Home in Dhaka

Our home is located in the diplomatic area about 15 mins walk from the Canadian High Commission and slightly closer to the American International School where I will be doing a clinic.

We are in new apartment on a quiet residential street, very close to a small lake (mosquito breeding zone).

The weather right now is hot (although not extremely hot) and very humid.  Inside the house it is comfortable with A/C running all the time.  Outside is humid, but not unbearable.

Travelling to Dhaka!

Here are a few photos from our journey to Dhaka.
Leaving Ottawa...

Dubai at 2:25am.  Shall we fly to Kabul or maybe Bagram???

Getting on the plane to Dhaka in Dubai.
Total number of people on the flight who were not migrant Bangladeshi workers?  2

When I got on the plane the stewardess took one look at where I was supposed to be sitting, exclaimed "that won't do", and moved Dan and I to the exit row.  Tons of leg room for our last flight, on a brand new 737!  

Arriving in Dhaka Airport.
