Bangladesh - Paharpur - v.g.photo
1. Long walks on the world’s continuously longest beach at Cox’s Bazar, admiring the swimsuits
which cover almost the whole body
2. Before this trip we were told that Bangladesh is a very dangerous country, but nothing bad
happened
3. Local people are very helpful and polite with foreign visitors, while vendors always invited us in
their shop and gave us a seat in the hope that we would make a purchase
4. You can see that people faithfully stick to their culture and traditions
5. Maheshkhali and Teknaf
6. The lively mosques of Dhaka
7. On many occasions locals wanted to take a selfie with us – so funny
8. The goldsmith’s workshops in the old town of Dhaka
9. Interesting to see small, three-wheeled rickshaws piled high with immense burdens, and women
carrying big baskets on their heads
10. The unbelievably colorful rickshaws – we were always delighted to hop into one!

1. All kind of discomfort because of the poor tourist infrastructure (e.g., eating places at the
beaches)
2. The gigantic human crowd is theoretically exciting, but in fact is often a tiresome bother
3. Cox's Bazar Beach is an interesting experience (as mentioned above) but the sand does not have
a nice color and my feet got dirty during the walk
4. The people of Bangladesh typically have gloomy, faintly hopeless expressions – this is one of the
wold’s poorest countries
5. Due to the strict Islamic laws, we had to forego alcohol
6. Outside of the capital, it is hard to find locals who speak English (which is strange, because it is
the second official language there)
7. As white tourists, we had to tolerate a lot of intense stares, and it is not always easy to handle
this level of curiosity
8. Hygene standards at the simple eating places are not high, and on several occasions this spoiled
our appetite
9. A lot of litter, dirt and stink, with little effort to protect environment (very clear that this is not a
priority here) - Dakka is a pile of rubbish
10. Traffic chaos everywhere, though with surprisingly few accidents
