Ladies who...

I realised that I have a lot of sport buddies and crafting buddies who wanted to do more activities together, but we weren't good at organizing trips out and getting emails and phone numbers, so a couple of months ago I created a closed Facebook group here in Dhaka called Ladies who....

Ladies who...
lunch
meet up to go on trips
support each other

we've been on a few trips together (before) and since and I thought it might be nice to record some of it for posterity..even with shonky phone camera shots taken in poor light.  Some of these trips I've blogged about, and others not.

We have been super busy lately for two reasons, firstly we were all feeling cooped up after the hartal-packed year, and secondly after April the humidity increases so much as to make field trips rather a sweaty affair.

- I've also missed joining a lunch and a trip to a Quilt producer

so I now have an extended circle of friends, and have got to know several casual acquaintances a deal better.  Shopping trips and lunches may be a stereotypical view of how expat ladies spend their time, but rather than fight it - we choose to embrace it!
