Week of Travel

We spent the week after Christmas traveling around. I've tried but I can't think of a way to describe what the trip was like. I'll just share some pictures and you can imagine what you will in between. We hit the beach at Cox's Bazar, monopolized on the serenity of Molumghat, and then entered the "Chaos Capitol of South Asia" in Dhaka.













We met a lot of new people. A couple of whom shared some philosophical pointers for coping with life here. One said, "Chittagong bites." This is helpful to remember when trying to describe a bad day. For example one could say, "Today it bit me hard."

Also we learned that "living in Bangladesh is like a roller coaster. Somtimes it's okay." (Imagine his hand moving steadily upwards like an airplane taking off. "Other times...." (Picture the hand turning downwards rapidly... it never came back up again).

Philosophically speaking, it's great to be back in the apartment we call home.

That picture of Titus makes him look so grown up! Maybe because that's what he's doing. Thank you for your posts!

If you live in Bangladesh, does that mean that you can wear saris? I've always wanted a way to wear a sari where I didn't look like a poser- they're so beautiful.
