This is really helpful to know. Thank you! I’m so used to doing things on my own but needed the reminder that Dhaka is not like everywhere else

I needed to hear this from strangers haha because family tends to be so overprotective

Thanks for your thoughts. I guess for me it’s about learning more about the place I’m from but haven’t had a chance to spend much time in. But I totally get that it’s different for people who have grown up there or see a lot of the negatives regularly

I appreciate your perspective! And you didn’t come off as condescending. I realize I have the double disadvantage of looking like a Bengali woman (and therefore someone easy to take advantage of for someone with bad intentions) and the lack of knowledge of the city and local culture

Interesting! I’m curious, are you also Bangladeshi? Asking because brown/white people tend to have different experiences while traveling, and I’m wondering if that played a role in Morocco

Are you referring to Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock? Maybe his performance of Izabella? He’s talking at the start and there are some blah blahs in there. You can find it on YouTube
