Bangladesh – Life happens here!

Life in all its colour, passion, adventure, bizarre happiness… We come into contact with a strange world, we let ourselves drift and feel, we become part of this world. It will cost you some strength, a little bit of courage and time, because wanting to get to know Bangladesh and its people is not easy. See it for yourself and at the end of your journey, be enriched by an important lesson – an life experience. Because we love Bangladesh and hate prejudices.

To Bangladesh?

Tourism in Bangladesh, a contrast in itself. Bangladesh is reduced generally to textile factories, poverty, environmental disasters and corruption. A significant tourism does not exist. But the country is more, much more! The mighty rivers of Asia, impenetrable jungle, tea plantations, lonely coasts, mega cities, small settlements, vibrant markets, historical legacies, rich flora and fauna, ethnic minorities – which is also Bangladesh! So why not plunge into a world of intense life, full of passion, adventure and bizarre happiness, far from the standard tourist track?

Bangladesh, mon amour!

But primarily Bangladesh is its residents. May it be because that Bangladesh presents in all its originality, they are the greatest thing it has to offer the country. People here make your trip a memorable one. They remind you of the true meaning of ”important”, ”petty” and what it takes to be ”happy”. Do you really ”take something”, you want to know ”how the country is ticking” you have to get to know people, the kindest and happiest people in the world and we make sure. Let go and see contrasts, diversity, happiness and love, lots of love. We are at your side…

Rural idyll in the village of Mirzanogor where a strange-looking building stands on the outskirts of the village, surrounded by trees and fields but not in our photo of the week. Here it is more like “Enjoy your meal!”

Travel conditions are excellent, no disturbances, we enjoy it but it gets warmer again, the winter has had its days.
Not only friends of photography should remember Chobi Mela, we were for the first time at the quite impressive international festival of photography in Dhaka. Here impressions of the event.
Not only for zoo friends Dhaka does not make it easy for those looking for a green oasis. In the north of Dhaka, in Mirpur, offers in this context, the National Zoo and is now much better than its reputation. Here are pictures of our last visit.

World Congregation I On Thursday (until Monday) the time has come: The Bishwa Ijtema, the annual gathering of Muslims in Tongi, on the banks of the Turag, in the outskirts of Dhaka. With 5 million visitors, it is the largest Islamic pilgrimage and exceeds, the Hajj, by 2 million. The Ijtema is one of the largest peaceful gatherings in the world. A prayer meeting that spans five days, during which the prayers are present and listen to scholars recite and explain verses from the Qur'an. It culminates in the Akheri Munajat (closing prayer), where millions of believers raise their hands before Allah and pray for world peace. Needless to say, the traffic situation in Uttara, Tongi and the surrounding area and public life come to a standstill.
World Congregation II The Bishwa Ijtema is seen as a demonstration of Muslim unity, solidarity, mutual love and mutual respect and as an opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to Islamic values. It is apolitical and therefore attracts people of all beliefs from around 150 countries of the world. The majority of his followers, however, come from Bangladesh, as in our photo of the week.

Normality… now almost a month after the polling of 100 million B'deschis. No strikes, no Hartal, no restrictions and no one seems dissatisfied: so there are best travel conditions!
Eyes right! now with our feathered friends. The mortal enemy of every fisherman in triple formation on our photo of the week.

After the general election All clear! The election was over. The expected call for a strike did not exist, at least until now. We are not here to comment on the outcome, perhaps two from the media: The Daily Star Dhaka: “Foreign observers expressed their satisfaction with the electoral process and called it a shining example for other democratic countries.” The BBC: “A Chittagong correspondent reported that the ballot box was already full of votes, even before the opening of a polling station.”
Travel conditions? Best! Warm during the day, cool in the night, misty in the morning – and no Hartal in sight.

Bangladesh – Life happens here!

To Bangladesh?

Bangladesh, mon amour!
