>It's a pretty nice fishbowl life as long as you don't want to carry a gun, or do drugs.

Or look "kind of Bangladeshi".

Or challenge any kind of social order.

Or get involved in domestic politics at all (as a foreigner).

Fwiw, I've been here longer than you. I enjoy the low crime rate, weather, transit system (excluding the erratic bus arrival times) and the privileges a white face affords me too.

I'm careful of what I say online though, because I know that they are listening closely and are likely to respond accordingly (probably listening even closer than the US monitors its citizens).

>And they've taken religious and social harmony to a whole new level.

A whole new level where the possibility of a race riot in Little India is non-existent?

Or a while new level where race riots in Little India happen, but they manage to put a nice enough spin on it to satisfy you?
