well this is my first attemt at a web blog, we will see how it works out. everything is going pretty smooth over here, despite random bombings and massive protests, everything seems to be pretty normal. the weather is unbelievably hot and humid, and it rains like you wouldnt believe. i know understand what a monsoon rain is really like, i have never seen it rain so hard in my life.
next week i will begin teaching my first class, it is a little nerve racking, but i am sure i will do fine. it will be an english class, but the students are taught english is school everyday, so i figured that i would make it a little interesting. so the class that i will be teaching will be a world geography class, beacause it is unreal how bad their geograpgy skills are. it will be an english class with a main theme of world geography. we will see how it goes.
i am pretty much a rock star over here, which i am sure will get old after a while. everywhere i go people approach me and want to touch me and talk to me. i am invited to everyones house and i am asked if i will marry their daughters (which is usually the first question out of their mouths, are you married?). i will do my best to stay unmarried, which shouldnt be hard considering i only get a dollar fifty a day. maybe i will just say that i am married so that it will end that conversation pretty quick. besides dodging terrorist, floods, prospective wives and bats (which are massive) things are okay after one month in bangladesh. hope they stay that way.
from the other side of the world,
