[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While OP may indeed be posting directly from Bangladesh, the point she keeps driving home is:

- Bangladesh is a sh!th0le country[/quote]

I don’t think that’s fair to OP.  This is my first post but I’ve been reading with sk interest.  She’s repeatedly said how nice the people are and how the pace of life is so much better and less competitive.  She also seems to appreciate things like tailor made clothing, etc.  But I don’t think it’s odd for her to comment on the relative lack of infrastructure and material stuff as compared with the US.  21st century Americans are insanely rich when it comes to material goods and technology.  That’s why we account for such a large share of climate change.  It’s very disorienting to go to a country that doesn’t have all that.  My kids were even a little taken aback in Italy at their dinky little kitchens compared to an American kitchen and the fact that the apartment we rented didn’t have a dryer (washer only).   That was bonkers to them.  OP admitted she has not travelled a lot in lesser developed countries, so of course that’s a hard adjustment for her and it sounds like her husband is more amused than helpful with her culture shock.

Ha,
Most American apartments (not houses) don’t even have a washer! Now, that’s bonkers. 
I’ve had a personal washer in [b]every apartment I stayed at in the former USSR[/b], no matter how small and old the apartment was.
Talk about shock![/quote]

That's because Russians are natural thieves and clothes left in a communal washing machine would be stolen. Meanwhile in France there are mini-laundromats right on the street so there is no need to have a private washing machine and dryer. [/quote]

+1 All the looting of Ukrainian homes- they stole dishwashers and washing machines! After killing the civilian residents. Sickening.[/quote]
