There are TWO GULSHANs in Dhaka, Bangladesh 🇧🇩

I heard about the MODERN bangladesh, but I didn't realize there is a Gulshan 1 and Gulshan 2. I was amazed to explore both Gulshan areas and see how they are different from the rest of Dhaka. I still can't believe the level of hospitality every where I go in Bangladesh!

The rickshaw puller, when he picked you up, he asked for 100tk=1$, but after he dropped off, you asked him to 100tk 200tk, and eventually, you paid 500tk.

[@WhereisBrad]

Haha wow thank you!

Man, these are the kind of adventures that get me stoked. Excited for more videos, Brad!

Mr Brad welcome to Bangladesh and thanks for your visit in Bangladesh i really appreciate that people like u nowadays Very often comes to visit Dhaka Bangladesh😊 8 days ago i saw your first vdo n i was waited for this Gulshan part but unfortunately you missed some good sites to see and record in Gulshan banani area and whoever u talked mostly they don't know English except the guy paid for fried rice, why dont you taking any local assistant to guide you so you could have done very good vdo if you ask for assistance im sure many people will be ready to Assist you without any payment,and before you talked someone u must understand they understand and speak English or not I noticed mostly you tallked to those people who don't know English so before you start talking someone make sure you find the right one who knows english to communicate u,and the best part is you didn't forget to buy something for your mom I'm pretty sure your mom will be so happy to have that pearl jewellery😊 Best wishes, watching from Paris France

[@WhereisBrad]

This is actually a very good idea. I may try this in future videos. Sometimes I get lucky and someone will help me out, other times not so much but I like to just go and see what happens, raw and organic. Thanks for the very nice comment!!

[@user-pq9dh7cb3m]

That's what i was thinking!! It's undoubtedly a great idea.

[@mahirjawadkhan3451]

Brad you're doing great bruh! Keep up the good work. I know language barrier sucks big time man! I feel sorry for you. Hope you get used to it.

[@WhereisBrad]

Haha thank you!🙏

[@zarsblackhorse123]

You can't expect everyone to understand English. You need to learn Bangla a little bit or you can use google translator English to Bangla voice translation. or Bangla to English as well. Enjoy your visit!

[@WhereisBrad]

Ya, this was kind of a last minute trip for me so I didn’t prepare well at all. Chitoi pitha got it thank you 🙏🥰

[@LiveCustoms]

I saw Chris video where he got ill from the trip, did you manage to avoid any serious issues with food, etc?

[@WhereisBrad]

I experimented with street food more and more. At first I was only eating little bits, but I eventually was eating from multiples places and eating full meals. So far I haven’t had any problems!

[@22mastermind22]

You can just say "Bhalo Thaken" in Bengali, which stands for "Have a great day"

[@WhereisBrad]

Ahhh okay super helpful, thank you very much!! 🙏🥰

[@Hegemony_of_man]

The first rickshaw puller stated that this was the Gulshan-1. Second, Rickshawala just duped you. Look at his idiotic expression at 7:05 when you asked him whether this was the Gulshan -1. He simply gave you a ride and brought you back to your previous location and charged you 500tk. Damn it, when you live below the poverty line, you have to do whatever it takes. His family is going to eat well tonight. And thanks for being such a gentleman. Love from BD.

[@WhereisBrad]

Haha wow. Thank you for explaining that! And yes there were some times I knew I was getting ripped off, but didn’t mind helping the people out anyways. I really appreciate when people help me translate or understand a situation, thanks a lot

[@Mousymusic]

Come to Uttara if you can, I can show you some good places for food and content.

Okay I will try thank you!!🙏

You can Google translate it, Bro delicious= susbadu (Bangla) Always ask Mr. Google. At times I forget too 😅

I dont speak the language but I'm quite sure the guy you gave your custard apple to was asking you to buy him biryani.

[@WhereisBrad]

lol I believe you are right. I could tell better when editing. Good think I eventually got someone else’s help

[@SLIM_DICKINSON]

​@WhereisBrad bro it was so obvious. Poor guy wanted some food

[@WhereisBrad]

@@SLIM_DICKINSON I knew he wanted food, but I had just given him the apple and was struggling to communicate. But I stayed and got him what he wanted. I could understand “biryani” while editing better

When you going to sylhet in Bangladesh

[@WhereisBrad]

I’m not sure but I’ve added it to my list!

[@llewelyndaniel]

Hi Brad a bicycle has two wheels but the ones you ride in are called rickshaws. Remember everyone on the street does not understand or speak English. If they ask " you kanty " they mean your country? The curly orange coloured sweet is known as a Jelabi and you need to say MOJA if it is delicious. Brad, you must be super rich because your money is flowing like water. Please avoid giving the sellers and drivers the impression that every foreigner is rich. You do not seem to bargain at all and pay over ad above asking prices. Bangladesh is a country where you bargain normally offering 1/3 of the quoted price for starters and then maybe increasing in small stages. No doubt you have been well ripped off.

[@WhereisBrad]

Got it thank you! Very helpful!

[@theblackvenom1840]

Hi brad, love your videos. One thing I want to say though, please don't pay people more than the worth of the services they provide. This will impact others negatively later on. They will expect other tourists to pay more and then behave badly if they don't. Some people are on tighter budgets so it might be detrimental for them if they are being charged more.

[@WhereisBrad]

This is very interesting. Thanks for letting me know. I saw this as just helping before, but I now understand how there's a balance and I can actually be negatively be impacting things.

[@WhereisBrad]

Thanks for the comment and the nice info!

[@iamphenomenal1.0]

Brother you have to bergain for the price's of the products...The people will often ask you for more than the actual price...Stay alert bro..Dhaka is full of scammers Note : You should take one guide with you, the rickshaw puller just scammed you... But you have something to do is : Always pay less than the price they ask

[@WhereisBrad]

Okay thank you very much! It was hard to figure out a “baseline” price because it was always so different for each ride and I couldn’t tell what was right and wrong. Next time I need to start with a guide, like you said. Thank you!

[@aurghodatta]

But there are always some who are honest then you should pay few extra dollars for that not for being able to communicate

[@WhereisBrad]

I see, honestly, they work so hard pedaling those things I didn’t mind tipping at all

It's good you giving extra money but they will ask more to other tourist seeing so much extra money so it will be bad for other foreigners I think you should bargain and pay accordingly

[@WhereisBrad]

I’ve had a few people mention this. Thanks for the tip, I will try to be better about this from now on for sure!👍

[@markhenry1643]

Bro i know that 200 is not so much money for you but this rickshaw pullar of gulshan banani are a scam machine. They charge as much they can , though everyone thinks they are poor but in this area they earn more than a jr.executive in a month . So try to give the proper fare to the rickshaw puller or you can also help the really needy beggers or blind people.

[@WhereisBrad]

Oh wow! that's crazy! I had no idea. I felt like they work super hard and was happy to tip even if it's generous and will make someone's day. But ya I see your point. Thanks for the tip!

No you are absolutely wrong, I noticed your name you are Indian so I advise you without knowing Bangladesh don't say that again btw everywhere has good and bad people
