However, this time the trip isn’t just going out of town somewhere. Neither is it a trip to Bangladesh. For the first time this centuary I am taking a trip as a vacation. New places. New scenary and hopefully a ton of pictures.

The whole thing starts this Saturday so as you might have guessed the countdown that has begun a while back still continues. The trip starts off at Istanbul and goes through Cyprus and then finally London. Fine, I’m going to London to meet people I haven’t met in a while. It has nothing to do with sight seeing, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t do any… may be. Only time will tell :)

Luckily my sister has managed to score a Bluetooth Dongle so I can finally post all those pictures that I have been filling up my phone with. Here are a few things that are around Dhaka that has little or nothing to do with the original franchise.

Macy's

And then there are the ones which are actually originals and are true to the chain.

Ok fine, the last image is a big blurry but it was pouring out there so I couldn’t really get a good shot. But you can see Colonel General don’t you?

And finally I just have to point this out since I didn’t know about Cyprus befure I met my friend from there at GATech. So here’s to Alper whose country is now a top educational destination in Bangladesh (apparently).
