This is my signing off blog, the last of the O'Bangladesh series. I have much to say but not enough gusto to eloquently tell the tales as they should be told, so this will be brief. The politically situation here is the same as it has been, seige and hartals. As of this last Monday, Dhaka was cut off from the rest of the country, the rest of the world, as the Awami League cut off the cities borders from the outside world. While this sounds extreme it has become normal, everyday life here and it does not limit me in my everyday activities.
Tomorrow is turkey day and in preparation for the feast I watched the boys, Tim, Nabil, and Steve, slaughter a turkey on the rooftop of Nabil's appartment. I knew it would be disgusting, but I wanted to watch anyways. It was most definitely disgusting, but miraculously enough it only takes a total of 15 minutes to kill and completely gut and clean the bird. Amazing huh?
Well i have 8 days left in this crazy beautiful country. It's time to take those pictures that I've been meaning to take, and gather the last minute christmas gifts.
Lame entry? Yes. Will I be more than happy to tell those who ask tales that I have omitted from the blog? Yes. Hope all is well. Inshallah I will see everyone soon. Khuda haphej!
