About Me

im 23, in my final year of university studying medicine. i chose to create this blog to allow people who know me to share the snapshots of what the country of bangladesh is really like. i may not have grown up there, but for me, this is an opportunity to learn about my homeland, and also to learn some of the reasons why my father chose to leave there for england.

1 day left

so i have woken up early again today, with feeling of a thousand butterflies volleying in my stomach. why am i so anxious about the next 2 months? i really dont know..

anyways, i am happy its a nice day today, i can get some things done and some last minute shopping to buy presents..

i was left a message yesterday saying internet connection is crap in desh, or there is a lack of good internet.. i wont allow that to defeat me. so, hopefully there will be a post almost everyday, even if it is a few words to say i am ok..

anyhow, 1 day left, so i better make the most of it..

2 days to go

ok, its thursday now, and i am leaving this saturday. my flight is at 1.45pm and i will be in dhaka at 2am UK time.

im quite excited about this elective but i am also nervous too. even though i may be bengali, my grasp on the language is not as fine as it should be so communication is the barrier that is giving me anxiety.

anyways guys, this is the first post and i hope you keep reading my blog and i will try to keep uploading photos and to tell you all about my day in the city of dhaka.
