Hello LGs!
I’m not confusing you, I’m telling about 100th meetup of Bangladesh Local guides.
we all don’t have a chance to go Connect Live but we had a chance to go this giant meetup.
it was a full day of knowledge sharing, making new friends and make some good memories with all.
Form a thousand applicants, only around 130 people got the chance to attend this meetup. 130 of people comes from the different city, different Age, different profession but now one thing that same of all, they all are Local Guides. ![]()
I am soo lucky because I am one of them. 130 every single person made different kinda stories from their opinion. now I am telling about stories that I had made on this meetup.
- My journey starts from here. we are waiting for the train and gathering people in one place who was also attending this meetup. we are 3 friends got a chance to attend this meetup. everybody is soo crazy about this meetup that “what’s going next?”
It’s my first time in Chittagong and also a first-time long journey by Train.
on the Train, we were about 65 local guides and when everyone was bored and sleepy, we sang some Bengali folk song to warm up the full compartment of the train. it’s like a first stage ice-breaking game to know more about each other.
when everyone noticed we are 3 friends me, @Zahid_opal and Sabbir juhan is soo crazy about making some fun. that moment, we also got a crazy local guide like us @Mazharul_BDLG who brings a Scarf to make some fun. he also support us for planning some fun activity on the event.- it was 5.30 am when we were reached at Chittagong. New city new environment but everything seems like okay. Everyone preparing for the venue.
