Not exactly the highlight of my around-the-world experiences! Avoid, if it can be helped! I worked in Dhaka and Chittagong. I loathed the Sheraton hotel in Dhaka (admittedly after having been spoilt in Kuala Lumpur) but was very happy to return there rather than spend another night in Chittagong.
Yep, I've been to Chittagong and it is tough. Been to all 7 continents and Greenland--merchant shipping. Chittagong was the most poverty stricken place I saw anywhere in the world. I heard lagos, Nigeria is tough too, but it would have to be 2nd to Chittagong. One image I can't get out of my mind is a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old just sleeping on the streets abandoned and huddled together. Unbelievable!
Most of these "deshis" seemed like they were pretty happy to me though. Their religion is strange.
