Lived in Australia...visited NZ - NZ is the more beautiful country in terms of scenery and the outdoors. Simply breathtaking - and that's saying something, because Australia has some brilliant spots.

I'm trying to pretend like I'm shocked :lol:

If only the US and UK hadn't worked to depose the democratically elected leftist government in 1953 - paving the path for the autocratic Shah to take control...which of course laid the seeds to the Islamic revolution. If they US and UK had left things alone...we might have a very different Iran...

It is without doubt expensive - then again, I'm guessing some of that is because, it's the Japanese. I bet the Chinese would have priced the entire $4bil project at least $500mil less. - We equate Japan with 1st class quality...you gotta pay extra for that quality. The reason for the high...

My bad - I was looking at last years report 2015-2016 We've probably gotten worse, because the 2015-2016 - doesn't include Holey Artisan attack. Then again, it obviously didn't get that much worse, since we didn't jump from 22 to 17 :woot: EDIT: France is 35, China 22 and Bangladesh doesn't...

We're number 22. China is 23.

Islam as it always has been is fine. Unfortunately those who practice the religion - us as muslims are not so fine. The peaceful, forgiving and compassionate side of our faith has been forced to take a backseat :(

Because EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE knows this is what you'd expect to happen in KSA. The country thinks women driving alone is going to set back Islam...How do you expect it to treat transgenders? I know it sounds like blaming the victim - but, it's not.

No it wasn't. There is a history of excellence when it comes to Iranian cinema. Asghar Farhadi won a Best Film award in 2012 also...so, this wasn't some ham fisted win to prove a point. Not to mention, Children of Heaven (a superb film) was also nominated in 1998.

in what utopian delusion did these people think Saudi Arabia was a safe destination for them???

cost & would they even sell to Bangladesh and with what strings?

It says - there has to be 3 international operators.

Someone help me out...why do people think, these won't be brand new - it's spelled out specifically in the tender 59. Date of Manufacture. The offered aircraft must be brand new and the date of manufacture of the aircraft, engine, all major equipment, avionics and communication system are not...

- 8 with the option for an additional 4 aircrafts. - Delivery in 2 batches - 2nd batch within 24 months of 1st. - Aircraft must be brand new and manufactured this year. Would have been nice to see 12 with an option for an additional 4. Oh well...

soft target...media notoriety and crucially - it scares away foreigners from Bangladesh...be they individuals or organizations. After all, after the Gulshan attack, JICA essentially closed up shop for 7-8 months. A lot of work had to be done to convince them to come back and that things were safe.

No way in hell is that letter real. That barely meets normal cordial standards...let alone diplomatic standards.

10 year old me on a local traditional boat in the middle of a lake

It's not going to happen - Car owners when they don't have their cars....use CNG's and recently Uber. The vast majority of these people will simply not get in a bus, no matter how good the service is. As for people who talk about Rickshaws - the roads with the worst jams in Dhaka city, don't...

That would make some sense. Russians have always backed Serbia.

114th...I wonder what the hold up was? And why haven't the remaining OIC members done it yet? We had a certain loyalty to the old Yugoslavia...but nothing for present day Serbia.
