I am surprise you do not know there are two types of black and white films in the world.

Thanks to the lab staff in Yonge & King Branch Shoppers, 69 Yonge Street in Toronto, putting my Ilford Panf Plus 50 B/W film into C-41 chemical, and I lost all the photos on the roll.

I was going to take the films to develop in another lab which I found in flickr discussion group, but it was close on Saturday so I went to the Shoppers instead.

I kept on asking him do you do black and white development there, at least THREE time, and he said YES.

"Oh Sorry! Your roll of film is empty. I think your camera should have some problem."

"Are the photos IMPORTANT?"

At that moment I was thinking it is possible my camera have some problem, but not after I saw the film. It was 100% totally clear, even the numbers, film code, Ilford name are gone, 100% clear.

I try to google what will happen if you put b/w into C-41 chemical, and I believe the lab staff have done so.

How on earth a staff in a photo developing lab does not know there are two type of b/w film in the world? And I think it is common sense for them not to put normal b/w film into C-41.

In an average village in Bangladesh there is supposed to be a government village doctor, who is usually absent, running a private clinic in a city. There are five to ten drug-sellers, who do their best to help their clients, but most lack any related training. Drugtrade is a huge business, largely unregulated. There are very, very few government "drug inspectors". The drug selling branch is self-organised and self-regulated. At the picture some steetkids are exploring medicines found among garbage.
