We have safely arrived in Dhaka and saw some holy cows yesterday :)
We are settling in but finding everything very strange at the moment. We are lucky enough to have the services of a cook, a cleaner and 2 drivers, which actually is quite hard to get used to as we're not expected to do anything! We've thrown them into confusion by clearing up our own plates...
We went for a walk yesterday around the Botanic Garden, where we became the tourist attraction! There are not many foreigners in Bangladesh so we are quite interesting. It was fun when people waved at us, took our photos and practiced their English, and slightly more daunting when they followed us trying to sell us flowers that they'd just picked from the gardens! We came home and learnt the Bengali for 'Forgive me' which is the appropriate thing to say in the situation.
There's heavy rain today, it's still 32 degrees though and we're not flooded yet...
