By the way, Grease was pretty cool. I managed to remember all my lines for the three performances. I asked earlier today about pictures and video. They said they would get them out soon. I'll bet you can't wait....
Also, Happy Garifuna Settlement Day!! (I miss Belize...)
Hi all,
Bangladesh has recently been included in Lonely Planet's top 10 countries to visit.
The list is:
- Algeria
- Bangladesh
- Canada
- Georgia
- Greenland
- Kyrgyzstan
- Oman
- Peru
- Rwanda
- Sierra Leone
'Bangladesh is not the country of disappointment as portrayed by the media nor is it merely the poor cousin of India. Instead Bangladesh is a revelation that leaves India looking a little worse for wear. Any visitor who ventures here will return home with stories so improbable that claiming you have a pet unicorn will sound more believable.
So, what is it that makes accounts of this big-hearted nation so refreshingly unlikely? For a start, Bangladesh, one of the poorest nations on earth, has done what California, the richest area on earth, claims is prohibitively expensive - it has banned all petrol and diesel vehicles from its two major conurbations and soon will do so for the entire country. If that hasn't confounded the disbelievers, then wait until they hear that the highest point in Bangladesh, which is famous for being frying-pan flat, is higher than the highest peak in Scotland, which is famous for being leg-achingly mountainous.'

You think some weird people like you (wink) are drawn to the places other people overlook?? Maybe you have some sick obsession with going against the grain, not following the crowd. Sort of like how everyone dissed Griga??
Bangledesh sounds awesome.
I see Sierra Leone is also on that list!
