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…

The days, yes the days have become short, but nice and warm. But at night, it’s getting cooler now. It was really cold in the north, which means around 15° C.
Trust & Private Tours: Day-fine, detailed tour plans for private tours make a lot of work (these are multi-page PDF). Work that we like to do when we go on tour together afterwards. Sure, there are budget travelers and therefore everyone can ask us anything, but only to rake in the tour plan is a no-go! Unfortunately, this has somehow arrived. However, in the future we will charge for detailed tour plans 100 € per week, but not more than 200 € (and of course, credited in the event of a tour). End of the announcement.
Travel conditions? Could not be better, apart from occasional small strikes of the bus driver. We are on the way, there may be delays in answering inquiries. Please excuse this.
Eid e-Milad-un Nabi Next Wednesday, 21.11. is the anniversary of the Prophet’s birth and death, so nationwide holiday. Thursday should serve as a bridge day and holiday destinations accordingly booked.
Fresh cell treatments… Mahasthangarh (Pundranagar) got an update. To admire here! Furthermore, we have finally visited the new Museum of the Bangladesh War and are very pleasantly surprised. Insights are here!
Mahankali’s Children Since we were already in Mahasthangarh our photo of the week from there. Dusty historical relics vs. kids hype.

13 October 2018

Drop of temperature! This is not the big news but it should be mentioned anyway: for days the sun hides behind a thick cloud cover. Rain – now and then. The episode, it has “dramatically” cooled to 25 °C and every semi-normal Deshi is currently beating with a cold… That can only mean one “Hemanto” the fifth of the six seasons has begun.
Landline and fax? Currently very bad. Here in the neighborhood an extensive rewiring is in progress and affecting the entire network (see also our photo of the week). Functionality was promised to us until the middle of next week, but we would not bet on state-owned companies…
Travel conditions? If we ignore the weather, you can describe the situation as very good. Matching the theme: Our season has begun and we are traveling again a lot. When answering inquiries, there may be delays. Please excuse this.
Don’t lose the track! Not a modern-day work of art, but a real day-to-day work with the state-owned telephone company. Actually amazing that anything works or hopefully will be back – oops, which would be a prejudice… Our photo of the week.

Bangladesh – what else was and is… New “Other galleries” with pictures of everything that does not really fit into another category. Whether event, museum, authority, school or social institution. Of course, the first is a page with impressions from the Biennale in Dhaka.

25 September 2018

Until the 30th of September the works of 123 artists from Bangladesh and 260 artists from other nations can be seen at the 18th Asian Art Biennale in Dhaka. To be found in the Shilpakala Academy, Segun Bagicha Rd, Dhaka 1000. It's worth it!
Mechanical Reproduction a work by Arafat Karim, exhibited at the 18th Asian Art Biennial in Dhaka. Our photo of the week.

03 September 2018

So slowly, very slowly the raining and the monsoon is coming to an end. We are preparing for the new season and expect many interested guests. Not so many that we do not have capacity. So who wants to be there and really want to experience something “crazy”… we show you Bangladesh!
The Feast of the Sacrifice with all its effects on public life is over. Authorities, departments, schools, banks, etc. everything back to normal. The general (security) situation deserves the predicate “very good”.
Men among themselves… and the youngest of the species are bursting – bursting with curiosity. It is always wonderful to experience how apparently different people find each other so impartially and quickly. To see on our photo of the week. We love Bangladesh!

Bangladesh – Life happens here!

To Bangladesh?

Bangladesh, mon amour!
