Anyone visited the Tea Gardens in Sylhet? such a wonderful place. Take a train and travel across the countryside and watch the beautiful scenario(has been mentioned before in this thread).

places I wanted to visit:

- lal bagher kella
- Sundarban
- Cox Bazaar

in Dhaka: Places to visit/Things to eat

- must have some Hajiir Biriyani
- must have fuuchka/chotpoti(eat at your own discretion, may Give you stomach problems)/jhal muri
- visit Shahid Minaar
- visit Shriti Shaoudho
- visit Shongshod Bhobon (or walk past it)

MUST TRY FOOD from maatir chula(the oven/stove is made out of clay), food tastes super awesome, Alhamdulillah...
must play cricket with local lads
squat toilet (takes a while to get used to, but it may be healthier)
visit farm, watch others work in the farm, slaughter a chicken
playing luddu/caroom with polapain to pass time

most of these things have probably been mentioned here before, so my apologies in advance

Havn't been to Bangladesh since 2004, I wonder how much of the country has changed since my description of it...

Kabir bhai has nailed this thread. I should check his posts in this thread the next time i go visit Bangladesh.(Given that i stay there for more than two weeks, so that i have enough time to do stuff)
