Dhaka International Trade Fair 2009

Yesterday (16 February 2009, Friday), I visited Dhaka International Trade Fair 2009 with my family members. We stayed there for about 3 hours and shopped few items including a toy and a cap for my little son.

This year's arrangement is a bit better than last year. Introduction of a Child Care Center is a adorable step. Although there was no sitting arrangement inside the Child Care center and the floor was so dirty. Still it's a step worth praise. We always need to think about our children and mothers.

There was arrangement to watch Bangladesh-Sri Lanka cricket match inside the fair compound which is amazing. Unfortunately Bangladesh lost the match.

On last year I objection regarding sound volume of advertisements inside the fair (see Dhaka International Trade Fair 2008). This year it's a bit soothing. Sound volume still should be lowered. Broadcasting annoying advertisements is not purpose of the fair.

On last year, my another disappointment was with quality of food. This year it's a little better though. Thanks to the Star Kebab (although I have heard that they aren't genuine Star Kebab of Dhanmondi).

Dhaka International Trade Fair

On last Saturday I visited Dhaka International Trade Fair 2008 with my family members. This is the first time I visited the fair.

It's a nice fair. The stalls are well decorated.

But volume of the microphones broadcasting announcements and advertisements was a bit loud.

Price of food items in the restaurant where we took lunch was very high while quality was very poor. They told the price is approved by the authority. I think it's quite high as compared to its quality.

I hope Dhaka International Trade Fair will help promoting exporting good or Bangladesh.
