Where Bangladesh trips people up
India is a wrong choice for Dhaka and again for Bangladesh's flag and outline. In the flag round the other choices are Japan, Palau and India. The shape question offers India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. India is on both lists.
One trivia question is “Bangladesh became independent in 1971 from which country?” (Pakistan). Then: “What currency does Bangladesh use?” (Taka). In numbers we hold a population of 175 million and independence in 1971. Explorer has one Bangladesh photo: Mosque City of Bagerhat.
