[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful whose advice you take. My husband is also from Bangladesh. The family members who haven’t been back in a long time really don’t understand how much more conservative and dangerous it has become. There’s no way in hell I’d wear a burkha myself but PP is right that they are common there now. It’s a sad story of retreating from secular government.

I wouldn’t take a small child myself. You’re going to constantly be on edge about food sanitation. [/quote]

OP here: Thanks. This is my biggest concern. My husband hasn't been back to Bangladesh in over 8 years. His mother was here for our wedding 6 years ago and that's the last time he has seen his mother. They're very close but unfortunately we didn't have the funds to travel to Bangladesh or the time to take off from grad school. We're both finally finished with grad school now and can afford a trip to Bangladesh. His mother doesn't want to come to the US because she gets travel sickness and she's afraid  to fly. She's also afraid to fly alone and there's no one in his family who can accompany her on the trip. I am very hesitant about this trip and my husband is NOT understanding. He basically told me he will divorce me if I don't go on the trip! I really do want to meet his family. I have only met his mother. He has a sister, brother and nephew I really want to meet.

Oh boy I feel your pain. Us not making big international trips regularly is a huge problem for my in laws too. Luckily most of my husband’s family has left the country. But only after some family members were killed in terrorist acts. But, DH’s parents are from exactly the cities mentioned in the State Dept warning posted here, and sounds like that’s not where you’ll be going. [/quote]
