So this was truly one of my most blissful days in Dhaka. A group of friends, amazing food, a soft sound system with good tunes. Seriously Bliss. Thank you guys for inviting me first off.
The most pleasant surprise I got at 6am as we were meeting up to board, was that my old friend and musician Gibran is the guide for this boat trip. Already a sense of happiness rushed despite me being crappy for being up so early!
The boat itself is gorgeous, decorated so beautifully. It's a luxury cruise, so isn't inexpensive, but i guarantee it's worth it, if you are looking to escape Dhaka's bustle and pollution for a day, or just visiting Bangladesh and want a luxurious stroll across the rivers.

We had a long elaborate lunch with polau, chicken korma, meatballs, whole fish, shutki, eggplant curry, Bangladeshi salad, and multiple Bhortas.

The main point of the trip is leisure, so we took in the view, listened to music and chilled on our full stomachs. Some of us took naps haha. (ie me)
After we had turned back around and the sun was dimming, we were given afternoon snacks.
Ok close your mouth droolers. Happy Victory Day to Bangladeshis and much love to those who continue to fight for our daily freedom. If you have a moment do check out my music www.armeenmusa.bandcamp.com
Love
Very nice collection.
