6月15日 Trip to DhakaIt was a new experience for me to travel and come back to Sri Lanka. My mission was to meet my customers in Bangladesh - here we go !!!
I've started a journey which lasted 12hour flight with a 4hour transit in Singapore Changi Airport. Amazingly I've took a tube of hair gel which was suppose to remove from the airport officials which wasn't the case this time. Yes they detected in Singapore but never thought a handsome guy will take something like that and let me go - lol - And they say it's one of the most secured airports in Asia.
Flight to Dhaka were smooth but I must say on my way to Dhaka Bangladesh, I've took Singapore airlines as I believe it's more secure & looking at a Singaporean chick is better than a local plane like Sri Lankan Airlines or Biman Airlines with old chicks serving a piece of bread and butter. But the pilots were shaking the passenger A$$'s when landing and it was so awful and scary.
Dhaka (capital of Bangladesh) International Airport is very small and very manual. It seems politicians and people with power got ahead of the queue whenever they wanted in immigrations. On the way out of the airport it's was a never seen picture with so much noise and dirt in Bangladesh. My driver from the hotel wasn't there and I had to call the hotel get the number and call him. Unfortunately he couldn't speak in English and he was in-front of the gate. Thanks to a forces man who spoke in Bangali and helped me.
I got a red carpet when I enter the hotel and it was a suite which I never expected. Well, after I entered the room I was thinking how much will this cost me :) Due to my body not excepting the pressure and yeah I am old now so had to crash without a bath.
Day 1 (Sunday - they work on Sundays) 7AM I got knocked by a man who wish to polish my shoes. Well, I thanked him and send him back as I got a shoe polish in my bag. Went to my office in Bangladesh and met the cool dudes who were struggling with the seating as a renovation of the office being carried out at this time. Intermitted disconnection of the internet pissed me off as I am used to grand slam service in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Next were my friendly people in Grameen Phone IT team. Believe me I had 4 meetings with officials from top to bottom.
Day 2 Went directly to another customer and it's a bank. This time in a 3wheeler where the driver is crazy as a mad dog who drives like Formula III driver. Ohh man but yet I am up to the game as I am used to the same skill sets of Sri Lankan drivers. Amazingly Bank IT smokes in-side the premises. From a quality discussion back to the main phone company for an orientation. Guess the ride is 2 hours - pure traffic Strangely, my ex-fellowman was taking the cream out of the customer ripping from whatever he could. Customer was humble to say they didn't know and my explanation drove them to call me a honourst/cool man.
Day 3 Another telecom company with presence in Pakistan. Good discussion and went very well. I've promised some and yes already delivered. Went back on a trick show for the first time in my life - it was a very good experience. The man charged me double and I was ver brave to fight back with signs and signals to pay me back for a cheap price - lol Went to another telephone operator for a breife intro which went well with a follow-up and it seems I was good in marketing & selling too. Finally gave an intro to my company staff in Bangladesh and had a full meal before going to Dhaka International Airport with a friend who I wont remember. Anwer man with a good heart.
Finally, I've landed after 8 hours in Colombo - what a trip full of meetings and updates (some friendly fights too)
