So, how about Dhaka?

Now that I've done all this vacationing... I guess the question is how is life in Dhaka?

I know I've said it before, but the traffic is getting truly unbearable. Today I got dropped off at Avera, a local salon/spa, to get a manicure and pedicure, and James went with our driver to pick up raita and naan from a local Indian restaurant, about a mile away. It took them 35 MINUTES EACH WAY. I ended up standing outside Avera, bored and unable to play with my Blackberry for fear of messing up my nails. It was depressing.

Otherwise, it's all good. I was on the radio today to talk about exchange programs. Hopefully I didn't sound like too much of a rambling idiot. We have a busy few weeks coming up, so there should be a lot going on pretty consistently.

And the weather is nice now! Perfect temps in the 70s every day. Of course, this time of year also brings extra mosquitoes and people burning trash to stay warm (even though IT'S NOT COLD, PEOPLE), but hey, I take what I can get.
