Entertainment/বিনোদন Argentine here!

Just stopping by to say hello!

I’ve been seeing your support for the country and our well-known figures for years; we truly appreciate that support.

A friend and I are even considering visiting the country and meeting its people in person.

Big hug! :)

Would suggest you to avoid landing in Dhaka, the capital. Try Chittagong or Sylhet

OP respectfully don’t listen to this comment!! Dhaka is very happening esp the arts scenes!! 😔😔 but Chittagong and sylhet are also beautiful places, I have to recommend all three tbh!

Grew up in Dhaka. Please don't give a tourist his first impression of Bangladesh starting from Dhaka.

I grew up in Dhaka too and live there, that too as a woman 😔 ofc nowhere is sunshine and rainbows and one needs a lot of privilege to be able to speak positively of such a ruthless place. I do believe it is a disservice to the country to discount the capital which is very historically and culturally significant and very happening right now in terms of things to do. I totally agree it’s not the only representation of our lush and diverse country, it just would be a huge miss if they don’t at least visit a little bit of the city! Especially with all the heritage sites, markets, galleries, museums, events, plays, food, raves, live music, etc. It’s def not the most romantic city in the world lol but it’s my city and I would want anyone - stranger or loved one - to experience a little bit of its many, many offerings (even if said offerings are kinda chaotic or neglected; it’s up to us as citizens to keep advocating for better, and turning people who can afford to travel away from supporting local spaces etc is imho not the most encouraging step)

Let him/her explore through the other side of Bangladesh. Dhaka gives a bad impression
