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...
