Yeah...Try to apply the same 'methodology' to the average Bangladeshi and see what happens......Heck, he/she may even know what a camera is.
What is that supposed to mean? Most USA citizens are so ignorant that they do not know the language of the country that they work in. For example, most USA or Western citizens do not know any Arabic even if they had lived many years in Saudi Arabia. Yet, villagers from BD who has never lived in Dhaka or any city for any length of time would pick up Arabic language within a few months of their stay in Saudi Arabia (or other Arabic speaking countries). The same is mostly true for Bangladeshis in Malaysia or Korea, for instance. Now one may claim that Bangladesh is poorer than those countries, so Bangladeshis must adjust to their way of life.
In that case, Qatar is wealthier than USA/Western countries, yet Westerners/USA citizens do not pick up the language of Qatar when they live and work there. Likewise, Japan is much wealthier than BD, but when Japanese volunteers work in BD, they almost always speak Bangla language, wear Bangladeshi dress (mostly female Japanese volunteers), and do not whine about lack of alcohol or other silly issues like Westerners do.
