  • Making this video was pretty scary to be honest. I walked around Old Dhaka for the first time. There were so many friendly people, lots of food at the markets, and WOW so much to see. I was honestly pretty overwhelmed at the end, but in the end I think everyone was just excited to hang out, talk, and make this amazing video!
    If you're thinking about visiting Old Dhaka in Bangladesh, make sure you're prepared to keep walking so you don't end up with an unmanageable crowd like me. I can't believe it, wow, that's all I can say. Enjoy 😉

    "Tuition" is place where kids go to a private tutor. Also, where tutor coaches school kids.

    HI Brad, Don't worry the place you went is very much safe. The little boy was talikng about tuition. In bangladesh students go to teachers home for learning which is called coaching or tuition class. in this process Teachers can earn extra money by teaching outside of the school. In places like this , poeple always get excited whenever they see a foreigner. It is safe but dont go to lonely streets at night, there may be some thieves .sorry for my bad English and welcome to Bangladesh.

    OMG this video is intense Brad 🤯😳This reminds me of what happened to my friends and I as female travellers we were grabbed and followed. I know they were just excited but it was so scary we ended up leaving early. Glad you didn't bring your beautiful wife with you. Stay safe and be careful with the food you eat and it's a good idea to bring a translator with you that can speak their language.❤ Thank you for all the videos you post showing how it is in other countries.

      Ya this one was super intense and very scary! Being alone made it so much more scary, and I'm glad everything turned out okay. I ended up turning off the camera and literally sprinting away. I had to go far too to get away lol. I too am super happy Krisna wasn't with me, and yes I'll be more safe next time. I learned a ton from this experience. I can't even imagine if I was female - 10x the scariness!

    Like everywhere there are good and bad people.
    You just met some spoil children/teenagers. Many of them are out of edication and getting addicted.
    They were talking about weed/hemp /smoking.
    For sure it's ilegal and you did a good job by avoiding these kids.
    Simple trick - whoever is asking money/gift avoid them.
    Asking money or gift isn't allowed in Bangaledhi culture.

    Brad, thanks for sharing the raw scenes of our country. I am sorry for your experience with those bad kids, they were trying to scam you into smoking weed, and make you pay for their drugs, such low lives! For future, better to avoid too much narrow alleys, and if you do talk, talk to the young kids (say 8-12), they were nice and curious. The elder ones following you were just spoiled stupids
