Where is the guesthouse?

Goodmorning Bed & BreakfastFor 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.


Hierarchy

Hierarchy in BangladeshIt’s very clear that Bangladesh is a very hierarchical society. People are respected because of their position in the family, the company or in general and because of their age. If a person is older than you, he is seen as wiser and granted respect.

In Bangladesh the most senior person in a group, is expected to make decision in the best interest of the group. This can be the family or the company, or in many cases: a combination of both, since it is very common that businesses are family owned/run.
