Ready to go?

"so are you all ready to go?" this is a question I have been asked approximately 40 times in the last week. The answer at the moment is no. I am pretty sure if someone asked me on the plane that question the answer would still be no. How does anybody prepare to up sticks and move about 7000 miles? still i can become more ready very easily. Firstly by obtaining a visa and secondly by starting to pack. Thirdly for organising what stuff i want to store and what my parents can sell. This all has to happen within the next 10 days or so :S. Busy times! As well as this I have started to look at how to speak Bangla and I am daunted to say the least. I cant even prenounce all the letters at the moment so it will take a lot of work. The fact that there are 11 vowels and 4 of them use the a character also doesnt make for quick learning. a on its own is supposed to make a u sound eg run. this confuses me when i look at words and try to say them. i'm sure i will get there eventually....

If there is anything in particular you ever want to know about my life in Bangladesh dont hesitate to ask me and i will do my best to answer...

If you have found this blog however you will already know this. This blog will be one way to catch up with me over the next couple of years. alternatively add me on skype (samuel.giblett) or send me an email (sjgiblett@hotmail.co.uk). I will be putting a slice of what my life out there is like on this blog (and hopefully it will be regular)...
