Yesterday was the first day that i really experience the culture of Dhaka, The traffic here is just insane, GNC, cars, rickshaws, horse and carriage, and buses on a street 2 times smaller than America. The people here are so open and very tolerant of others. Seeing the influence of the Chinese, the Monhenjo-Daro empire, the Persian, and the British is incredible. The food is a little spicy, but it makes you sweat more which helps to cool your body more. The weather is steamy and muggy in Dhaka 35 degrees celisius, upper 90's in U.S. I love the food, the taste just lingers in your mouth and its very fulling. Curry and more curry and rice. I had beef curry, rice with a dal soup over the top, lobster curry, a shrimp ball, and pea and lentil spread for dinner last night the only thing missing was the nan (bread). Hoping to eat a sharwma (a Bangladeshi gyro) and ride a rickshaw soon. I have also tried vegetable tempura, and vegetable biryini. The best thing was the tea and samosa that we had with the faculty at Dhaka University. What a snack. I would love to here what all of you have to say. You call also follow me on the following website. gcepbd.ning.com. Looking to see all of you soon.
