moving to Dhaka from Mumbai, India

10 years ago
hi all,

My husband is being transferred to Dhaka in December 2014. My 4 year old son and I will be coming along. I'm a bit concerned/ curious about moving here from Mumbai, India, (even though I'm sure Dhaka is not much different from Mumbai in terms of its population and living conditions).

I have a few questions and would be eternally grateful for some answers!

school : could someone recommend a good international school for my son

residential areas + rental:
what is a safe, good, centrally located residential area to live in? With a park nearby where my son can play and a hospital not too far.
What is the going rental rate for an unfurnished 3bhk ?

water and electricity:
is it true that there are 3 hour power cuts on a daily basis or is it a myth?
is water shortage common?

healthcare:
does the city have good healthcare?
does anyone have any recommendations for a good Pediatrician and general physician/ family doctor.

please do write in with pros and cons! I find it always helps to be fully-equipped :)

thanks!
