CHILI PEPPERS
There may be a shortage of electricity in Bangladesh, but not a shortage of these essential peppers. No one makes better spicy curries than the Bengalis.

GRACIOUS HOSTESS
This nice lady, Rehanna, invited us to her home on February 6 to enjoy a great meal of curried chicken and rice, etc. This week the contents of her home were destroyed by fire. Her one-room house had a cement floor and brick walls so it will take less to rebuild than many of the homes.
BEFORE HAIRCUT
On Thursday, Austin, Marita, Jim (Marita’s brother) and his wife, Normi went to Mymensingh for a day trip. Therefore, our grandsons spent the day with us, from 5:30 am to 10 pm. Marita had said I could take them to the barber. I told them that ever since I had taken them to the barber last June, he asks me where they are, when I get a haircut. Well here is a series of photos featuring Jensen, the oldest grandson.
WATERMELON
Watermelon season is beginning here in Bangladesh.
TEA in the making
Sugar on the right, and Sweetened Condensed Milk being measured for my cup of tea. The Bengalis know how to make a super cup of tea!!!
TEA STAND
Here is where I bought a cup of tea 5 days per week from November ’07 until August ’08. My wife thought I shouldn’t to prevent sickness. Somehow I never got sick even though I bought close to 200 cups of tea here. The cups are rinsed out with water before being used again!
WAFFLES
Waffles seemed to be quite available in Thailand.
