Things can be different

This is definitely one thing that is different in Bangladesh - moving from one apartment to another is done manually. Meaning that huge amount of stuff is loaded to a two-wheel-"vehicle", which is pulled by the person. And this is not the only thing carried that way. The same method is used when distributing products, carrying raw materials for building houses, deliverying furniture from the shop to the client etc. Sometimes you can see one guy pulling the "vehicle" and one or two others sitting on it, so that when the puller gets tired, another person can take over. The rate for such a service is negotiable as everything else in Bangladesh. Couple of kilometres long distance together with loading and unloading last time for us cost 250 Taka (50 EEK). If a local negotiates then it's obviously cheaper.
