Weather
Hot and humid most of the year. Monsoon runs roughly June to October; November to February is mild and dry.
Getting around
Rickshaws, CNG auto-rickshaws, ride-hailing apps and the Dhaka Metro Rail. Your buddy will show you how.
Phone & internet
Get a local SIM on arrival with your passport. Mobile data is affordable and widely available.
Language
Bangla is the national language. English is common at universities and workplaces, and a few Bangla words go a long way.

Bangladesh is a Muslim-majority country. Modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees is appreciated.
