Cheap vs. not cheap:
Tehari at roadside restaurants, Tk. 25.00 - Cheap!
Biryani at Gulshan's Snack bars, Tk 250.00 - Not so cheap.
They taste pretty much the same.
Dress shirts at Gausia Market Tk 260.00 - Cheap
Same Shirt at "Catseye" Tk 2000.00 - Not so cheap
Lunch at Khushbu, Elephant Road, Tk 120.00 - Cheap
Lunch at Samarkand, Gulshan, Tk 800.00 - Not so cheap.
Rent a car, van, bus - reasonably cheap
Rent a helicopter - available, not so cheap.
It is all dependant on the lifestyle you want to enjoy & have the ability to support. Everything is available in these new, grand, luxarious shopping plazas. Indian tourists, I have come across a few recently in Dhaka, find themselves short of cash due to underestimation of costs in Dhaka for their style.
Common courtesy, help, if you need any, directions - these are the cheapest. They are free and readily available.This has been my experience.
