Have you been to the longest beach in the world?

Bangladesh is yet to establish itself in the field of tourism, despite the abundance of natural beauty in the land. Many have yet to discover the wonders of Bangladesh, including the longest beach in the world. The beauty that unfolds during sunset is breathtaking and indescribable in words. Have a look at the longest beach in the world, through the lens of local photographers.

This trip would fulfill two of my desires, one being a walk through Geoffrey Bawa's creation, the other being the opportunity to attend a Christian wedding in a foreign count...
