- 🇧🇩 Bangladesh is a country of mighty rivers and some dodgy river boats. Myself and @BackpackerBen decided to jump on one and ride down the river in style in my own VIP cabin. Check out what you can get for the princely sum of $12! And on the way I made some friends. Join me on the world's cheapest VIP cruise!

When he turned the camera around and there were ten guys just standing there watching him I almost spit out my coffee. He said they all watch you there but I still thought they’d be more nonchalant about it. Not just standing right in front of him smiling and staring like he was putting on a show for them just by existing. That was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on RUclips.
Very true lmaoo
It's a lot worse if you're a woman especially if you're blonde.
@@Ryan-uk6zq I could imagine. At least they seemed harmless. Just comically intrusive.
@@Ryan-uk6zqscarcity is one hell of a drug
I almost spit out my tea, it was like a scene from a movie filled with "over the top" stereotypes, just absolutely hilarious.
while I do miss those odd situations Bald got himself into with russian language skills and plenty of booze...he still manages to shine wherever he goes, beats 99% of travel shows ever made
hahaha this is almost better since his random narrative is final when he can't ask any questions.
Nah. Withous USSR this channel is dead.
Pretty entertaining yeah
@@boutekUSSR hasn't existed since RUclipss creation
@@boutek oh yeah, 2 mil views in 3 days, channel is dead af...
Some explanations from a Bangladeshi - --- In 12.03 mins, B&B offered a rickshaw puller to pick his rent, he took 200 BDT ($2) and said "vangti nai?" meaning - "don't you have any smaller note". Then B&B replied "ok? (is that enough?)", the rickshaw puller understand the word ok like any person of the world (without recognizing the "?") and he verbally replied "ok" (by shaking his head & hand). In 17.05 mins, B&B offer money (rent) to a boatman by showing a lot of Bangladeshi notes, the boatman pick the note which is in the top (100BDT= $1), then he discovered there are some smaller notes behind that and took 20+10+10 = 40 BDT = 40 cent, and return that 100 BDT = $1, meanwhile B&B got confused and said " you are taking all the money", then right after he understood the boatman is a honest person and praised him. At my best knowledge, the average income of such hardworking people is around 3 to 5 dollar a day (after working 8 plus hours).
honest men. bangladesh has good people.
@DoxxGod pretty much the same although prices vary in state to state in india, like West Bengal (A state of india) And eastern states products are expensive than bangladesh while in Maharashtra (state with mumbai) has much cheaper but high inflation in estate than Bangladesh.
I really appreciate the translation and analysis. It helps a lot in humanizing these people and their honesty. Thanks
@@tashrifgani9101 India has much lower inflation than Bangladesh. Also, India manufactures almost all the products itself so it's very cheap here but service charges are very expensive here.
Thanks for the explanation and translation. Great to see they're honest people!
You visited a small city called "Chandpur," situated at the confluence of the "Padma" and "Meghna" rivers. It boasts the largest wholesale Hilsa fish (National Fish) market in Bangladesh. In the early days, rivers were our primary means of transportation, so most of the biggest and oldest towns in Bangladesh are located alongside a river.
People usually come to Chandpur to savor various dishes made with Hilsa fish because the flavor is unique. Unfortunately, you missed the best part of Chandpur, but it was wise not to eat at random places in Bangladesh. You can find many clean and safe restaurants/hotels in Dhaka where you should try Hilsa!
We may not have a clean city, efficient transportation, and all the amenities, but the heartfelt hospitality and honesty you experience in this country are truly one of a kind!
I've been following you since your India and Soviet tour vlogs, but it really gives me goosebumps to see you in my country having fun!
*Most of the people were asking where you are from because our English skills are quite limited, and we can't ask much else, lol.
and people reading this comment can ask my anything about this video/bangladesh, I'll try to reply
your english is pretty good, or did you use google translate??? (which is fine)
Nah when he said to savor various dishes I had to laugh lol cause people don't talk like that in English. Only tv advertisement 😂
@@cookdislander4372 It might be surprising that some south Asians are actually smarter and can speak English more eloquently than you. Digest this fact and maybe sleep on it- will teach you some humility.
Good job representing Bangladesh @sabbir.
From- Bengal, India
thanks for sharing. would you say the quality of life has increased or decreased compared to the past. and what do you think is the best place to live in Bangladesh, a big urban city or..?
Great comment
"What I like about Bangladesh is people just stand in front of you and stare at you" - LMAO. Dude, not kidding...., I'm a South Indian and when I visited some rural areas of Bengal (India), people were staring at me like I'm a foreigner. Apparently, I was the first South Indian they ever saw lol. So I can imagine how the good people of Bangladesh felt seeing a Brit after 75 years.
South Indians don’t look very different
I'm in India now. Could you explain why indians just stare?
@morrist8727 many have likely not seen foreigners before
The Drax defensive posture.
they just wanted money. they see him as a walking wallet from the western world.
In Bangladesh always get help from locals in dealing with people specially from students and religious people. At the end of boat trip locals told the boat driver to take less money. This is a good tip for visitors from other countries.
Bad advise. Dont spread lies
I could tell the rickshaw driver and the kid who mentioned the bazaar across the river both had really good hearts. I love the good natured people who help out travellers. Great vibes. Cheers baldies.
I like how grumpy backpacker Ben is and how optimist Bald is. It creates a nice synergy.
Great videos keep them coming 🎉
I'd be grumpy if I had gastric issues and no sleep too.
Why are you spoiling that he's in the video?
@@hefner1322 why are you reading comments before watching the video? The point of the comment sectio is to talk about the video
I'd be grumpy too, you would never catch in the southern hemisphere ever, always a northerner and that suits me well!
The people looking and smiling and just staring is hilarious. They seem so gentle and sweet. Note when Bald held up a wad of money to pay, they took what looked like the exact amount. While I would never go there in a million years, I’m impressed how chill the people are.
It's lovely
Gentle? Look up the news you'll find out how they threaten all the Minorities there.
yeah until they fling shit at you for not eating fish
@@raahimkhan6791 What is your point ya jahil?
Million Years is Very Optimistic for me! Something like an Infinity is a little bit closer to my opinion! 😂 😂 😂
For an episode with “no content”… I was thoroughly entertained ! One of the best adventures yet ! I think Bangladesh needs you as their new Tourism minister 😂😂❤️
you haven't seen Mr. Suck then
he says no content but it's an amazing video
@@seza1695give me his channel link
Last time people suggested that, Bald ended being banned from entering in a certain country.😂😂
I don't know why but sometimes i feel like Bald has some kind of deathwish on himself.
This man's travels are insane! There is nothing like this on youtube. Thanks for sharing your travels with us! Cheers!
As much as I miss Bald’s classic Soviet trips, an outing to South Asia after the series in India all those years ago was much needed… his perspective, vibes and interactions with the locals will forever be great! Bonus that he’s finally visiting my motherland too 😛🇧🇩
All the Bangladeshis in my neighborhood want me to go visit there. I speak some Hindi, Urdu, and really picked up Bengali. Cox Bazaar, Seyhlet, Chittagong are places I'm told to go. And of course Dahka to experience pure insanity.
well everywhere is save if it is bald, coz he look like a mafia boss
And Balds Trip to Mexico I think with Backpacker and another Guy, I can't remember his name now. Damnnit. They were Hilarious.
Ai..
since youre from bangladesh can you please explain to me why everyone just stares at you over there lmao, ive seen so many videos on tiktok of the same thing happening lol
The 'random' Argentina flag it is because the Bangladeshi are big football fans! And as I was told by some of them, most support either Argentina or Brazil. During the 2022 World Cup, Bangladeshi fans supported Argentina like no other foreign country! Being Argentinean, this was amazing to see and we are very thankful for it. I hope our national team will go and play in Bangladesh one day (especially before Messi retires), your people deserve it!
Thank you man. Argentina will always have a special place in our heart.
Man , we have been eagerly waiting to see Argentina Win the world cup. Finally dream came true .
You have no idea how much Argentina fans in Bangladesh, I think we have so many Argentina fans then your country population
You're right, and Argentina is supported more than Brazil. Like it's kind of 60-40 or 65-35 for Argentina-Brazil.
Thanks for your respect
What an interesting viewpoint of Bangladesh. Every person he encounters seems to want to display the best representation of their country. All the people seem to be helpful, polite, curious, and excited. The wave off was epic! It's great seeing random people coming up to Bald and saying "I'm a subscriber", all across the world.
What a feeling that must be.
@@kaivrock For him and he help us to carry with him.
I thought Bald came off as really rude when he barely acknowledged the guy who said he was a subscriber. He didn't even bother turning around to talk to him, and instead just gave a half-assed 'thank you' with his back turned. That rubbed me the wrong way.
@@jazzfeline5970he does a lot of slick shit like that 😂 all you gotta do is pay attention
@@ronloc3309yea
Ben, YOU are the content, whether being led into a corrugated iron shop, or being stared at by the locals. Thank you so very much for these wonderful videos!
Completely. Well said, thank you Ben.
I'm always amused that what Ben considers "no content," I'm just sitting here watching it utterly entertained by everything lol. It's the spontaneity of it all. The only thing I'm missing is a bit better communication as with his other videos, but this still sits nice, with me sipping my coffee and smiling at his experiences as usual.
Shall I bring 1 smile to make it a pair and 2 straws for the coffee so we can share ? .. that Rhymes, I'm a poet and I don't know it 😌🙏🏼🏴....
Did Benjamin not see the corrugated metal shop?😆
We can't expect him to be fluent in every language and dialect haha, how many languages can you speak in native dialects / accents?
@@Jordan-rb28 No no, I don't mean that. I just mean that it's a bit better if he can talk to the people a bit, or if he can have a translator or a type of guide with him when he goes to places where he doesn't. It would be cool if he got in touch with a subscriber of a place he wants to go to and they can take him around :)
I'm in Canada. We're forced to take french as a second language in school from kindergarden to grade 10, lol
It's not about the content. Many other channels also have got great Bangladesh travel videos. But, it's about the way Bald presents his videos that make them so enjoyable and worth watching. 😊😊
He embodies the spirit and glee of the traveller that we wish we all had (unfortunately, we're probably more like his traveling partner
@@scientifico I vividly recall my Trips to new Countries when I was in my 20's ,, its THAT Spirit which he NAILS, every time . He is forever YOUNG at Heart ..
He embraces the culture and the challenges that come with it wherever he goes. That's what sets him apart. He shows the good, bad, and ugly and has the personality to make it all entertaining.
@@srgaming1445 He has an AMAZING Personality ... I honestly think he could do an entire TALK SHOW with ease... the guy is extremely Talented.
Straight colonialistic
I honestly burst out laughing when you flipped the camera and those people just stood there😂😂😂😂
What a goofy country, feels like a weird Family guy episode
That was hilarious, and the fact they didnt even talk after
Also after he got off the boat. It's like they've never seen a white man before
Okay, you probably forgot when you looting this is goofy country which by the way used to be wealthiest region in the world
Yeah they’re zombies over there
@Ghost-ms3wi Don't embarrass yourself by saying that England invaded Bengal for tea.Ask the king from where those gems came from in his crown. Looting is the only thing you are good at
The people in Bangladesh really do seem very friendly and kind. Lots of hard working people in a tough place to survive. Wish the best toall Bangladeshis from Taiwan.
It's always nice to see locals being so friendly and welcoming...
Lol you watched that? This is mess
It is the opposite of the state I live, Ohio.
That Rickshaw guy was very honest. He even told you that he didn't have any change but later he figure that you'd given him a tip. The district you visited is Chandpur. It's famous for a certain fish that's called Ilish or Hilsha. Ilish is the national fish of Bangladesh. If you have the chance of tasting this fish, do give it a try. There are fancy restaurants that you can visit if you're too scared of getting stomach flu.
Meningitis is a few steps worse than a stomach flu
Hope it wasn't caught in the same river the dead cow was in?!
@@jilbertb Hilsha is a salt water fish. It only travels towards fresh water to lay eggs. Majority of Hilsha is caught in Padma river. And the dead cow footage was probably shot in Buriganga river. Sadly the river is very much polluted. Though there are fishes in Buriganga, no Hilsha can be found there.
A normal western tourist would probably get very sick to eat even at the luxury restaurant
@@Redstripe921 then there must be something wrong with their digestive system.
You said "no content"...but that girl discovering you on the boat is my all-time favorite moment on your show! You made her month🥰🤩
The most beautiful moment😂
The way Ben presents Backpacker Ben always killing me 😄
“No meningitis today, thank you. Thank you, maybe later” Now that was pure comedy gold, Ben. Thank you for the good laugh.
That was offensive actually, not funny.
To you maybe.
@@gonrossi lighten up man
lmaoo that was great.
it's simply the truth... i work in an immigration centre and you can't imagine how many diseases immigrants from bangladesh, sri lanka, niger, pakistan, etc carry......... we had to work with gloves and didn't touch any immigrants until they did a check up in a hospital.... there were even people with ebola.....@@gonrossi
It’s not possible for a video to give me extreme anxiety and absolute joy at the same time, but Bald delivers on both! 😬❤️
I know exactly what you mean!
A mix of “oh god, wtf!!” and “I’d like to experience that”
bald is so charismatic, hes almost magical in how he can interweave in any setting. a genius in his field, which is charm and charisma.
@@deathvalleybro9320 couldn’t agree more! 😎
Ikr?! He's very courageous and unflappable in his optimistic nature. It all looks so overwhelming at times!
2 uploads in 1 week? You are truly blessing us Mr Bald!!
And then there were none for 7 months
🤣
@@vickyvirk4424 yup 😢
I believe he will be doing plenty in UK and that should be interesting .plenty of beautiful quaint villages there.
"this place has 0 content". Honestly that is the magic of your videos. I get so entertained with watching the boring nothing of other places I would never go in my life and how everyone is as confused as you trying to help you😂 I love it!!
Having Bald back in the RUclips fray, is like a breath of fresh air.
You've been missed my man.
That cruise looked far more comfortable than the boat in South America. Ben's random curiousity in jumping in a tricycle and asking the driver where are we going rather than giving directions.
I don't know how he walks around all day without a hat... I would have heat stroke by 10am
The sweat on the bald head reflects the light and heat i guess 😂
A Rickshaw though I guess it's a tricycle.
Before the British invasion Bengal was the one of the most Shipbuilding area in the world.
I read tom cruise lmao
Bald, your content has to be by far, the most spontaneous, captivating, and yet informative all and much more. Your love for other cultures is wonderfully pronounced as you share your journeys with us while respecting the culture of the people and make them a very big part of your production. You are amongst my all time favorites! Also enjoy the great laughter mixed within your brilliant way of shooting your content, one of the best by far. Keep up your uniqueness and special way with individuals.
Blessings Kim from Canada 🙏

I'd say this channel is quickly becoming my favorite travel channel, but honestly, at this point, it's simply moved into a league of its own.
@@hellooohowareudoingWhat rumours?
@@hellooohowareudoing Not really rumours when you do the research and see that the evidence is clear as day 🤣 nevertheless, I still watch him because he’s very entertaining
Who’s Alan Whicker?
@@horill123 what did he do ?
@@user-wt4gw2bg6m Google it or go on the subreddit dedicated to this (which I’m not gonna name). It’s not my place to share that here so go make your own conclusions, not to mention he has blacklisted a lot of keywords in his channel’s comments which means my comment will just be hidden if I say anything too specific
I cannot believe the amount of noise pollution in Bangladesh. I would go deaf in no time if I lived there. Thank you Mr Bald for showing me a place in the world that I will never visit. I appreciate your sacrifice. Thank you.
The city you visited is called Chandpur, pronounced like "chad-pur". The park is a tourist attraction because it is situated right beside the confluence of three rivers: Padma, Meghna, and Dakatia. These rivers converge here and flow southward as a single river, eventually emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The other side of the river is called 'Puran Bazar' which translates to 'Old Market'. It was a famous business hub back when the river was the primary way of transportation. At peak monsoon, the triple confluence becomes a dangerous whirlpool. Small boats, even those equipped with engines, often cannot pass by the junction at that time of the year. And yes, the city is renowned for its Hilsa fish. Fish from the southern parts of the country arrive here before being distributed to other regions along with the local catch.
Absolutely riveting mate
'tourist attraction' 😂😂😂
How do you differentiate between the local catch and fish 🐟 from the southern parts?
@@vut_zarco Well, fish from the southern parts are caught in the sea while the local ones are netted in the rivers. They are slightly different in size, shape, colour, and taste. Fresh-water (river) hilsa are a bit fatter and shorter than salt-water (sea) ones. The local ones are also a bit brighter and may have a light red spot along the middle. They also taste better compared to the salt-water hilsa.
At least ur english is good 👍
"and to prove that point, here's a statue.. of a fish" that was hilarious 😂
Its crazy how hectic India and Bangladesh are, I honestly cant imagine living there. Thank you for the content, S tier as always.
India isnt hectict as this. India is much much better than this!
@@parassharma7800 by better you mean people defecating in public
Then sure 😂
@@parassharma7800please don't give false information...
It depends on where you live in Bangladesh mate. There are really beautiful places in Bangladesh (after all it's the largest delta in the world with the largest mangrove forest inhabited by bengal tigers and the longest unbroken beach called cox's bazar) and there are places like Dhaka ( most crowded city on earth). Dhaka is the black sheep of the country, and does not represent the country in any form.
Learn to spell before you criticize another country.
I love sitting back and feeling as if I am experiencing a different culture from my living room. Genuinely one of the best to do this content, if not THE best.
@jackmorgan2747 and in a quiet sense U thanking the GODS that this is not ur every days Life.

I have genuinely not laughed out loud at a video on RUclips as much as I have watching Bald’s adventures in Bangladesh. This place is wild.
I am Bangladeshi and even I feel so out of place in countryside😭
Imagine being a foreigner💀
The sheer brass balls/humour and sense of adventure from B&B makes him so addictive to watch. Personally, hell would freeze over before I would consider Bangladesh/India/Pakistan as places I would ever want to visit, but B&B just takes it all in his stride and never fails to entertain us.
Yea it takes lots of courage to roam freely the Indian subcontinent, probably bald still have those old British genes of explorer.
Yes, I would just be annoying to them as a visitor. Asking for cleanliness and hygienic food to eat that doesn't make it feel like the world falling out your arse hole 5mns after eating it would just be something they could not achieve .....@@sophianaqvi3697
Just go to the Maldives, you'll meet more than enough Bangladeshi people there.
He reminds me how huge and weird and beautiful the world is.
Totally agree. @@akeithing1841
What a nightmare! Full respect to Ben, you deserve every penny you make on these videos!!!
For real, I got anxiety just from watching this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, I rarely heard anything bad about Bangladesh. I want to visit Bangladesh so much. Love Bangladesh from Indonesia
You know it's going to be a good day when you catch a new VID from Mr. Bald 🤪. Love being able to travel to different parts of the world while staying right at home!
The people were so friendly! I learned a lesson about the people and culture of Bangladesh. Thank you for your hard work, and I hope your stomach feels better.
If you define friendliness by how much someone stares at you while beaming unnervingly, yes, you're correct
I'm amazed how this guy can can keep me so entertained even when he is only walking in random places. Really the best channel on youtube
Its the raw footage, the raw commentary, the banter, etc its all authentic it seems. It also nice to see the positive exchanges with strangers in a strange land. Refreshing I would say.
What he does isn't easy either, the 24 hour train journeys, the terrible hotels and the heat in Bangladesh is overwhelming and you can't even trust the water, Ben is a hardcore traveller doing this.
that was adorable at 15:10 he tried so hard to figure out the word in English
He's doing good apparently
this dude is a straight legend
indeed
A legend in his own mind!
Meh
Entertaining.
I lost it when he walked into the iron shop, «i’m interested in buying everything that you got in the shop» 😂
Bengali-American from NYC here. Thanks for visiting BD Ben! (flag) -The Argentina and Brazil national football teams have a unique almost religious following in BD.
Watching my favorite youTuber come to Bangladesh and experiencing our culture makes me so happy, wish I could meet him
“Sometimes in life you gotta go with the flow, see what happens.” Words to live by.
This, just make sure your brain isn't shut off during the process.
Literally read this as he hopped onto a bike with a random dude driving it and asks “where are we going?” LMAO
That could be either a good or a bad thing.
The content is the experience. You get to feel what it's like as best one can over the internet, and that's far better than another video of another tourist spot.
Ben, this content is up there with some of the best from your channel. I could go on about what you do and your impact on the world, but that’s boring, so just don’t stop. Bloody marvellous.
As a Scandinavian who loves cleanliness and has social anxiety this looks like hell on earth.
I know what you mean. And then the noise! I would die....
@@RS-dl2xp Yeah, the noises and smells too..
I'm English and I felt the same way watching this!
We won the spawn lottery. But I guess most of them know no better and feel at home there.
Visit Bangladesh..
And feel the nature also find your answer why do more people live in the country..
You will find an answer that it is like heaven.. Thats why huge people live here with in a small land.
This is def CONTENT, don't underestimate the value these exploration videos bring. It is perspective for many.
I was twice in Bangladesh in the eighties and always wanted to make a river cruise like that, but never managed. Great video and a pleasure to watch.
The social anxiety would be bad enough for me, but the noise, I just couldn't handle all the horns, sirens, hammers hitting metal, yelling, etc.
this mans confidence to vlog in the sight of so many eyes is inspiring
I know right, sometimes I couldn’t even raise my phone to just take a one photo!!
It’s always a good day when the big B&B uploads!
And see interesting people. I noticed a lot of Bangladeshi in the video have Ginger beards. How funny.
No matter where you roam, “The king has arrived”. Incredible as always.😊❤
Muslim greeting and that lovely handshake captured my heart. How he took bald's right hand with his left hand and had a handshake with his paralysed right hand, he can't do it properly anymore,but still he greeted. That was very sweet
You are more than words. Thank you for all you are doing for us .
he's a ROCKSTAR!
6:30 - this might be my favorite bald moment of all time. A crowd just standing and staring. Not attempting to chat or anything. Just watching like he's a performing monkey or something.
4:56 I don't know much Bangla but I can figure out what she said here, it's "Dekho Bideshi Manush" which means, "Look a foreigner man".
You're the RUclipsr that finds rocks and turns them into diamonds. Unbelievable your spirit is so strong and you turn what would be rough rocks into their inner shining diamond. You deserve all that you have and then some! Thank you for all the content you have provided me over the years.
Thanks for showing us the places we never want to visit but still want to see ❤
I and two others did an overnight river journey 20 years ago. We paid for 3rd class, which meant sleeping with motorbikes, chickens and other people out the back. Even us miserly backpackers decided to upgrade, and found ourselves promoted to shared bunk bed area with other families, but no chickens. Cabin area had a massive rotating fan, and was next to one of the ferry's toilets. The smell that the fan politely wafted in for us was most sobering to say the least.
Quite an enjoyable journey, and yes we were well observed throughout.
16:52 The very best part of the video and I am proud Bangladeshi
The village side of Bangladesh is indeed peaceful and has beautiful green scenery. It's a great place to connect with nature and experience the tranquility. 🌿🌾
When you turned the camera around @6:38, I burst out laughing. Good stuff.
I liked how honest the people are.
Bro travels in the most unique and unusual way! Hats off to you, and lots of love from Bangladesh!
The “dog having a shit in the river” killed me.
They bathe in that.
@@eternalbeing3339 no they don't
"We're traveling three or four hours down the river to a town called Chunda-something." LOVE IT.
It's like hitting the 'dice' feature on Google earth - you never know where Ben will end up. And it's all marvelous to watch.
And GREAT fun tracking on Google Earth, at Chandpur, it's easy to see the ferry dock and to the SW, the fish statue labeled "Sculpture of Hilsha" and the "Children's park" near the Boro Station...The last video and the start of this video was at the Sadarghat Launch Terminal on the Buriganga River across from the Docker Ghat "shipyard" on the south side of Dhaka... Easy to confirm with street view, the bridge scene with all the trash, is the third bridge in from directly across the river from the terminal...Cheers
Ben, you are golden! Best attitude for a traveler, no matter what the weather. I haven't been to India in a long time but still remember that level of constant noise like no other places. Going out there it's like stepping into the battlefield.
Its Bangladesh. Its worse than India.

@@alexandramccarthy4648 yes I understand but India is so huge that there are places in snow covered mountains that look like Europe.

That super awkward moment when Bald finds Ben in his room pretending to sleep (which wasn’t planned and practiced multiple times… nope!) 😂😂😂
The locals seem so down to earth and nice. I loved how they all surrounded you on the boat 😂 and the send off you got. Won’t get that anywhere else 😅

i love how you close the cabin door with the key and shut the window closed, so there is really no sense for that key xD you still get inside through the window. brilliant work right there
17:00 what a compliment to the Bangladeshi people mate !
What do you mean no content? That was excellent! I really love watching you interact with the locals, so much fun, keep it up.
I like how wherever he went it always sounded and felt like the world was ending. with sirens and horns and people hustling everywhere
As much as I miss Mr Bald exploring the old Soviet Union, I have to say his videos now are even better, if that’s possible.👍👍👍✌️
No way, those videos are priceless! It's so obvious how much joy Bald feels being in the Soviet Union and also being able to communicate and totally vibe with the culture. Sometimes in these vids and in Latin America I worried for his safety.
They got old. The world is more than just the old Soviet Union.
Eye opening for me too. There are lots of workers from Bangladesh in Singapore. Sometimes it's easy to confuse them with peeps from India. Looking at the map, it looks as if nicer areas are more towards the centers of those places. Great video. Dhan'yabāda😆
Bangladeshi are more trustworthy than indians
Most of the cases I am putting comments when I want to criticize someone but this one is exception. You are one of the best bloggers in the tube, your content is top notch and I really like to see how tru the years you get more humble and reduce the sarcastic UK behaviour. Many people have no idea and will not stay even one hour in that places especially Bangladesh but your approach and behaviour with the locals is great. Keep ongoing with your work we all appreciate it. Cheers pal!
for those who don't travel: his opening said it all. You get so so excited from day to day but what it all does to your body is BRUTAL. Traveling to third world countries is great but you have no idea how taxing it is on your body because it's been so pampered by a lifetime of clean water and unspoiled food, mostly clean air, etc..
Much love and thank you for the countless hours of entertainment you provide!
I am so happy you are back in this part of the world. It's interesting to see you interact with the locals and talk about the history of the region.
Bangladesh seems like a lot of fun, crazy place! Can't wait to visit it!
Thank you Bald for your Humorous Banter with the Calm, Friendly folks of Bangladesh. Safe Travels
You might say this one has little content, but I honestly found it as chock full as many other videos with more eccentric adventures. Absolutely fascinating to see a city and life so unlike my own that i could not even fathom this is how it was until i saw it here.
6:38 lol that's too weird, I would not be able to handle all that staring. The noise, crowdedness, pollution, staring and overall chaos of Bangladesh would be hell for me, they might be friendly people, but I could never visit.
Yes i agree with you Don't visit this country i am from Bangladesh.
The 7 people staring when you turned the camera was amazing 😂
I'd I was editing it the video would have ended there, then no uploads for 2 years. Would ha e turned it into a horror show ;)
Your content is second to none!! Thank you so much for going to these places less traveled and showing the rest of us what it is like!! I hope to be able to travel to parts unknown like this one day too!
Who is none? Bald cant be second to him.
Ben said there's no content in this place but to be honest we'd all be watching him walking through a desert and still find it entertaining
@@markmark2080what content is he referring to bro
