PDA in Bangladesh


Just had to share a funny statement from a menu at a fairly posh (in relative terms) cafe I went to today...

PDA (public displays of affection) are a big no-no here, and in a country where arranged marriages are the norm, boyfriends and girlfriends have to be very discreet. With exception, it seems, are particular areas, such as at Dhaka University and around the lake in Dhanmondi, where couples are snuggled up everywhere!!
This particular cafe seems to have students as their main clientele - and is set up for couples (only tables for two) - but I guess they don't want any funny business such as (heaven forbid) holding hands or kissing on their premises!
