Dhaka Delights.....

On my work travels again...

so i went to bangladesh a few weeks ago, on a work trip.

i was there to follow up on our factories and samples we had put into work.

on the way to the factory i got to see some of the real Bangladesh

it was my first time in bangladesh and i have to say it was a real eye opener but also very interesting and i did learn a hell of a lot.

transportation in Dhaka, a tuk tuk and a service bus!! 

Most of my trip was spent in boiling hot factories or working until very very late in the office, not glamourous at all, but i was there to do a job and i managed to get a lot done so it was all worth it.

as i was there over the weekend i did manage to get to see some of bangladesh on the saturday with the help of an office guide, it would have been much too unsafe to go out alone.

the weaving of cotton is the beginning of the denim making process, it then goes on to be dyed and machine woven

we ate some scrumptious ice-cream and dined at Nandos!! i couldn't believe i had actually found a Nandos in Dhaka!! 

i learned so much about the weaving and dying of fabrics, i came home armed with so much new knowledge and a fresh design outlook so it was a successful trip all around.

the outcome of dying denim in one reel

the flight was VERY eventful and not something i wish to encounter ever again, there was a huge fight, men smoking on the plain openly, and a generous lapdance from a 80year old man to give you just a little insight!! YAK!!

me at the english club, a good shandy and pie was just what the doctor ordered!!

So that is where i have been my dears, 

much more to come
