Dhaka Travel Guide: Must-Know Tips Before You Go! 🇧🇩✈️

1. Visa Headaches (Updated Dec 2024) 🛂 Chinese travelers technically need: ✅ Invitation letter with company license (even for tourism!) ✅ $51 visa fee (exact change saves time) ⚠️ But here's the catch: Some officers "forget" requirements... if you "tip" $10-20 😒. I got through without documents after "donating" to the "officer's coffee fund". Yay, corruption! 2. Uber = Cheap But... 🚗💨 Good: Prices are low (airport to city center ≈¥50) Bad: Dhaka's traffic moves slower than sloths 🦥 Pro Tip: Morning rides before 7AM = 30min Same trip at noon = 2.5hr nightmare 🤯 Bonus: Watch rickshaws play real-life Tetris between trucks! 3. Money Drama 💵 Bring: Small USD bills ($1/$5s)—bribes, tips, emergencies Just 5,000-8,000 BDT cash (ATMs exist but charge fees) Avoid: Exchanging too much (like my 9,000 BDT paperweight 😭) "Helpful" money changers near airports—scam central 🚨 4. Survival Kit Essentials 🎒 Hand sanitizer (you'll use it 20x daily) Toilet paper (most restrooms are BYOTP) 🧻 Power bank (blackouts happen daily) 🔋 Pepto-Bismol (your stomach will thank you) 💊 5. Cultural FYIs 🤔 Friday = Sunday (everything closes for prayers) 🕌 Selfies = National Sport 📸 (prepare to pose with 50 "new friends") "No" doesn't exist—vendors will chase you for blocks 🏃‍♂️💨 6. Escape Plan 🏃‍♀️💨 Leaving? Arrive 4hrs early for flights! Why? 1️⃣ Airport traffic jams (yes, even to departures) 2️⃣ Security theater (4 checkpoints + pat-downs) 3️⃣ Last-minute "fees" (keep $20 hidden just in case) #DhakaSurvivalGuide #TravelTruths
