our guide advised it was too dangerous and the local govt would not let us visit the ship breaking yards in Chittagong.

Wow, I didn't know that... Very interesting because we always suggest tourists to visit Chittagong and Cox's Bazar sea beach, Teknaf, including Saint Martin...I am glad you visited the Hill Tracks area, though, it is amazing...

Where are you living now?

I used to live in Kharkiv, Ukraine, but now I have been staying in the Netherlands for around 3 years...
