So Ive moved. Thats a long story in itself! Ive been here for 3 weeks and i have come to one conclusion: Bangladesh is whacked out of its head. Its been taking LSD or something cause it is just insanity. To start with its like 35 degrees c outside (+ humidity) but wearing shorts is some crazy thing westeners do and if you do wear them you get stared at. Not to mention what women are expected to wear. Then there is driving in Dhaka. I cannot tell you how petrifing the first drive off the plane was. No indicators, no lanes(there were lanes but no one uses them), no real sides to the road, trafficlights that are just a suggestion. I will have to explain traffic properly at a later date.
Will give more detail later but for now the journey:
18 hours of basically sat on a train with a screen. Except you feel very conspicuous when you are the only person on the plane with white skin. Still we flew over some interesting countries. i even made a list:
England
Belgium
Holland
Germany
Czech Republic
Slovakia
Romania
Black sea
Turkey
Iraq (right over Bhagdad)
Kuwayt
Qatar
UAE
Pakistan
India
and Bangladesh.
The only real conclusion i can draw from flying for the first time is that my legs are too long and i should not make the mistake of getting a window seat ever again.
Its currently tipping it down with rain - meaning its more humid - meaning more ppl are gonna turn their AC on meaning power cuts! Therefor i am going to post it now. pics of BD to follow soon on FB
