MONDAY: Another Dinner Invitation

At work Andy and I got introduced the projects a bit more - it's all very exciting and there seems like there's loads to do fairly quickly. At the moment we've both got a lot of reading to do to get ourselves up to speed with where the business is up to and the community projects. Lots of research has been done in Bangladesh for both things, which we very quickly need to digest.

Anyway, it has got us very excited about the forthcoming few months.

In the afternoon Nicola went back to the flat to sort out the internet. Unfortunately there was a power cut whilst they were trying to connect (a frequent occurance, as we are now learning), so the process seemed to take ages. Andy stayed at the office to finish off his briefing.

In the evening we were invited to Ken and Nipun's house for dinner, which was lovely and our first opportunity to spend time with some Christadelphians in Dhaka. Nipun cooked us some wonderful Bangladeshi food, despite suffering a bit with her pregnancy.

The only problem we encountered was getting a CNG (motorised rickshaw) from Mohammadpur to their house, which took us almost an hour to find as it was rushhour and then the journey itself took a long time in the busy polluted traffic. Thankfully Ken was there to help us along.

So, all in all a lovely evening but with so much information to process we were glad of our bed.
