| 27th November 2009 Pamela Eachus | Valuable Insight - From: the common and bizarre at Cox's Bazar Thank you so much for posting this article about your journey! I'm going to be in Dhaka / Cox's Bazar for a week and have never been to India, so had no idea what to expect. Your honest review has really helped me! Still looking forward to my trip! Best, Pam |
| 23rd October 2009 Catherine V. | Oh so true! - From: 25 great things about living in Dhaka Hello, This is all so true! (except number 9 in my case!) I've been in Dhaka 5 years and still love it! I don't do much, but these little things you mentionned do make a difference! Take care, CV |

| 14th September 2009 claire b | - From: 25 great things about living in Dhaka I'm not sure if you can get a massage in Dhaka because you're a man; it's not usual in the culture. However a salon called 'Avera', which is in Baridhara, off one of the roads near Park Road may do it. |

| 29th April 2009 ashique | - From: 25 great things about living in Dhaka I have visited Riyadh, Jeddah, Hong Kong, Darjileeng, Seoul, Kathmundu, but believe me, Dhaka attracts me like a magnet. The pure, undefiled charming culture present there is a rare thing in the rich capitalist worlds. |
| 30th September 2008 Bangladesh Corporate Blog | Branding Srimongol, branding the tea - From: sunny Srimongol We hope the brand gurus of the country will take measures to brand such locally unique products of Bangladesh. Why does it always have to be the case that our foreigner friends discover what we have and then we jump into the bandwagon of brand jargons et al. |
| 28th June 2008 Nayeem | Nice to know.. - From: 25 great things about living in Dhaka I feel it's pretty amazing that I am learning about my own city and country from a foreigner who has been there for only a few weeks. I was born in Dhaka and stayed the first 18 years of my life before moving to US..I found your blog while randomly searching for Dhaka. It's nice to know that you have found things outside of the usual poverty that most foreigners pick on after going there.. Infact I am in Bangalore, India for work and have not even ventured out of the hotel over weekend, as I am scared of the awful traffic and crime. So it's hard to imagine a white girl roaming around freely in Dhaka! Keep up your posts, hope to learn more interesting facts in future aswell.. |
| 15th March 2008 Thomas McElroy | Nice Blog - From: row, row, row your boat... I have always been fascinated with countries off the beaten track. Bangladesh being one of those countries. I must say you are a brave woman |
| 14th March 2008 anonymous | - From: 10 days in Bangladesh Everything you wrote here is so correct. But Bangladesh rules.I think! |
| 9th February 2008 Charlie in China | Grand adventure - From: Christmas in Kathmandu I agree that you don't have to live in a ditch to justify writing a blog. Most of your friends are probably still living where they were born...you're out and about and that is worthy of writing about. By the way, I saw your profile and can say with confidence that you're from Manchester. When people ask where you're from, they don't mean 'Where have you been/lived?' They mean, 'Where are you from?' I'm from New York, though I've lived there fewer years than most other places I've lived. |
| 3rd December 2007 Samuel | - From: xin nian kuai le (Happy New Year)! It's a really good test book for me to learn how to introduce Mahjong to others in English. And u see,there are hundreds of ways to play MJ. I know the way u talked about. We call it "international Mahjong". And the one we play in Chengdu,is much easier for beginners. |
| 3rd December 2007 Samuel | - From: summer in Sichuan The charactors on the bamboo,means "someone paid a visit here", which to show his arrival. It's bad ,right?! But why Chinese people like to do so? there was a stoy. Do u know that monkey, magic,all-round monkey. He used to write such words on Buhda's fingers. I couldn't say every Chinese but most, want to be that monkey fiied with magic. So... hehe! |
| 24th October 2007 Nicola | Dhaka - From: 10 days in Bangladesh I have been to Dhaka a couple of times and I thought your blog really captured how it feels as a Western woman visiting Dhaka. |
| 8th October 2007 Doug and Bec | Fellow Dhaka travel blogger - From: row, row, row your boat... Hi Claire, I teach with your mum at ISD and will also be going with you on the Sundarbans trip!
