Leaving for Bangladesh in TWO DAYS!
Weather today in Dhaka (the capital city) is 80 degrees with a low of 55 at night! I can get used to that for a month as the east coast transitions from winter to spring!!
News of the day in Bangladesh: five of the ten men who killed Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (the "father of the nation") were hanged today. Their bodies were escorted by Police back to their respective villages. The end of this trial comes 34 years after the killing and still remains a very controversial topic as Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his ideals were controversial themselves. However it does not excuse the brutal killing of this leader and his family. I believe the nation finds itself a bit torn as the men who murdered SMR were freedom fighters themselves and bled for the nation during the liberation war.
