Bangladesh : lifestyle and fashion
Bangladesh is primarily a Muslim and conservative country and so there are certain things one should not wear. Female visitors should maintain a conservative dress standard and avoid showing much flesh beyond head, hands, and feet. Long lightweight skirts (or trousers) with a cotton blouse tend to work best for business situations.
Men,
especially in urban areas, wear western style clothing. Men in rural villages wear a lungi (a circular piece of cloth knotted at
the waist and extending to the ankles) with a genji (like an
undershirt). Some men wear white
religious clothing called pajama (a
western pajama bottom) and a panjabi (like a knee-length pajama top). Women wear a traditional saree,
a long piece of cloth wrapped around the body in a special way. Jewelry is important to a woman’s wardrobe,
because it also provides financial security.
Women don’t wear pants, and adults don’t wear shorts.

the population of Bangladesh is about 150,448,339 people. The birth rate is about 29 births/1000 population and the life expectancy is about 63 years. Female literacy rate is 31.8%, for males it is 53.9%, and the literacy rate for the total population is about 43.1%.
There aren't very many roads in Bangladesh and they usually aren't paved. The main forms of transportation are buses (often crowded), rickshas, and baby-taxis (three-wheeled motor scooters). For more private transportation, most people walk or ride bike, and taxis are expensive but safe. Rivers are used to transport people and goods throughout the country, and railroads are also important. Phones are mostly in urban areas, and cell phones are beginning to fill the gap in rural areas where there aren't any landlines. Televisions in homes are increasing, and most people have a radio.
