Eid Mubarak

I GUESSSSSSS... I'll do another entry. I just haven't found any motivation to write one. You have to be in a writing mood.. and I am a sucky writer.. so that mood never happens.

Things are going well. Work started to pick up and THEN we went on HOLIDAYS! Ha. Figures. We get a week off for Eid vacation. Humber is planning to send 2 faculty members here in November so that is what I am working on.. getting everything in order so that we can do some training and hopefully the Business Support Centre stuff.

Other than that I have been working on getting my Visa extended. Not sure if it would be easier to go to India and get it done.. or risk Bengali bureaucracy. Either way.. I hope it works.. or I will deported at the end of November. The other day at the passport office we were trying to decide when, who, and how much we should bribe them. I am sure Rupen would be proud.

Got another rickshaw story. The other day Karina and I hop on to head home. The guy peddles two feet the jumps of and disappears behind us. Confused to say the least.. I turn around searching for him.. and find him peeing against the wall. Although this is normal to see...it is EXTREMELY FUNNY.. when it is your rickshaw driver. Karina was not impressed and wanted to peddle away with his rickshaw to see what he would do.. I just sat there and laughed for 5 minutes!

Hmmm... what else? Had a "Thanksgiving" dinner at my boss' house. Although my bet is it was a chicken and not a turkey, it was still a nice gesture. We also went for Iftar at someone's house and because of the torrential rain got stuck on the other side of the city with no options of going home that night.Roads flooded no taxis, no CNG's, barely even rickshaws. Thankfully we were able to stay at a BWCCI member's house. Nothing like wearing someone else's (although it was new) nightgown and bunking up with Karina for the night!!!


Well I guess that is it. I have no idea what else to write. I think I need to write things down as they happen.. because I am forgetting a TON of extremely funny events.







Oh I've been in the postcard writing mood so if you want one.. or would like me to attempt to send you one... I haven't experimented with the mail yet... Send me your address.
