Entry from: Dhaka, Bangladesh
Entry Title: "From cloths to clay, we purchased everything!"
Entry:
"From cloths to clay article, we purchased everything! I assume, we visited almost all market places in Dhaka - International Trade Fare, Aarong, New Market, Banga Market, Dhaka University Street, Grameen Check outlet in Grameen Bank Complex, Mirpur Market apart from our Hotels Super Market. Everybody purchased sarees (Zamdhani / Tangail), shirts, Kurta, cotton & silk dresses material, jewellery, decoration items, mementos, clay articles, jute articles, Chinese mementos, fruit packs, key chains, dolls, chappals, etc. Shopping was a nice thing to do everyday evening after a long & exhaustive day. Everybody wanted to roam in streets instead of watching TV (or doing work!) and we were on the streets and shopping markets of Dhaka almost all the days. I found that shopping at Bangladesh is fairly expensive. However, everyone enjoyed it and made most of it by spending most of their Taka currency. The team found that Aarong is an excellent place for quality ethnic goods. Aarong is a BRAC enterprise and it has 8 outlets in Dhaka apart from other major cities in Bangladesh. They have an outlet in London also. We visited 2 outlets of Aarong and we found that Aarong- Gulshan is a must visit place. New Market is another big market where every item is available. Some members of our team purchased expensive Zamdhani sarees from this market. This place was visited twice. We found very attractive and variety of clay articles in a street near Dhaka University. We visited this place twice. I have added few photographs on our shopping discovery."
