Relocation Bangladesh

11 years ago

I was born in Bangladesh, but grew up in California, US. I am going back to finish my Med degree in Dhaka (since it is too expensive and difficult with a toddler here). I need help figuring out a lot of things for this move. Like where can I buy food without contamination and impurities for a toddler, which pediatricians are good. Which medical school is located in a nice residential area (preferably close to the American Club). Also which medical schools and elementary schools have an English curriculum that can be transferred to foreign countries? Being a woman, I have a lot of safety concerns: I was told I would not be able to travel alone, drive my car. Would a burka be my best bet? Since I will not be accompanied by my husband, it is scary to have a child without. paternal presence. Where can I find a nanny and or cook that I can trust? All the basics I need help with neither me nor my parents have been back to Bangladesh in 20 plus years and we have almost no information or family and need a lot of help with this move.Thank you.
