In the small East African country of Uganda, a Bangladeshi will be pleasantly surprised to find the “Bangla House”.
The reddish earthen roads that lead towards it also reminds one of their village in Gazipur, Narsingdi or Sylhet; also, when a Ugandan man asks "Kemon Achen" (how are you?) when they hear that you are from Bangladesh, one can't help but feel a sense of familiarity, a shared bond.
For Bangladeshis, this home away from home, located some 6,700 kilometres far away, helps keep away the feelings of homesickness.
