Bangladeshi culture
Three things you need to know about the Bangladesh:
1. It is a small country with a large population (over 150 million people). 2. Pork and alcohol are not allowed because it is a Muslim country. If you want to drink, you have to go to a five-star hotel. 3. Most of the clothes you wear are made in Bangladesh.
A must see in the Bangladesh is: The sea beach at Chitagong.
The biggest difference between Canada and the Bangladesh is: That we drive on the left side, not the right.
In the Bangladesh, never ever: Wear a bikini as a woman (even in a swimming pool), it is very uncommon to show so much skin.
A wrong stereotype about Bangladesh is: That we are all Taliban and follow Osama Bin Laden.
Bangladeshi love: Foreigners and tourists. They are very good hosts.
Bangladeshi hate: Discrimination.
What I like most about Bangladesh is: The weather because it’s a lot warmer and the prices because everything is very cheap.
What I dislike most about the Bangladesh is: The high illiteracy rate.
Here in Canada I miss most: Bangladeshi food!
