"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," wrote a member who made the move to Bangladesh.
