I made it safely. Today's my 2nd full day in Dhaka. I don't have a ton of time to write right now...but I've eaten lots of rice, with my hands of course, gotten some fabric at the market for my salwar kameez, went to the tailor to have my salwar kameeze (plural) made, ate in a bangladeshi home where the hospitality blew my mind, been on a couple rickshaws, have sweated a fair amout and have felt more alive than I have felt in a long time....
Life on the other side of the world is gritty, beautiful and is proving to raise lots of questions. it's good.
Details of the moment: I will be staying in Dhaka until Tuesday, then I will head North with other MCCers to my host family's home (where apparently they have gotten new furniture, painted their house and cleaned everything thoroughly for my arrival!), and I will also see some of the Agriculture programs the MCC has further north as well...lots of orientation and conversations and questions...and I am definately still getting over jet lag....
I'll write more later when I feel less pressed for time..
Thanks so much for your emails and comments....means more than you know.
peace.

Yay! You made it! I love hearing about everything on your "globber" (as Gma likes to call it). :) You have a wonderfully descriptive voice. Keep us posted as you are able...put pix up if you can!
Love,
Amy
yeah! I'm so glad you are there, feeling alive and well, and riding rickshaws! I've been praying (still waiting for the MCC to tell me how to support you ;) and all that jazz. I'm so excited for you!
