点评:In early March I went on the City Tour with Hasan's team and enjoyed it so much that I booked the photography tour as well as the Sonargaon, Old Capital and Island Trip. On all occasions it felt like I was part of the scene, integrating with the people of Dhaka in a very authentic way, enjoying their company and watching the daily activities of this fascinating city. Although I looked like the typical tourist with backpack and camera I never felt worried about my safety. Wandering with my guide Piku through the bazaars and markets was enlightening and so very different from where I live. I was delighted too that when I mentioned that I had found something interesting Piku would quickly offer to take a short detour to another site that he thought might interest me. That's how we came to visit the area for engine restoration and the printing area where we wandered through production plants to watch very old printing presses turn out advertising material. The Island Trip was total immersion into Bangaldesh culture. We met three boys who chatted away about soccer as we toured the community. I stayed in a hotel for the first week and then in an Airbnb. I found it exciting to wander alone around the streets in the late evening, shopping for food and bargaining with street vendors for items such as shirts and shoes. While the country is going through a phase of re-alignment I didn't feel that it was affecting the safety of tourists. On a couple of occasions, when entering a monument or palace, the security guard would take the admission fee and then ask to have a selfie taken with me. At no time did anyone demand money or get angry about being in my pictures. I'd go back again without hesitation.
翻译:三月初,我和哈桑的团队一起参加了城市之旅,非常享受,于是预订了摄影之旅、索纳加翁古都之旅和岛屿之旅。每次都感觉自己融入其中,与达卡人真实地融为一体,享受他们的陪伴,观察这座迷人城市的日常生活。虽然我看起来像个背着背包、拿着相机的普通游客,但我从未担心过自己的安全。和导游皮库一起逛集市和市场,让我大开眼界,而且与我居住的地方截然不同。当我提到发现了一些有趣的东西时,皮库很快就提出带我去另一个他认为我可能感兴趣的地方,这让我很高兴。就这样,我们来到了发动机修复区和印刷区,在生产工厂里漫步,观看古老的印刷机如何生产广告材料。岛屿之旅让我们完全沉浸在孟加拉文化之中。在参观社区时,我们遇到了三个男孩,他们聊着足球。我第一周住在酒店,之后又在Airbnb租房。深夜独自在街上闲逛,买吃的,和摊贩讨价还价,比如衬衫和鞋子,感觉很刺激。虽然国家正在经历重新调整,但我并不觉得这会影响游客的安全。有几次,当我进入纪念碑或宫殿时,保安会收取门票,然后要求和我合影。从来没有人向我索要钱财,也没有人因为我出现在照片里而生气。我会毫不犹豫地再去那里。
