Really interesting to hear about your culture-shocked observations though, perhaps in a way having to go back to Canada will enhance your next three months in Bangladesh? In other news, the Daily Star published our presser. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing you again, take care, Tim Hi mate,

This transformation is very interesting, especially when you have grown up in a ‘developed’ country and coming to see the ‘poor’ countries of the world. But then your description about the posh café mango in Dhanmondi or the other delicacies of a Dhaka life…these are always puzzling I guess. How that fits in with a poor ‘underdeveloped’ country? In recent times, I have seen that puzzlement in many people coming to Dhaka for the first time. Recently, I was looking at some literature on trans-national governmentality. I think this perhaps explain some situation in Bangladesh, although as ever with any other place it will have its own particularities. Interested to talk about it sometime.
