"It is not possible to insist and want every thing to meet your expectations, rather a lot of acceptance and compromise, and precautions on my part becomes necessary. It is necessary to accept and understand that it is a majority-Muslim country and most of the populace put their faith at the disposal of god and normally just try their best in getting the work done for daily survival, there is no benchmark except in the higher hierachy of MNCs, and even then that will be set lower say compare with a country like Singapore or HK," said a member in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

"Expats in Bangladesh often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. The climate can also be a challenge, as Bangladesh is a tropical country with high temperatures and humidity. Finally, the traffic and transportation system can be difficult to navigate, as roads are often congested and public transportation is limited," remarked another expat who made the move to Bangladesh.
