Pictures and Reponse to Comments

Thank you so much for the comments about my posts. Culture is such an interesting topic. Today during breakfast Jack had a bowl of dal and a Pakistani gentleman came over, took the spoon and proceeded to eat some of the dal without asking. The gentlemen thought we were rude because we looked at him strangely. I hope that you see the differences in this illustration. There are many things that we as Americans must watch, while we are here. It is rude to show the bottom of your feet and point your feet at someone. The thumb up gesture is also considered rude and highly offensive and I have to be very careful. Another thing that we must adjust to is the rolling power outages. When these happen we lose power for an hour. To answer some of your questions, Devin and Ryan I have drank about 20 1.5liter bottles of water. I use the bottled water for drinking purposes and brushing teeth. The going rate for a bottle of water is 25 taka, or about 27 cents a bottle. Steven and Sierra, when we flew from Chicago to Abu Dhabi, we flew over the Mediterranean Sea. We were one of a few flights to take off from Chicago that day. We were supposed to fly over Iceland and Europe. Zach and Jonah, they grow and sell many things here in Bangladesh, jute used for many rope, baskets, and carpets or rugs, rice, coconut, watermelon, mango, and many other items. They also use natural gas instead of diesel and gasoline. Dalton and Kolton, I would probably say removing your shoes before entering their home, but maybe my students can think of other things. Merritt and Nathan, you are frown about very highly because you are sort of disrespecting their beliefs. I thank you all for the wonderful comments. Looking forward to more of the comments.
