First, it kind
of surprising me when I learnt that the dumb phone is still very dominant in
the market here. Almost everyone here is using it. I wondered why nobody is
using the smart phone which has become a must in other countries. Isn’t that a
sign of behind?
It wasn’t
until I stepped into Snigdha class of
train from Chittagong to Dhaka that I realized most of my first observation
towards Bangladeshis are superficial in its entirety. This is a typical example
of lack of judgement when you only see one side of the country. It must have
been due to my way of travelling which rely on public transportation to move
around or I must have been spending too much time with the lower class which
eventually led to a biased understanding. Perhaps, I'm too local in some way. In fact, everyone in
the train is using smart phone. Most has good command in English.
Welcome to the
middle class.
As a
traveler, I find it hard not to judge even though my visit is short here. I
should probably visit north Dhaka which is said to be where all the middle
class lives so as to have a better understanding on Bangladesh.
