Avoid Trying This in Dhaka! 🇧🇩

I'm in Dhaka Bangladesh and as you can  see behind me I'm starting this video at   the asan manzil which is a beautiful Pink  Palace here in the middle of old Dhaka and   it was completed in 1872 and it's a beautiful  area just got palm trees green and then just   really unique strong pink color it's actually  a museum now I just thought I'd start the video   off here and we're going to explore around old  Dhaka also near the river so we may be getting   a boat later but let's just see this is a  cool little uh tourist destination 500 uh   taka it cost me five dollars to get in here  not too bad and I think they've got Museum   and art but you guys didn't come here for that  you came here for the the intense and vibrant   city of Dhaka so let's head into the city all  right we are now

nowhere   I can sit and eat them without being hassled so  let's get back to the hotel and try these ladies   and gentlemen we have the long-awaited dessert  taste test we've got a mixture of everything   this looks delicious I'm going to start  with my favorite um I remember having this   in Pakistan it's just like just giving  me a lot of nostalgia let's give it a go oh my God how did I do this it's so good  oh my God syrup sugar bit of nuts taste   um but the texture is just so soft and it's  just like breadcrumbs stuck together basically   okay we can't eat too much because we've got  a lot to go through next I'll go for this one this looks really weird like a donut almost  but it's got something on top like coconut okay well um that is also so so good  it's so literally so soft   as this isn't coconut this is just like flour or  sugar but uh it's almost like wet inside there's   like water inside okay both of those have been  incredible I don't know how we're gonna beat them   okay next we'll go for the very popular I  can't remember the name of this you guys are   gonna have to remember but this also I remember  being very good but I yeah we'll give it a go hmm not as good as I remember hasn't really got  any taste to it but it's okay not this one okay oh wow so it's very similar to a donut very  oily so much sugar but delicious as well   these two the first two I tried still  my favorites now I try the pistachio   um biscuit kind of thing oh my God quite hard  um it tastes weird [Music] okay I don't have to   describe that this I remember being really  good it's got a little bit of silver on it that was good but I'm sorry guys the Kings   these two my favorite by far if anyone can  write down the names that'd be great I've   had an incredible time filming this video I just  like I'm astounded at how friendly the people in   Bangladesh are specifically I'm going to Old Dhaka  because I think that's where the more intense and   more entertaining areas of DACA are and so yeah  I'm just happy that I'm just meeting so many nice   people everyone's so inquisitive they're just  staring and of course I don't mind staring but   um yeah it just shows that you know not many  tourists come here and unfortunately I guess maybe   it's because well I can actually say it's because  of two reasons number one is because of the media   um and obviously we're working on that I like to  think that YouTube is the New Media here and where   I'm showing people the Taurus that Bangladesh is  safe and a great country to come to however one   thing that Bangladesh I'll speak freely about this  and I don't care what people say but Bangladesh   aren't helping themselves with tourism uh because  like the to get into the country is so hard like   as a tourist a visa on arrival is so hard so if  Bangladesh can do one thing it's to help improve   that area like um just when you get to the airport  just some of the logistics of the airport is just   not very well done and the security almost like  really trying to find something wrong with your   papers and they want to have a reason to not  let you in I was at the airport for like three   hours uh between three and four hours getting  interviewed and so many questions they're like   magnify having a magnifying glass up to my  passport checking if I was a spy if I was   you know fake passport so I feel like  I've never had that in any other country   um you know not in Pakistan not in India and  although it is hard in those countries but   not as hard as this country and so I feel like  that's somewhere where they could improve but   apart from that once you actually get into  the country it's an incredible place I'm so   happy to be here okay thank you for watching  and I'll see you in the next video [Music]
