Apartment

We are settling into our apartment in Dhaka.  Well, unpacking anyway.

We have a water view!  Granted, the shores of Lake Banani are, perhaps, less-than-pristine, but it affords a cool breeze through our windows.  That's the other side of the lake, by the way.  It's not very wide.

Apartments in Dhaka are generally supplied bare.  There are no ceiling fans, no built-in AC units, no washing machine, no fridge etc.  We were able to purchase the fans and AC units from the previous owners, along with some furniture and a good water filter (very important).  This very nice couple also left a few basic dishes, a drying rack, and generally a few essentials to make our life easier in the first few days (i.e. TP).

We are still quite jet-lagged: we were coherent enough to run errands this morning (with help), but not this evening.  Clear progress!
