Bashundhara city mall

This is the second mall I have visited so far and the most impressive one.

Here in the malls the most common shops are clothes/fabrics and gold/jewellery.

There are so many clothing shops and they all sell the same thing — traditional (mostly women) clothing. All the kameez , that long dress that one should wear with pants, and regular dresses are so colourful and different, but at the same time all look the same.

Check it out yourself. And yes, all the personnel in the stores — only men.

Then I checked out the view from one of the side windows. And that is like all Dhaka — full of contrasts.

shopping mallWhen walking around I was invited to join the women’s club. I was so naive and though that it had some social or political idea, but no, in the end I was gives free samples..aha. And btw there are no tampons to be found here! I took a picture with girls anyways, they were super nice!
