Bangladesh, what a place.  The city was overfilled with dust and pollution, while cars, trucks, tuks, and people were everywhere. Drivers constantly honked at each other as they rushed through intersections while avoiding collisions and accidents. The traffic in Dhaka stood still for hours as drivers waited impatiently to get where they were going. 

The food was something else. I had curry chicken, and the thick, spicy curry clung to the chicken like cement. I fell in love with the cashew salad and other spicy food. When I returned home, I put on a couple of kilos.

It surprised me when I walked around the international airport in Dhaka, many teenage soldiers walking around carrying assault rifles.
