Another wonderful day in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Jack and I went to the Gazipur Boys School and I had a chance to talk again with Shubhim Roy the exchange student who visited my school last year. It was wonderful to see him doing well, and meet the wonderful students and staff of the School, Jack and I also went shopping at the market today and bought a Punjabi and gifts for our families. We also had another great lunch, I had to order the food and did a wonderful job, thank you students for teaching me about your culture. The meal was vegetable pakura, prawn rolls, (a type of fish), mutton biryini, beef takil (may have spelled it wrong, but it was very spicy and wonderful, chicken tikka, and garlic nan, (a pita bread) and a mango lassie for the drink. There is a unique flavor of this food and I will miss it when I get home. There is a lot more spice in this food, then back at school. Today was a lot quieter, but more personal than yesterday. I loved the historical day yesterday visiting the forts and museums, but today was about the things I love to do, teaching students, family, and fellowship with others. Pictures will come later.
Greeting to everyone at the Gazipur Boys School. I hope that Shubham Roy is doing well. He is a very intelligent young man and will go far.
