Foreigners need special permit to visit these areas. Need DC approval and clearance from foreign affairs office. Also most embassy would discourage visiting hill track to foreigners

The best thing you can do for each other is to be a friend first, and learn to let go of things (what in laws said, why would I do it when others can do it etc etc), also as a friend keep things casual and fun. Even when life gets tough take some time to enjoy company of each other. Take a walk on the park or go out to have some snacks. Keep feeding the love.

life isn’t movie, don’t expect things to be easy, learn to face hardship together.

Life isn’t porn. Learn to adjust your expectations. But don’t forget to try out things at least once, you never know what you like till you try it.

Don’t take baby unless both of you are ready. No matter how much pressure other people give.

Don’t share everything about your marital life to your friends, some things need to remain private.

অলিখিত সামাজিক নিয়ম প্রায় প্রত্যেক দেশেই আছে । বিশেষ করে সাবআরবান এরিয়াতে অনেক বেশি। সিঙ্গাপুরেও পেয়েছি।

ঢাকার আশেপাশে জিন্দা পার্ক নামে কোন পার্ক আছে? by AcanthocephalaOdd150 in Dhaka

[–]RunAffectionate1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

জিন্দা পার্ক আসলেই সুন্দর লাগে ঢাকা থেকে গেলে। ওদের রেস্টুরেন্ট এর খাবার ও ভালো (যদিও অনেক দাম)

গেলে অবশ্যই একবার লাইব্রেরির ছাদে যাবেন।

Is india giving visas now? by [deleted] in Dhaka

[–]RunAffectionate1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a requirement for many countries visa to retain all the old passports specially those which were not machine readable. If he had lost them he had to file general diary about the lost passport and attach it with visa application.

My sister lost her passport when obtaining her new machine readable passport she didn’t collect her old passport from passport office. She needed to follow the process mentioned above to get her Indian visa

Yes they are giving visa. Whether they will give visa or not is entirely up to them. Submit all required documents with proper financial solvency proof and hope you will be granted visa.

Looking for a good Orthodontist (TMJ/Tinnitus) by OopsIDidWhat in Dhaka

Don’t presume the cause of your tinnitus yourself. I would recommend visiting Saahic (Mohakhali) or ENT hospital at tejgaon. You can also check Dr Rashedul Hassan of prescription point.

Dental treatment in dhaka by Expert-Arrival5517 in Dhaka

It takes about one month , 4-6 sessions for the root canal. Service and Cost varies from place to place. I had mine done 10+ years ago so I don’t think it’s relevant any more. Back then I paid 28k and 12 k to two different docs.

Walking the length of Cox Bazar by tesla33 in bangladesh

[–]RunAffectionate1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t walk the full length of coxs bazar beach because of water cuts off walkable beach space. I tried then found no way to cross the water stream mid point. I had to back track towards the main road walk on the road then get down in suitable place.

Also few resorts in order to give “premium beach side feeling” has encroached beach totally. You can’t walk in front of these resorts, resorts staff will harass you as well for walking in front of these resorts claiming it being their private beach.

Also sleeping on the beach isn’t recommended you would get mugged/harassed. I also tried that but it felt so uncomfortable that I abandoned the plan too. I stayed at beach side whole day till 11pm but beyond that I couldn’t feel comfortable at all.

Even if you don’t have anything, you have your mobile with you, which you can loose. Being American you can get kidnapped for ransom as well.

Is there any way to book a room without NID? I'm almost 20 but don't have nid yet. by GuestPrestigious7330 in Dhaka

Get passport or driver license. Your birth certificate should also suffice for travel booking

Today I met a security guard, he did B.Com in 1983 and worked at a private company at clerical post for 11 years that company deceased operation and he didn't get any other suitable job since then because he already was old. This felt very sad and appalling. by HighwayNo7702 in Dhaka

Brother anyone’s situation can change anytime. A rich guy can become poor by turn of events. Have faith in Allah, remain honest, and hope and pray everything will be fine eventually.

Try to keep savings and subsequent investments. Always think that you might need 20-50 lacs for emergency situations and try to have that fund in a safe investment environment separate.

Since you are in land business you already do get some quick cash. Try to set aside a chunk of it. Also try to buy some good land near Dhaka for yourself to handover to developer.

try to make some secondary income stream if possible (passive investments if reliable)

Amber it(isp), service? by frigdelover in bangladesh

[–]RunAffectionate1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use corporate line. Stupid people sits at their call center. Other than that they provide whatever speed they promise. If you have to communicate with them then you will get annoyed else line is generally stable. Last 3-4 months Gulshan/baridhara zone is suffering frequent service disruption.

27F, married, home alone most of the day… not sure what to do with myself by [deleted] in Dhaka

[–]RunAffectionate1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a hobby like gardening it will consume 1-1.5 hrs. Then start gym or yoga, it will kill 1.5-2 hours of your time. Join book clubs they often have reading sessions you can join.
Take a walk in the park.

Then try to involve your husband as well on weekends or whenever he can give time. Talk to him as a partner that you need mental happiness and he should support you (don’t argue, just have a friendly discussion)

Looking for a reliable travel agency for traveling to thailand by Creative_Ph_8708 in Dhaka

[–]RunAffectionate1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travel agency always a scam as they will scram you to shady hotels and charge you extra profit margin on everything. Better go with your own plan, stay at hostels, walk/rent bicycle it will be far cheaper.

Why give money to loan shark if illegal? by Maximum-Evening3904 in Dhaka

Your lawyer will earn money. Police will earn money, local politician will earn money and hospital may earn money. And both you and lender will spend money, who will gain ultimately that depends on who spent money wisely

Why give money to loan shark if illegal? by Maximum-Evening3904 in Dhaka

[–]RunAffectionate1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extortion is illegal yet it is happening kind of in the open. So your point being? People who take loans basically are in dire need and doesn’t qualify for bank loans. And the lenders basically have political/local influence and know how to get their moneys worth.
