Anybody from Bangladesh?

[Abdul Rafay]

I've been to Bangladesh a few times, since my ancestors are Bangladeshi.

I have an English accent, I suppose, so when I went to the marketplace, everyone bumped up the price of their goods like 10 times.

Just be careful. Don't be too trusting there. If your daughter is going, I'd probably suggest always going out in a group. Going alone might be dangerous. And I'd strongly suggest to not dress too extravagantly when going out.

Other than that, Bangladeshis are known for their hospitality. I pray she has a good and safe time, insha-Allah.

Hi glo ,


I m confused about Abu Dhabi airport

never heard of such airport here .

Sorry about the confusion, Muslim Woman. Abu Dhabi International airport is in the United Arab Emirates. That's where they stopped over before taking the plane to Dhaka.

Lizard

It's Gecko, from family Gekkonidae. They live in the house, usually in village areas.

In Indonesia we call Gecko as "Tokek" because they have a loud enough voice that sounded as "to...kek ...... to...kek"

Smaller species from family Gekkonidae. They live in my house too.

In Indonesia we call them as "Cecak" because they sound "cak...cak...cak"

Thank you, ardianto. That's really interesting.

My daughter likes the geckos. Spiders and cockroaches are a different matter though ... :exhausted

Yes, Raaina. She loves the country and the people.

She hasn't told me about any large wasp things. And we keep teasing her about tigers ... hew

My daughter is home!
So excited to have her back - but it's a bit of a culture shock for her. "What is it with people showing their shoulders and legs??!" she says.

Anyway, we spent hours looking at pictures and chatting.
Here are a few funny pictures I thought I'd share with you.


"Famous European Food" - perhaps that like the Brits "going for an Indian" ;D

Toilet sign ;D
