Welcome to Bangladesh!

This blog represents a chronicle of my travel to Dhaka, Bangladesh that began on July 28, 2010 from St. Peter, Minnesota. I retired from thirty years of teaching to begin a new career in Bangladesh. This is my diary.

Back in Dhaka for Year Two!!!

September 4, 2011


Dear family and friends,


I am back in Dhaka for Year Two!  I thought I would attach some of my favorite photos from the past year in Bangladesh, ones you have not seen. 
My favorite of all places: Bhutan

I love this picture, taken on an evening stroll in
Bhutan.  The Himalayas are in the background.  I love how two blossoms remain on the tree.  I really want to go back to Bhutan; it is a true Shangrila.

I promise I will write more on my blog this year. All is going well in my second year of teaching at AIS/D.  Come and visit me!  I can give you lots of space, food, a driver, and no worries.

I love you all who are kind enough to view my
blog.  More adventures are waiting for me.

Again, Bhutan!!

Got to LOVE this guy!

Bangladesh strength personified!





Beautiful children everywhere...even just walking around the lake.

A trip to the Sundarbans; just an early morning cruise to look for wildlife.



Someone in my building is getting married.  Felt like Christmas!

A trip to the ship-breaking yards in Chittagong with my friends Caroline and Rosemary.

A woman in the village cutting cucumbers the traditional way with a sharp blade, hands AND feet.





The Tiger's Nest in Bhutan...and YES!  I did climb it!  Absolutely breathtaking in two ways.    Much love, Karen
