🌍

Dhaka is a big city of roughly 10,000,000 people near the mountains in Bangladesh. The climate is tropical. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,000. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for gardening and rural life, food and eating out, quiet days.

Entro il 2030 qui è atteso un cambiamento concreto: metro mrt line 1, prima linea sotterranea del paese, 31 km. Starlink e l’internet satellitare non sono utilizzabili in questo paese.
