I would like to describe a place where I have been and there was a lot of noise. It was Kulistan in Dhaka city. Last year when I was in Dhaka for job purposes, me and my colleague went there for buy something in low prices because we heard that Kulistan is a place where we can find a lot of collections of cloth in a reasonable price. When we reached Kulistan, I was very surprised because the place was very noisy. The roads were packed with buses, cars, rickshaws and other vehicles. There was a very heavy traffic. All the drivers were honking continuously. There was a lot of noise. Besides that, street vendors were shouting to attract the virus. People were talking and bargaining. That made chaotic situations. At first I felt very stressed and I felt slightly a headache because I am not used to such a noisy environment. I tried to focus on why I was there and reminded myself that it was very temporary. Me and my colleague cracked some jokes and decided to put on our air phones because we can enjoy some music while shopping. The noise was pretty irritating. But now when I remember the event, it was very interesting. I had the opportunity to observe the lively part of Dhaka city. It was a great experience for me.

I tried to focus on why I was there and reminded myself that it was very temporary. My colleague and I cracked some jokes and decided to put on our earphones so we could enjoy some music while shopping. The noise was pretty irritating. But now, when I remember the event, it was very interesting. I had the opportunity to observe the lively part of Dhaka city. It was a great experience for me.
