<p>I still remember when I went to apply for my Bangladesh visa via a tour company, the staff looked at me surprisingly and asked &#8220;Bangladesh? Why the heck do you want to go there? You work in a foreign worker recruitment company one, is it?&#8221;.</p>
<p>Now I understand why they reacted like that. When I was in Dhaka, I stuck up like a sore thumb in the crowd. I was the only foreign looking person in the city. I couldn&#8217;t find any travellers during my short stay in Dhaka. It can be overwhelming and scary at the same time. Wherever I go, hundred of eyeballs followed me. It was more intimidating than in India. I locked myself in the room during night time and only dare to explore the city during daytime. Too bad I only have 2 days in this mysterious land before I flew back to KL. Otherwise, it would make an interesting place to explore.</p>
<p>This is the end of my 5 weeks adventure. If you would like to know how to do the same, please read <a href="http://www.benleow.com/1716/one-month-backpacking-in-india-part-1/">Part 1</a>, <a href="http://www.benleow.com/1750/one-month-backpacking-in-india-part-2/">Part 2</a> and <a href="http://www.benleow.com/1762/one-month-backpacking-in-india-part-3/">Part 3</a> on my one month backpacking in India. Thanks for following yet another adventure of mine and I hope you enjoyed reading it.</p>
