Latest-News-30 - The Lonesome Traveler

13 November 2018

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.

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!

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!
