"Expats in Dhaka often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as English is not widely spoken. Additionally, the traffic and pollution can be overwhelming, and the heat and humidity can be difficult to adjust to. The cultural norms and expectations can also be difficult to navigate, as they are quite different from those in many Western countries. Finally, the lack of access to certain amenities and services can be a challenge for expats, as many of the things they are used to may not be available in Dhaka," said a member in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
