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…

Nicholas has left! What a pity, he could have stayed here for a few more days. Conclusion: a successful seasoning, if only a short one. His commentary on the travel and security guidelines of the German Foreign Office: “If you read that in advance, you will be scared, but here on the ground, I feel anything but threatened.” End of the announcement.
To the situation: After the water masses and the monsoon returns a piece of normality. In the south-west (Cox’s Bazar) there is an increased presence of security forces (Rohingya refugee camps). Otherwise, it is hot and since yesterday the Durga Puja (also Durgotsava and Navaratri) in full swing. The largest of all Hindu festivals will last for a week, teaching facilities are on vacation. But the Shankharia Bazar in Dhaka is topsy-turvy!
Like Munich and Oktoberfest. Some things belong together. Bangladesh and fish farming does the same. And where ponds are drained, THEY are not far. Our new photo of the week “Mudskipper”.

The monsoon is dying but to drain, the water masses will probably still need a while. What does this mean for the traveler? There are still considerable restrictions in the shipping and overland traffic, especially north of Dhaka.
Eid Mubarak! The celebration of the sacrificial festival (the “bloody Eid”) is ongoing and will officially continue until September 6th. Unofficially will not do much more until Saturday 9 September. Anyway, this week is to be expected with a high passenger traffic by bus and train or in other words, there are hardly any tickets left.
Where the job is lacking one also accesses unconventional means. Or: A heavyweight in search of a job. Our new photo of the week. “Heavyweight with offspring”.

The toes tanga :) Are correctly identified as thongs in the technical terminus are also degraded object of the desire – at least for various recycling companies. Our new photo of the week “Flip.Flop.Finish.”

11 July 2017

Land submerged! The northeast is almost flooded. The precipitates, which were already exceptional before the rainy season, and the seasonally induced ones, have swept vast expanses of land in the north-east. Whole villages and settlements are cut off from the outside world and what was once rice fields and meadows are now lakes!
In addition our new photo of the week. “A wet dream” taken near Srimangal.
Offspring at the day trips! The day trips have gotten reinforcement: ARPARA ZAMINDAR PALAST - THE UNKNOWN and TEOTA - THE FORGOTTEN BEAUTY AT THE JAMUNA.
Construction site? Website! From now on https:// A green lock and "safe" in the (our) address line mean a secure connection to our website. We want to stay with us…

25 June 2017

Eid Mubarak! The traditional greeting at the end of the fasting period, which will be the case tomorrow. This means Monday is a holiday, as is the rest of the week. Public life will go back to normal again from Tuesday, but this does not apply to authorities, banks etc. Eid holidays!
He who sleeps, does not quit. Our new photo of the week, taken in Bagha, not far from Rajshahi.
