The Rickshaw Capital of the World.







After a wonderful night of sleep, I am enjoying every minute of my new adventure. Everything has been absolutely been wonderful and the friends and connections that I have made will definitely change my life and the lives of others. I teach so much about culture in the classroom, but out in the real world, little things make all the difference. At dinner tonight Nazrul, Lazina, Eaither, Jack and I had a wonderful conversation about culture and how we should handle our differences. So many time we want to use our force against others, when she should follow the concept of tolerance and conversation. From the rickshaw driver, to the waiter at the restaurant, to the hotel staff, and especially the staff of relief international-Bangladesh, we have seen nothing but tolerance and hospitality. I am trying to download pictures, hopefully have them on in the next couple of days. Zachary, Andrew, Megan, and Joshua and to all of my students remember that you are never too old to learn and be educated. I hope that you are following my site and look forward to this wonderful culture experiment.
