Businesscards in Bangladesh

For a number of years the 'Goodmorning Bed & Breakfast', located in Bonani, has been a safe haven for visitors from many different countries. The guesthouse was suppose to be a training facility for young underprivilegde youth in Dhaka, and run by the Vialisa Foundation. However due to sickness of the founder of the foundation, the guesthouse had to close it's doors. An honest attempt to keep the guesthouse alive on a different location, with a legal status and a different management, turned out to be an idealistic, but impossible task.

So I decided to use this website for all you people who are planning to visit Bangladesh and can use some real life information about this city. I hope you find it usefull and if you do, please share and spread the word! We thank the people who have supported us and trusted us to be their host during their stay in crazy Dhaka.

Business cards

Business cards in Bangladesh Bangladeshis are crazy about sharing business cards. Be aware that sharing your business card is a way of protocol. Make sure you have a card at hand. Cards are not only given during formal accasions. You may give your card at any time to anyone!

When to share?
Business cards are mostly shared at the beginning of conversations or meetings, after the first introductions. In Bangladesh academic achievements count, so make sure to put any university degrees on your card.

Respect the cards
Cards should be given and received with your right hand and should be studied carefully before you put them away, preferably in a card holder. Whatever you do, don’t just throw them in a corner or on your desk. Treat the cards with the same respect as you want to treat your business partner.
