Writer's Block?

I guess you can’t really call it writer’s block since I do not consider myself a writer, but bloody hell (as my British counterparts would say), this is ridiculous. I have so much to say, but I can’t find a starting point. There is so much that goes on and there are so many surreal things about Dhaka and Bangladeshis that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. Hmm, kind of like when we try and go to a local market.

Well, let me ramble on and see if we can construct anything interesting. Only twenty-one more days until we fly back! We are very excited to see family and friends and to go to Starbucks. Did I just say that, I mean and go to… Okay fine, I am not ashamed to admit that I for one, am excited to sit down at a proper coffee shop and suck down some sugar, milk and coffee. Dhaka is great, but it doesn’t have any of the “cookie cutter” restaurants or stores that we have back home. Sometimes you just need to get out of Dhaka and those places would be great to have here! Actually, we do have a Pizza hut, seriously, a Pizza Hut. Lovely. I did see a Chili’s sign a few months back, but as it turns out the sign, like many things in Bangladesh, wasn't real. The restaurant had Bangladeshi food and that was it. No awesome blossom, bummer. Somehow the owner got an exact replica of the Chili’s sign!!! I also saw a Best Buy sign in rickshaw alley. Doubt I will be able to get the latest season of Entourage there. Actually, on second thought, I may be able to find it there! A friend of mine told me she purchased the Wolverine movie on DVD before it came out in the States. Piracy is alive and well on this side of the world. Arrrrr, matey.

Bangladesh, what the hell am I doing here!? Why am I enjoying it so much? I guess it’s that untamed, insatiable wanderlust in me that seems to…... Whoa, that last line sounded a little too Kerouac for me. I best be on my way, on the road and into the wild of Dhaka. From what I understand you all enjoy the Kaya quotes much more anyhow. He’s so funny.
