Before coming to Dhaka, I would check the weather and most of the time it would say “Haze”.
At that time I had no idea what it is like, but I am definitely a haze-expert now.
Haze means no sun, no blue sky, no clouds. Just various shades of grey.
It is very intense. Everybody wants to take pictures and they are so sweet, that it is impossible to say no.
