Why There's Nowhere in the World Like Dhaka, Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@srabonx]

Just imagine in 1678, there were no modern buildings around it, you could see the river directly from the fort. How beautiful it used to be! No Electrical lights, no buses, no people, just silence and oil lamps.

[@HomeTravelGardenInspo]

If there were “no people”, who lighted the oil lamps? 😂

[@srabonx]

@@HomeTravelGardenInspo I mean almost none was there. It's a metaphoric sentence.

[@harryhill6238]

and an ever increasing population - they don't just reproduce but have litters. india too. it's a problem but they refuse to solve it. can't feed themselves but will bring souls into this world that they also can't feed. foolish and inconsiderate. people in rapid moral decline

[@riseandshine70]

Even in 1980s, Dhaka was much more beautiful.

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

It was all the fault of Noakhali Chittagong Sylheti Comilla and Barishal people who produced children like a rabbit and sent them to work in early childhood or Madrasa. Over pop and corruption are the main causes of all the problems here

[@TravelbyDartTV]

The city that will test your patience, expand your horizons, and leave you with a million stories to tell. I've been to Bangladesh few years ago as I filmed one of our TV show episodes there and truth be told, where kindness is as common as street vendors, resilience is etched on every face, and the spirit of the people shines brighter than any neon sign.

This is my favorite Jason Billam video ever! Just wow.

[@nagachotpoti]

hey Jason, it's so good to see you back in BD. I followed your entire BD series in 2018 and I'm glad that we've made you come back for more! Also I'm so sorry for the chaos you've faced among us, try to visit more hill-track and countryside areas to get the best of Bangladesh, like Sitakundu, Thanchi Alikodom, Mohamaya Lake, Debotakhum etc . Loads of love

[@fuadfaruque]

I love watching folks, especially foreign bloggers coming to check out Bangladesh (looks like the amount of tourists going is on the rise)! You make the experience seem so authentic and exciting. My parents are originally from Bangladesh (Old Dhaka) but it's been a while since I've had a chance to visit so its great getting to live vicariously through your videos

[@dmm040]

can’t believe this guy is doing this alone walking and with a rickshaw. Walking in busiest streets of Dhaka is one challenge everyone should take 😂

[@Unity71official]

welcome to Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@TrainLordJC]

You've excelled yourself here with this truly unique, simple, captivating and more similar adjectives to show this amazing city. WOW! The tricycle rides and just walking those busy streets. As a pretty experienced world traveller from previous years I was wondering why you chose to come to Dhacca but as an awesome world traveller yourself, you and Gabriel Traveler are definitely my two favourites, never missing an episode so that I can continue to travel vicariously through your lens and watch the goings on. Well done.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Very interesting video! Thank you for the history lesson. The congestion and noise would overwhelm me. You are far braver and calmer than I could be. The things one does for biryani!!

I request you to visit Shylet. I always find your videos enjoyable to watch.

[@seefan007]

What many people don’t know about the Lalbagh Fort is that the fort derives its name from an old garden of red roses. Hence Lal (red) and Bagh (garden). Even more interesting is that, this particular garden is not the ones you see around the compound! It was located on the upper floor of the structure you see straight ahead, as you enter the compound. Walk across Pari Bibi’s tomb to the other end, walk left and at the end of the building you will find stairs to go up. Now walk to the other end. You will find a green patch here, and within the apparent field, you will find remnants of walls built in geometric patterns. This was the garden of red roses. It is believed that the then ruler had imported these rose plants from Basra (Iraq) and built this rose garden for his daughter. Look west here, and you will find another building beside an open space. This was the waterworks department. Water used to be pumped up from the river to this place. From here, it was brought up to this floor for the rose garden. More water was taken to the open tank on this floor at the center of the building (which you must have crossed on the way to the rose garden). From this tank, water would shoot down pipes to the garden below and feed the fountains. It was quite an engineering feat keeping the fountains running in those days!

Just saw your video. Left my country about 5yrs ago to pursue higher degrees & haven’t been to Bangladesh since. Made me so nostalgic! Kudos to you. I REALLY appreciate your courage to go through the narrow গলিs (go-lee) / narrow roads of shankhari bajar, lalbag, sadarghat! Since you have been to this area, may be next time go to the "University of Dhaka" area as well. And have some tea at TSC. May be visit the book fair as well? If you ever go to Mohammadpur again, try Singapore Juice House and Mona mamar HALIM 😅 Also, have you been to neelkhet or new market? Chadni chowk? Atleast neelkhet would be nice experience. You will see so many books but with much lesser prices! I wish you enjoy my city, my home to the best 😊

Thanks Jason 🙂 I hope you weren't living in fear of the big stick wielding, rickshaw beating boy of when you were last in Old Dhaka?! Lol! 🤣 I see quite a few people suggesting Sylhet to you, you'll find it cleaner & less congested than Dhaka & most British Bangladeshis originate from that region. I covered the city in a couple of my recent vlogs. There's a famous beggar lady in Zindabazar who has learnt to speak English & politely asks you "Pound please?"! The rickshaw wallah overcharged you as I think the price should have been closer to Tk 100, but due to your generosity, he'll be able to feed his family well so fair dues to you! It's best to negotiate the price before you set off. By the way thanks to your reply from your first Bangladesh vlog & I'm the Chester lad here in case you'd forgotten as I know you've thousands of comments to contend with! Have a great weekend my friend 🤗
