After a nine-year gap, I fly into Dhaka, Bangladesh’s chaotic and colourful capital – I even stay in the same hotel: La Vinci Hotel. After checking in, I sample a can of Hunter’s Lager, with its suspiciously Foster’s like can design.
The next morning, I head off outside to wander Kawran Bazaar, Dhaka’s largest wholesale market. Then Rocky from http://www.cholobangladeshtours.com/ picks me and we head out on a rip-roaring tour of the city. We see:
1. Karwan Bazaar
2. Parliament Building
3. Martyr Monument
4. National Mosque
5. Driving through the Old Town
6. Boat ride on River Sadarghat
7. Pink Palace
8. Biscuit Shop
9. Dhaka University
10. Local food restaurant
11. Car Accident monument
12. Lalbagh Fort
13. Dhakeshwari Hindu Temple
