I returned to the country that nearly killed me a few years ago to give it a second chance, would I regret the decision? Well I flew here to find out if maybe it was a bit more calmer this time and not as chaotic but I soon realised this was not the case! Welcome to Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh!

Thank you for sharing your perspective on Bangladesh. While it's true that every country has its own challenges, it's important to approach these discussions with empathy and accuracy. Bangladesh, like any other nation, has its unique strengths and struggles. It's worth noting that not everyone in this world is expected to speak English, and it's essential to respect and appreciate the diverse languages and cultures across the globe. Additionally, it's important to remember that despite the chaos, Dhaka has some decent places to eat. While affordability might be an issue for some individuals, it's crucial to acknowledge that everyone's financial situation is unique and personal. It would be great if, in future posts, you could provide a more balanced view, showcasing both the challenges and the positive aspects of Bangladesh. This will not only help in promoting understanding but also contribute to a more inclusive representation of Bangladesh and its people. Let's strive for accuracy, respect, and appreciation when discussing different cultures and countries. Thank you.

What you said is so true - you get to a new place and just drink in the sights and sounds (and smells), but after about two hours in developing countries it becomes more stressful than pleasurable. The novelty quickly wears off and you are left with the reality. I've done a lot of solo travelling over the past fifty years and visited over 60 countries, but I'm too old and knackered now to put up with the hardship and deprivation, and too poor to be able to travel in Business class and stay in four and five star hotels (I'm 6ft 4ins tall so long haul airline economy class is no longer something I am prepared to endure). But hey, I still get vicarious pleasure from watching you young'uns visit these places and I don't have to smell what you smell, nor put up with the oppressive heat and humidity. And the unremitting cacophony. As for strangers'' bowel movements smeared all over your shoes and trousers, I would probably just saw my legs off from the knee down. Safe travels Ben!

When you are in Bangladesh, do not eat street food except coconut and peanuts (that are still inside the shells). It is important to avoid going to small roadside restaurants. These are the places where you get food poisoning bacteria from. The pink chicken was not raw chicken, that was actually blood in it - although I am not sure what you meant by pink chicken. I think you ingested the bacteria from some other source like street food or small food shops. I hope this will be a much more enjoyable and safe time in Bangladesh.

Glad to see you're giving Bangladesh another chance ! I got food poisoned twice in bangladesh, the second time I was projectile vomiting and going for a no.2 every few minutes. Aprocin for a week followed by ORSaline and nothing but bananas and boiled plain rice help me recover after a week. But my immune system taking a hammering like that triggered other underlying issues that I had. I'm still going back next year though ! other than that it's an amazing place. I just got to be careful about eating in excess, eat to survive over there and be very picky.

Glad you gave it another chance. Bangladesh seems like a blast to go to. Cox Bazaar seems to be the funnest. Hope you didn't get as sick as last time. Even my friends , from Bangladesh, get sick when they go back. Don't eat street food is what I'm told. Is that the same guide as the other Ben had? 😂 Its the same place.

where ships come to die is Chittagong. various ship breaking yards scattered around there and that's where the really massive ships are broken down. it's because the yards there have access to the ocean. those cannot come to shadarghat due to the depth requirement. shadarghat ship breaking is more for smaller boats and ferries.

Props to you Ben, everyday life, working environments & travel conditions is not easy for many people in the world - a lot of people just don't know. Bengal was one of the richest places in the world before the British Empire drained it & starved the people along with the rest of South Asia & global south - the effects of that still reverberate today. Importantly you recognise the huge hearts of Bangladeshi people ❤
