Journey to an Unknown Land

1 2 Next

It all started a decade ago. One of my friends asked me to send a copy of my CV to a company in an oversees country. I did that and accomplished a telephone interview successfully in few days. A journey to an unknown land began in a new year.

Life was not terribly bad in Dhaka as a Software Engineer. The software industry in Bangladesh was in the infant stage at that time and was aiming for boom. My income was distinguishably over the average and daily life was pretty cool with regular Adda among friends. Parents were just 2-3 hours of travelling distance and some family members could be reach in few minutes.

My assignments at the job were very unique experience. Still like others in the developing countries, I was eager to move to some developed countries, partly to achieve more professional challenges and partly to earn more. There are rarely few people in these countries who are not touched by the colorful life of developed world as seen in Hollywood movies.

The journey took place on 14th January, 2010. The first step in the unknown land on January 15 was a shock. The minus temperate was an unbelievable experience in the life. The 200 km trip by car was terribly beautiful. The highway looked like a dream and the roadside cities were organized and  disciplined comparable to those  only found in fairytale.


It was a dream come true!!!
