Good to be back of course :D

Unfortunately it’s not a weekend so there is no rest, even though there has been no rest for the last 2 weeks in Dhaka. Will be flying to Nanjing on the 19th for a couple of days, and then Dhaka again early next month. >_

Dhaka!

Supposed to fly back on the 9th, but the flight will be on the 13th instead! Been spending the last few days looking for a brand new apartment to lease or buy if the price is right. Unfortunately, the real estate market isn’t as advanced or convenient like in Australia where you have access to a wealth of info on the interweb, and many home-owners do not advertise in the english paper. So we just drove around, street by street to find new apartments with ‘TO LET’ signs! The system works, but it’s just tiring and time consuming.

Haven’t found a suitable place yet, as the property developers here don’t build that nice. The interior decorating is not that good too!

I was also supposed to watch Barcelona play in Hong Kong today, but it’s obviously not happening anymore. Luckily the typhoons around Hong Kong meant that the match was rescheduled, so that means tickets will be fully refunded :D I hope it doesn’t affect the flight back! Flight turbulence is not good for the heart.

Dhaka!

I’m completely exhausted but things will be more relaxed after the dinner we are hosting tomorrow night. 130 invitations have been sent out and hopefully 80% of guests will turn up for the dinner at the Radisson Dhaka. 

There’s a special treat for the guests. Swani Zubayeer, a leading Ghazal singer in Bangladesh will be performing at the event. Ghazal is a poetic song style that is popular in this subcontinent. Hopefully the guests will enjoy it as Swani didn’t come cheap!

Hello from Dhaka

I thought I lost my adapter/converter kit!

It would’ve meant I couldn’t charge my laptop, dslr and camcorder batteries unless I could find a store here that even knows what I’m talking about.

But I’m so pro at finding things. KEKE!
