes from Huguenot, Judaea, to Bangladeshi.
It is told that the Mosque (the religion of Islam's church) on the street was the Synagogue (the religion of Judaea's church) at the time when the most of people in here were Judaea.
