mnjah..

Many things have happened during the past month. Being sick (well, nothing serious, but annoying); feeling as a celebrity in a school when going to do a market survey among classes 7-11; going to Cox's Bazar together with Triinu; missing internet in the office for 3 weeks; lots of work; driving all night to see sunset at Jamuna bridge (~200 km from Dhaka); preparing for Bangladeshi NLDS; chairing and facilitating at NLDS and of course everyday joys and miseries.

But anyway, today has been one of the worst days of my BD experience. Everything just goes so wrong. Starting from ruining my clothes with mud when stepping out from house, taking 1,5 hours to reach work (awful traffic!!! which has NOT been disturbing me before at all), having fight in the office with a colleague about a real tiny thing, ruining my clothes for the second time during lunch in the office and so on. Aa... and of course - during past 4 days I've been late to office every day just because I have not been able to wake up in time. Too exhausted.. If I had a list of the symptoms of culture shock I guess, I could mark most of them as symptoms of mine at the moment. Besides, today another of my colleagues asked me: "what is wrong? If I compare you today and 2-3 weeks ago, I can see that you are getting upset so easily.."

All the ideas are very welcome about how to overcome this time....
