The people living there are kinda weirdoz. Even though not wearing ur swimming suite; just sitting on the beach with ur cloth on, there are douzens of people looking at the white guy. Have never been on a beach holiday at such a weird place before in this world. But it was interesting. Will not go again ;) Its a pitty, Bangladesh could make lots of money on foreign tourist. In other muslim countries its possible too (Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia) The beach at Cox’s is beautiful. The people living there are kinda weirdoz.

It depends who comes and what kind of transport I'll need to arrange for the attendees. <strong>I need to get your confirmation by Wednesday morning please. </strong> The plan is below.

Dinner: TBA 2130pm: Depart for Dhaka <strong>16 Sept, Sunday:</strong> 0630am: Arrive Dhaka, have transport waiting to take us all back to where we need to go... or straight to work as the case may be.. Price: 3,000 Tk Maximum group size: 8 Already confirmed: Mikey, Bel, Julie What's included: 1) Two breakfasts, two lunches 2) Transfer from BAGHA on Thursday, bus tickets and a ride home on the way back 3) A mattress on Lindy's floor -- a big shout out to Lindy for volunteering her flat for two nights while she's out of town! What's not included: 1) Dinners and alcohol, although I am happy to arrange either for you within reason if you don't have time 2) Moheshkhali Day Trip -- up to you if you want to go or if you prefer just chilling on the beach, cool, will find out price later..
