Nothing quite beats walking down the street seeing goats heads sitting neatly in a line, completely body-less... That's just one of the charming sights Krista and I encountered yesterday as we walked the 15 minute or so journey from one shop to another on our Dhaka journeys yesterday. The fact that I didn't throw up then and there is a testiment to just how much life for me has changed in the past 18 months. The journey started 542 days ago with a simple e-mail from Grace International School... And now look where I am, I KNEW checking e-mails and being tech savvy would have it's drawback at some stage!!! I'm kidding, of course!
Later today I am heading out of Dhaka - Whoop whoop!!! Of course, getting out of the the hustle and bustle is amazing, except for the death trap that is ANY vehicle in Dhaka... This will be my fifth and sixth journey on a Bengali 'coach' style bus, and this time, I'm doing it in style, executive seats, baby! Of course, it just means when we are all thrown through the windscreen to our death, I'll be one of the first to black out, but hey, that's why we pay just that little extra, right?? I'm yet to die on the roads here, I highly doubt that God would bring me all this way just to see my life end in such a way... *fingers crossed*
Looking forward to sharing some good stories when I return!!! Til then, here's a hug and a kiss or two to tide you over... xox
