Home Swede Home


After 3 months on the road with no place to call home...we found a home in Dhaka on our last trip through the capital. A Swedish fellow that we met on our trip to the Sundarbans is doing contract work in Bangladesh and has a flat in Dhaka. So, for two glorious days we relished being in a 'home'. We feasted on cheese (brie...not paneer!) and wine, had our first hot shower in nearly a month's time, sat on a western toilet (versus the usual squat toilet)...and washed our clothes in a washing machine for the first time since we landed in the subcontinent! Granted we are choosing this budget lifestyle to lengthen our journey, but it really makes you appreciate the simple modern conveniences that we grow so accustomed to in our lives back home. We were so grateful to Kent for inviting us into his home where we spent sucha relaxing time before making our long journey to the northern border to cross back into India.
