[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is American born and raised SouthAsian? [/quote]

Op here. No, if that was the case I would have probably been prepared. I am a white American from Connecticut.  Before the first trip I think I watched a few videos and from the videos, I thought people would be riding on the tops of trains and I would see a lot of monkeys and elephants. I didn't see any monkeys. I saw one elephant and I didn't see any trains during the first visit. I went in blind. I wasn't even aware of mosquitos being a problem,  no washer or dryers, or sleeping in a mosquito net. There are a lot of other things as well but I won't go into that. The people are so sweet though and they do seem happier than Americans. They enjoy life more it seems and have more friends and down time. If they aren't having downtime it seems a friend will always be around working with them. A lot of people own their own shops, car business etc, etc. [/quote]

You cannot be this dumb. Seriously.[/quote]

To be honest I’m Indian American and I know nothing about Bangladesh either

I would assume it’s just like India but when I sit and think about it I’ve never really heard of bangladeshi railways/trains either

Edit:

So I just looked it up and while Indian railways has been a thing for almost 200 years and has total track length of 80k miles

Bangladesh only has 2200 miles of track

That’s crazy. Rail is so central to my idea of south Asian identity even as a 2nd American — we grew up hearing about and visiting and riding on the railways that were terrible slow but extensive

Bangladesh really doesn’t even have that - crazy [/quote]

Here's a fun thing you can google next - the size of India vs the size of Bangladesh.[/quote]
