Two ChInsider contacts in the fine art world, if you can track them down, are artists “Juice” (Sahidul Haque, a sculper and mask artist) and his wife Fareha Zeba, a fellow-artist, who often hold art events in their home in Bonanni, and are very well-informed about the local art scene.  Road 25, Hse 34, Block A,Banani, Dhaka.

ChI Drinks…..

OK the deal is that you cannot actually buy alcohol, unless you have a (diplo) passport and use bonded warehouses to source it.

However, if you take out membership of one of the many ex-pat Clubs, you can buy drinks there.

Favourite tipples are beer, wine, spirits – simply because of availability.

Forget cocktails, unless you can access imaginative diplomats who like to party!  (Not a given…)
