Finally I'm writing something...

I have finally decided to write something...I probably cannot promise you with comical or captivating commentary of my stay here; however, I will try to at least entertain you to the best of my ability. I am a first time blog user.

Perhaps I should give you some facts about Bangladesh?

#1 fact: Bangladesh is the size of Wisconsin. Now, take half of the people living in the U.S. and squeeze them into Wisconsin=Bangladesh.

Okay, that's all the facts that you need to know. The flight from Bahrain to Dhaka was interesting, I realized right away that there were only five females on the flight, all GW students. All the men were migratory workers having occupations in the oil industry outside of Bangladesh in the Bahrain/Saudi Arabia region. Incredible flight, I don't think anyone stayed seated, even during take off or the landing. 

I didn't think I would be intimidated living in Bangladesh; however, right when I walked out of the airport I was enclosed by a rectangular fence teeming with people on all sides staring at the people coming out. I couldn't see anything beyond the fence because of the mountains of people who were surrounding the airport peering in through it's slits. Finally I hopped into a car, and exited through a gate, but of course the car couldn't get through the huge crowds, the car finally crawled through and we were off onto the main road! At every stop people would come up to our windows asking for money and staring at us, unwilling to stop tapping at our faces, everyone including children to people with leprosy. I'm pretty sure.... yes, that everyone was silent in my car.
