Your holiday starts here: Discover the escape you’ve been waiting for

Some of us think vacation starts when you land in a foreign country, connect to the Wi-Fi there, and immediately announce your arrival by sending blurry airport selfies to six different group chats. The truth is far less glamorous.

The furry anarchists of Dhaka

Ever noticed how every neighbourhood in Dhaka seems to have one thing in common? Wherever you go in this city, you’re almost always bound to run into a cat. Not the pampered ones with collars, nor the Instagram-ready breeds. I mean the real, streetwise Dhaka cats.

Dhaka in motion: Views from a Metro Ride
