A cricket match in Dhaka



Farhan and I were invited along today to watch our customer play cricket against one of their suppliers here. This was a great opportunity to socialise with the people we work with. Unfortunately the result didn't look like it was going the way our hosts had hoped.

Whilst sitting in the sun watching the match, I switched on my phone and despite being way away from buildings found I had several wireless access points available to me. So I connected to GMaps and could see exactly where I was in the city.

It was a good match - 20/20 - Vyellatex 142 to Tesco's 99.

Here's a bit of action from the game.





We had a boxed Biryani for lunch, which was eaten with fingers. I've never quite managed to get to grips with eating rice with my fingers. So much of it ended up on the floor.



Some street kids came over the fence when we finished. They had bags to collect anything they could sell for recycling. They packed the cardboard, bottles and plastic into separate bags and were shooed away by the security staff!
