thanks for the reply...it was noise making me crazy,now i got used to it..i guess :) after finding some restaurants,cafes to hang out :) i feel better now..

I feel like that when I'm in Dhaka as well.. plus the heat is unbearable this time of year :( Which part of Dhaka are u staying? There tends to be more to do in Gulshan, Banani and Dhanmondi (but the last is v.v.crowded)..

I could think of the following things to do...make friends with some locals ( bengalese are usually friendly and hospitable), read a good book, go for a walk in one of the parks ( when its dark it can be dangerous with mugging incidents), watch a good movie and go out travelling during weekends to areas like chittagong, cox bazar, etc..
