[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're right that your DH has a completely outdated view of Bangladesh.

I don't know why all the India posters are chiming in here.  I have been to all three - Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan - and stayed with middle class, lower middle class, and (in my childhood) village middle class.  The three countries have similar disparities.  The "feel" of middle class or UMC city life is very different from rural/village life.

The pics OP has posted are very real, and reflect middle class RURAL life.  Not typical city life for Bangladesh.  My relatives were very similar to OP's ILs back in the 80s and 90s but have now moved to the cities where there are shopping malls, grocery stores, credit cards, nice restaurants, insta-worthy cafes, and even amusement parks. These are not just for the uber rich either.

Unfortunately OP, and the Indian posters, and painting Bangladesh to be this shithole of a country when it really has a lot of beauty and modernity.[/quote]

Nobody doubts this. OP is having a village experience, middle class, and there's nothing strange about that life in any country. She can't get to the beautiful vibrant parts because of access, detailed at great length in these pages. So she's sharing what she sees. It's fine. Glad it's not me though. [/quote]
