2 words: SISTER ACT.
Me, Shilpi at Sungarden (I think that is the name) An area outside Dhaka, with all sort sorts of pre British architecture...We had a holiday so we did a bit of sight seeing--it was nice to see other Bangladeshis taking pictures, and not just me!We were going to go to the museum, but alas, it was closed. So we ate some puska instead.. it is becoming my favorite snack here. They have a fried outter shell with mashed lentils, chilli, and other curry spices on the inside. you pour a vinigar and spice mixture over them. mmmm.
soooo good.
UPPER LEFT: me, trying to open a nice, WELL TAPED letter from dear friend Alaina. I had to get out the big guns to do it. It was so artistic though! it even had a dried flower in scotch tape heaven. The beauty of snail mail in Bangladesh is that I get a BUNCH at a time, because it gets sent to Dhaka first and eventually makes it's way to Mymensingh....it was soooo fun to open letters--all at once, it is better than the feeling of Christmas morning when I was 5!
Teaching is going well, even though ambiguous. I know english, yes. I think I know how to teach it, but it is so hard to judge what they already know and need to work on. Today, with the beginner class we went on a "vocabulary walk" it fun to see them learning a new way for saying something they see everyday.
Now I must go, take rickshaw back to the Mission and give and the rest of my english assessment test.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Americans out there............
