Practical tips for Bangladesh
- The local currency is the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT); cash is king, so carry smaller denomination notes for street markets, tea stalls, and rickshaw rides.
- For navigating Dhaka's legendary traffic, use ride-sharing apps like Uber or Pathao, or hop into a colorfully painted cycle rickshaw for short neighborhood hops.
- Dress modestly by covering shoulders and knees out of respect for local customs, and remember to remove your shoes before entering homes and places of worship.
