As a British Bangladeshi who arrived in the UK at the age of four I share many of your sentiments. The rawness of life you experienced there was what shocked at first then intrigued me also. Life, emotions, joys, insecurities are indeed laid bare, stripped of any safety/comfort buffers. Especially so to one arriving from a lifestyle of western securities and 'comforts'. Dark personal experiences motivated by greed contrasted against the simple natural beauty of land and every day life still roll around in my mind begging to be disected, interpreted and digested. I could go on but will refrain on this rare occasion. Once again, thanks for sharing with us your experiences. It has truly been a pleasure reading the experiences of a 'white' westerner of a country which fires such a troubled mixture of emotions within me. Hi Tim,

Because am Bengali I've been to Bangladesh twice the last time i went was in 2005 for 2 months i really enjoyed it. i stayed in the village area in the district SUNAMGANJ in Sylhet. And i thought it was fantastic my dad built a house for us to see, believe it it or not it was painted PINK. We have a big family there so we got to see everyone. I enjoyed staying in the village as it was quieter and had more land around. I went into the town sylhet for shopping but it was so congested, noisy and busy. But what i would like to say is am glad you put all the negative side of Bangladesh aside and saw it in a more positive side. I definately hope to visit Bangladesh again soon.

Thanks for getting in touch. To be honest I'm not that knowledgeable on those kind of topics, but from personal experience/preference, I'd think about either HIV or transport as something that would be good to be involved in, or in the longer-term, anything to do with mitigating climate change is essential. You should have a look at this new website, http://isanybodylistening.info/ which is an excellent source of information and a portal in to the area. Hope that's helpful, Tim Hi Huck,

Loved the way you put it. I've lived in Dhaka for over 17yrs before moving to the states. I've plans to go back and join the development process of this country of hopefuls within the next 5 yrs. I would be honored if you e-mail me your advice (e.g. specific projs I might be able to start). Thanks for the splendid job! Great job! Loved the way you put it.
