My expat journey





Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Tokyo, T艒ky艒, Japan
Travel the country, went to Japanese language school. Met Japanese hand stitching technique, and realized the value they give to quality workmanship.
Promotion hand stitch fusion fashion to Japanese audience, Have own out late in Funabashi city and online store.
Quality in things and they are cheap. Japanese Culture, friends, and mostly they value our work that we do in Bangladesh.
Language difficulties; so far I am still behind with mastering Japanese language can?t have intellectual conversation with local. English and Japanese language made us isolated in some extant.

Tangalla, Southern, Sri Lanka
Study Gemmology for Gemstone trade.
I was a student at The Colombo Gemmology association centre.
My Uncle?s beach house at ?The Turtle reach?. It was positioned on a lagoon in Tangalla. Elephants in near sanctuary, Monkey are running around and stealing food from the roof, Sea Turtles, Peacocks etc are nearby.
Great food, but not as good as Thai though.
Bad memories; loosing friends and family member, lost the house in Tsunami and valuables for business. And Medical facility wasn't adequate to Australian standard; I think I am spiled living in Down Under.

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
It is my home. I grow up in Sydney.
Post graduate at MIB from The University of Sydney.
During school; my first job was at MacDonald?s, worked at The Park Hyatt, Flight attendance with Qantas, Worked with Bangladesh community in N.S.W., Tour guide in North Australia, went to gemmology training institutes in Colombo, Sri Lanka, survived with Injured in Boxing day Tsunami 2004. After 3 months in Hospital, I decided to engage myself in to social development project in Sri lanka; but for Visa complication changed the destination in to Bangladesh.
Return to Australia and sold valuables and enrolled to do farther study at The University of Sydney 2005-2009. I like entrepreneurship, in line with International Study; I hope it can be useful in Bangladesh.
Embedded Sentiment in me;
It gives me Goosebumps every time I hear ?waltzing Matilda? and away from Australia farther I travel it brings tears.
My first dating, study life, surfing in Bondi Beach, Riding around Hunter Valley, sailing and fishing around Sydney harbour and northern beach. Made me stronger and gave me opportunities that otherwise wouldn?t have.
At school I was small in size compare to most of my friends, initially had identity crises. Boring food, one stage, when most of my immediate family member settled in other countries or passed away, Distance ( in Australia) I felt alone.
