It would be nice if I could agree with Newaj, but unfortunately I cannot. I have lived and worked in a number of countries in Asia and Africa, including the last 3 years in Bangladesh, and the simple truth is that Bangladesh is not a nice country, neither for ex[pats nor for the majority of it's citizens. It has a rich cultural heritage, but unfortunately due to corruption, poverty, uncaring attitude and extreme pollution, most of the physical remnants of this culture has destroyed, and what is remaining will be gone very soon.
The corruption, violence, incredible selfishness of the people and lack of caring towards one another, pollution, crime, rapidly increasing cost of living, and the horrendous traffic, make Bangladesh a very hard place to live, and an even harder place to like. Dhaka has deservedly been ranked the most unliveable city in the world for the past couple of years (and other cities such as Chittagong are not much better), and Bangladesh has for many years been ranked in the top 10 most corrupt countries in the world, and although I have tried very hard, with the exception of a small minority of the people whom are wonderful, I find it very difficult to find any redeeming qualities about the country.
Anyone considering moving to Bangladesh, should do so with their eyes open in regard to what they are walking into. The following blog which was written very recently by a young Bangladesh female journalist, is a very accurate summary of the problems associated with living in Bangladesh:
