I’m a journalist living in the Bangladeshi capital. I’ve been here since September 2007, working for the BBC. I want to put down in this blog things which wouldn’t necessarily make the news, but I think are interesting. I’ve never kept a diary before, but I reckon that this is a good time, and Dhaka a great place, to start.
Here is a bit more information about me.

Well I never, me jolly old journalist brother of mine. A blog indeed. A good idea as it is probably better for me to read your diary than the emails, which I must admit I am not that good at reading and replying to, so indeed it is a good time (as you quote).
Unfortunately I don’t have a blog, which is probably a good thing as I would keep it updated for about a week then ignore it for ever, and neither Slough nor London is as attractive as Dhaka.
So, keep up with the stories etc, and I’ll see you when you are over here, which is shortly, as I remember.

Just thought I’d add my good wishes. You’re doing a great job out there in Dhaka, Mark. We back home all love hearing your broadcasts and feel very proud to be related to you.
I have just started a blog of my own and you and Cassie are mentioned in the very first post. You can check it out on http://www.we-love-magic.co.uk/blog/blog.html.
