5, 6, 7

Following up on the earlier list of the Top 10 (really only 4) ways you know you've adjusted to living in Dhaka, here are a few more:

5. You stop referring to the weekend as Saturday and Sunday (because the weekend here is Friday and Saturday);

6. Driving (or rather riding) on the left-hand side of the road feels normal, and you even remember to walk around to the correct side of the vehicle to get in the passenger seat;

7. The only place you expect to see a spray nozzle indoors is next to the toilet seat, not the kitchen sink. Kaya in particular is going to miss his daily sprayings when we are away this summer.




I think the fact that we are only up to No.7 suggests that we all still have some adjustment to do...
