Jen and Anthony's Holiday to Asia and The Middle East

Bangladesh

17 June to 2 July, 2000

We flew into Bangladesh where we spent about 2 weeks. We stayed with our friend's (Atif Rahman) family. They met us at the airport and we visited their relatives all around the country.

The first thing we discovered was how friendly the people were. The second thing was how good the food was. We spent most of our time in Dhaka but also visited Cox's Bazaar (712km beach), Rangamati (lake area), Chittagong (where we got caught in a flood), and Jaflong (with lots of tea gardens).
