The trip to Bangladesh was great over break! It seems as if it was a long time ago. College classes and work has started up, so everything seems normal again. Being back at home allows for the whole experience to sink in. When I look at a world map, it is hard to believe that we were actually there. It is surreal.
The pace of life is a bit of adjustment. The value of time makes it seem like Bangladesh and the United States are on different planets. I am back to a structured schedule here in the states, whereas in Bangladesh things were much slower paced and laid back. It is also weird going from a city of 12-15 million people in Dhaka to Fargo-Moorhead with a population of around 200,000. The weather is also a big adjustment. I almost forgot what snow looked like. The wind chill today is suppose to be -20F at it's lowest, back in Bangladesh the temperature is forecasted for a high of 75F.
It is nice to be back at home with friends and family despite the adjustments.
I read everything and I enjoyed it :).
