This is a top pick! ... by begging. I found myself thinking so much about the hundreds of times I have been approached by beggars in India, Bangladesh, South East Asia, San Francisco, and how complicated that situation is. There is a constant internal debate about giving ...
Never have I ever
This is a top pick! I have never been more willing to work myself beyond the point of physical and mental exhaustion with the people I work with. I have never felt more needed by a group of "coworkers" and never more an integral part of the work I am trying to do. I ...
My first whole one!
This is a top pick! ... only is that a fantastic score for just a day and a half's play but a huge achievement and confidence booster for Bangladesh. Australia batted extremely badly so a very tense afternoon was spent with Australia struggling to hold on. They were 6 wickets ...
Return to Dhaka
This is a top pick! ... but he did win!! Bangladesh was over. We were off at a ridiculous hour tomorrow morning over to easy-to-travel Bangkok. Bangladesh has been an interesting place to see. I'm disappointed that we didn't see much of the country but it was great ...
Kristina's accounts- before it turned bad (late)
This is a top pick! ... , also known as GI, on the roof is an interesting and fairly uncomfortable task. The wooden roof structure considered adequate in Bangladesh wouldn't meet any western standards. Much of the wood is splitting or only half of its intended size. I'm pretty ...

Can you swim?
This is a top pick! ... We spent about an hour and a half at the small museum, taking in a wealth of previously unknown information about Bangladesh's struggle for independence, and in particular information about the war of liberation from March until December 1971. I had no ...

This is a top pick! ... a new team to massacre But the question is Who is left on the list Because we're up against some other team you know This is Bangladesh you know And if we are beaten, I'm going to have to get pissed !!! A 05:00 start was heavy, especially when you ...
2nd One Day International, Dhaka
This is a top pick! The bus trip was uneventful. It took slightly longer to return to Dhaka, as we had the traffic to contend with. Once we were in an area that we knew, we asked the bus boy to let us off. He refused, but after a little nudge, he saw the error of his ways, ...
Pollution City
This is a top pick! ... to the Hotel Imperial. The cheapest room here was a whopping 700Tk, so I found myself in the absurd situation of wandering around Old Dhaka at 6:45am with Lonely Planet in hand trying to find a hotel room! I soon found a room at the Grand Palace ...

This is a top pick! ... cost and food! Asif (the hasher) totally hooked us up! His place came with air-con which is Oh-So important in Bangladesh and the care taker of the house made us breakfast every morning! What a treat! The next day Asif took us out on his ...
One final hash
This is a top pick! Our last stop in Bangladesh was once again Dhaka. Instead of making the incredibly long bus journey back to India we opted to fly.. Once again, Asif graciously let us stay in his extra house and brought us to the hash. Our last ...
Gulshan the Posh
This is a top pick! ... main reason behind this is that Bangladeshis are not as big in street food eating as the Southeast Asians. Until 1971, Bangladesh was united with current-day Pakistan. She was called East Pakistan back then. Mrs. Rahman commented that West Pakistan's ...

Myanmar back to Dhaka
