Learning...


Sunday, October 3 
Well it’s been almost two weeks since I left home. If someone told me it had been a month I would believe them. Its felt like such a long time! I have learned so much in these past weeks. And so many new things have been packed into this little amount of time.   
Things about Bangladesh: 
  • They hit their baby’s and children for fun and as a joke.
  • They don’t use their left hand to eat, and they eat with their fingers.
  • Looking down is a sign of respect
  • women shouldn’t keep eye contact with men for more than a glance
-All the people here are so beautiful!
Common Bangla words/phrases that I say:
(the spelling is not right. I just spelled how it sounded) =)
  • “Ami nahm Lisa” My name is Lisa 
  • “Twome goman acho” How are you
  • “Ami ballo achi” I am good
  • “Ami tumakay ballobashi” I love you
  • “Ahshow” - Come here
  • “Boshow” sit
  • “ballo” good
  • “Na” no / “Heh” Yes
  • “Donobahd” Thank you
  • “Shoebow ratree” Good night
  • “Shoebow shacall” Good morning
