Welcome back Cool Papa!

It’s been quite some since I have actually contributed to this blog. Time to stir things up I guess. We will keep this one short and sweet. No need to go overboard or get in over my head. Besides, once I reveal the topic, there really won’t be much to write about anyhow!

It has been a great eight months thus far and we have definitely had our ups and downs. There are many great things about living in Dhaka and of course there is always the flipside as well. I was thinking the other day about coming up with a “top ten things that prove you are used to living in Dhaka.”

I could only come up with four.

1. You are excited when you only have two blackouts in one day.
2. You are happy when you blow your nose and the tissue isn’t totally black.
3. You think instant coffee (Nescafe) actually tastes good.
4. You get mad at your rickshaw walla for not going the wrong way on a one-way road.

I am sure I could come up with a few more, but the fact that I haven’t been able to rattle off ten right away is probably a good indication that I will never get used to living in Dhaka. It’s always something new here and to tell you the truth, I kind of like it.
