Dhaka is a REALLY rough place to live for people with little or no money. Even if you're relatively well off it can still be very uncomfortable and stressful. 13 million people in a place the size of Brussells......that's just crazy. Very best of luck to all you Dhaka residents, present and future.

If industries and businesses move outside of Dhaka (which there is PLENTY of room for), we wouldnt have to face such a problem. I currently live here now and just the sight of the traffic and people can be mind boggling.

@vediocamera In Dhaka the nicest places are obviously Gulshan, Banani and the army Cantonement is probably the nicest area. In Bangladesh overall I can't say much because I haven't been everywhere but inbetween Dhaka and Comilla I saw some of the most beautiful green areas I have ever seen (I live in England) trees and grass sound so boring to me being a city person but you have to see it to understand and it's clean and spotless and not polluted.

@KKINTI many bengalis seem to be good people. but the problem with most bangladeshis are EGO problems and jealousy problems, i remember i went to bangladesh last year. and it seemed like many bangladeshi people were very jealous when i told them that i have traveled all over the world and been to india before, i mean i thought they were nice people that i could be open with. but turns out i was wrong. i wasnt trying to brag, i just told them i saved up alot of my money and went all around
