Our report provides all this information in the easiest way possible. Our recommendations include Purchase a Dhaka City tourist map to make it easier to get around in Old Dhaka. When traveling to and from work. We recommend that you become familiar with the metric system because that is what they use in Dhaka. You should rent an apartment in Old Dhaka, or are on the outskirts of town in Gulshan, and Banani. Though it is common to speak English when dealing with business in Dhaka, we recommend you learn simple phrases in the native language Bangla, to make your everyday life a little easier. You should get familiar with the routes of the Rickshaws operating in the area you will be living in since this will most likely be your best bet for transportation. Be aware of the monsoonal season in Dhaka since this could be very important when having to travel around outside. Be aware of your surroundings in Dhaka. Do not travel alone at night. Make sure to carry as little money as possible when going around the city.
