Not many tourists

We didn't see many other tourists in Bangladesh. And judging by the friendliness and curosity of Bangladeshi's, neither had they. We did see a few foreigners who were there for work or study, mainly around the suburb we stay in Dhaka that contained the embassies (Gulshan). Three of us managed to visit the Australia club next to the Australian embassy. Inside a high brick wall there was a nice pool and a bar - a unique site in Bangladesh in which pubs/alcohol is illegal. It was quite a nice area but it the contrast to outside it's walls was a little unsettling.
