Sports and TV shows

As you might have noticed, I haven't been posting on a regular basis in my blog. The main reason for that is because I want this blog to be a depository of information so when someone wants to take the same giant leap as me and move to Bangladesh, they would at least have some idea of what they are getting into. Another reason is that I want this blog to be about Bangladesh and my experience in Bangladesh. Since I am not there yet, all I have are a ton of questions, and no real answers, and I won't really have those answers until I am there myself. So, the regular updates would have to wait until I get to Dhaka.

I've read quite a few blogs that have given me a sense of how things are in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I kind of know what to expect when I am there. For instance, one of the blogs I was reading the other day was talking about following football scores online in Bangladesh. It's one of my favorite blogs because the writer is just so meticulously thorough about every little detail you feel like you are there with him. When I can find a link to that particular blog post, I'll share it with you all. Anyway, the point I was trying to get at is I love football and when I say football, I mean football of the NFL variety, not soccer. I am surprised that not a single blog about Dhaka or Bangladesh in general mentions watching football games. Is it because none of the games are aired over there? Are they, perhaps, available only on pay-per-view channels? Someone please shed some light on this. Also, what about the NBA? The NBA finals will start around the same time I move to Dhaka, and I'd like to be able to watch them, if possible.

I don't watch much TV. I watch football and basketball games, and watch a handful of shows (but usually only if they are on when I happen to turn the TV on). I really only watch Entourage, How I Met Your Mother, South Park, Man vs Wild and No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain. I told you I only watch a handful of shows. See?

Are any of these shows aired over there? Do any of you watch TV when you are in Bangladesh? You know, for all the different things I've read people blogging about, TV shows in Bangladesh are completely ignored. I have no idea why. Is it because everyone is too busy to watch TV, or is it because the shows there are crappy? Or maybe it's because most expats aren't familiar with their TV shows. I have no clue, but I promise I will post about my experience when I am in Bangladesh.


Oh yeah, one last question before I sign off, and this one's completely unrelated to football or basketball or TV shows. The question is about blogging etiquette. I've added a bunch of Bangladesh blogs to my list of favorites, and whenever they are updated, I get a notification. Usually, I'd read them and comment, but now, I am not so sure if that's proper blogging etiquette. For instance, I just noticed that I am the only person to comment in like two consecutive posts in a blog; there's a new post and I want to comment on it, but I am not sure if that's appropriate blogging protocol. So, what do you all think? I have a feeling I am overthinking this, but since I am new to the world of blogging, I'd rather overthink a minor problem than cross a boundary I'm not supposed to. Know what I mean?
