City Rumble – Seville versus Dhaka
The second quarter final is here, and it's Seville of Spain and Dhaka of Bangladesh. The winner will be a real smokey, the loser goes home!
City Rumble – Dushanbe Versus Dhaka!
Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, a city with a bit of modernism about it, a bit of the ancient, and a bit of Russification courtesy of the years spent as a member state of the Soviet Union. The opponent? Well, it's Dhaka, the Bangladeshi capital.
City Rumble – Kolkata versus Dhaka
Howdy all, and it’s time for another face off between two opposing cities. Both in the Bengal area, but in different neighbouring countries, we have the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka facing off with the city that put Mother Theresa on the map, the city formerly known as Calcutta, Kolkata. Kolkata sits in the eastern part of …
City Rumble – Dakar versus Dhaka
I know what you’re thinking. Andrew is doing this city rumble simply because the names are so similar. And you’re pretty much right! It was 2004 that I set out to cross by land (as much as was reasonable) from Dhaka, in Bangladesh, to Dakar, in Senegal. It was a journey I sort of changed …
Dhaka Daze – Study Tour of Bangladesh Part Four

Study Tour to Bangladesh – Part One
Two Thousand and Two. Yep, it was a long time ago. My university offered a subject where the students actually went to Bangladesh for a three week study tour to study International Development in Bangladesh. Don’t panic Australian taxpayers – we had to fork the money out ourselves! And it turned out to be an …
First Taste – Dhaka, Bangladesh
Okay so to be honest, I’ve only been like four places in Bangladesh and by far the most time I’ve spent there has been in the chaotic capital of Dhaka. It’s a world of its own, a place of fond memories and bad memories (nearly died of anaphylactic shock here), a place where they have …
Travel and Hospitals Part One – Introduction and Dhaka
Time for something a little bit different. You know they say that if you can’t afford travel insurance, then you can’t afford to travel. And the biggest reason for that is medical emergencies. Since my first solo trip in 1999 I have had my fair share of hospital visits whilst travelling. I’ve had malaria, severe …
