Bangladesh is a country rich in culture that is completely diverse, making it really fun to be there. Imagine a song that is just a lyric-based one and with only a few musical accompaniments, wouldn’t that be weird, but in Bangladesh it’s what their ears want to hear. They have a whole different culture and tradition that once entered would totally be like entering a new world.

So what exactly is the best way to start out touring a whole new different and hopefully whacky place? Of course it is through the kitchen! Bangladesh is a land known for its delicious food. If you are in Dhaka, you can try Sajna for local and other cuisines. As most Asian countries, Bangladesh’s staple food is boiled rice. They also use mustard and soybean oils as cooking medium. Anyway, perhaps before you leave a restaurant in this foreign land, you should try the Bengali curry, pulaos and the sweets this country has to offer.

After a long hour of practically stuffing yourself with authentic Bangladeshi food you can then start burning off the extra calories you just accumulated. If you are interested with treasures, natural treasures that is, then Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka would be the perfect place for you. Not only will you see natural wonders here, you would also see the wonderful Hindu temples and churches around it.

If you are looking for a place where there would be a lot of people and a place where you could have a little swim, then Cox’s Bazaar would be a wonderful place. This beach is famous for being the longest unbroken beach slope in the world. However, not everyone who wants to be close to nature wants a place where there are a lot of people. At Khulna, you will find the largest forests in the world. It’s typically quiet since it is a forest. If you were looking for something exotic, then Sylhet is the place you’re looking for. Different varieties of flora and fauna, several tea plantations and tropical forests are what you would find in this region of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is terribly in hot water as the protest for gender equality is underway. Hundreds are currently experiencing the lashes of the patriarchal system of male dominance over women. What the country is undergoing is a long battle with a noble goal that if ever it will be pushed to the limits, it will eventually result to women empowerment. Dhaka may seemingly be bloody as riots begin to curtail any movement to give women equal rights as men, but the members of the radical Islamic Constitution Movement should not be violent about their actions to temper down the situation. They need diplomacy and calmness in discussing ways of how things can be worked out in the region.

The Bangladeshi women treading their way to gender equality will open doors to the progress of the country. It is only proper that the women in the region be respected and be given importance by its men. After all, the women in Dhaka are individuals who should be fairly treated and protected from abuses. They are also human beings who have feelings and can be hurt.
