Occasionally you will come across a country that will leave you excited, stunned, shocked, amused, heartbroken, impressed, depressed, and thankful. For me, that country was Bangladesh, situated in south Asia and bordering India and Myanmar. I landed in Dhaka, where my friend was living. Arriving at the airport was incredible.

Levin came to visit this week! This time we got to explore a lot of the other side of the Vltava river and kind of explored less touristy spots. Like before I had been counting down the days to his arrival but this trip was marked with the bonus adventure of traveling to Venice together.

I am studying abroad in Rome this semester! Wednesday, September 06, 2006.

Well, as I have already alluded to, I am home. But it was not without a mammoth struggle. I will break it down if I can manage to type it without having a nervous breakdown! I managed to have a nice last day, meeting Jamie and Pong for lunch, doing some last minute shopping and then going back to the hotel to cram everything into my bags. Then I checked out, got a taxi to the airport and that is where the woe began.
