I have started negotiations for an apartment in Gulshan 2. It is only one street away from Gulshan 2 Cicle where there are lots of shops, cafe's and restuarants, including the DCC 2 Market which has the Aussie Butcher and Swiss Baker shops. It is immediately behind the Egyptian Embassy and also very close to the Netherlands and German Embassies. It is on the 4th floor and has views to Gulshan Lake and over the gardens of the Egyptian Embassy. It is also very close to the Gulshan Ladies Park, and Gulshan Lake, both of which have walking running tracks aaround them, which will be good for taking Benny for walks.
Main Bedroom
Views over Egyptian Embassy
Living area
Bangladesh style kitchen (note there is no stove or oven, just a gas cooker on the bench, this is standard practice)
The following photos are of Gulshan Ladies Park
This is the Gulshan Ladies Club, which was originally estaablished by the wives of diplomats and other expats living in the Gulshan area, which is where almost all of the Embassies and High Commissions are located.
These are the park rules, which I am sure no one follows, although there is security and police in and around the park, making it quite safe to go walking or jogging, unlike in the streets.
Nothing like a cool Ice Cream on a hot afternoon
Various pictures around the laake, Note the beautiful tradional clothing on both the boys and girls. The photo above also shows some kids swimming in the lake (it might be cleaner than other lakes and waterways around Dhaka, but I sure still wouldn't want my kids swimming in it).
Rickshaws gathered aaround the entrance to the park, dropping people off or waiting for a fare.
