This weekend is the end of Ramadan, which is celebrated with the Eid ul-Fitre festival, which means public holidays for me! And as mostly everything in the 'desh shuts down for the week, it was a good excuse to have a refreshing break outside the country. Annnnnd, I got really cheap tickets Dhaka-Beijing, so why not?
Since I'm in the area (well, a 30 hour train ride away kind of area) I thought I'd also do some Mongolian exploring! Ok, I'll be honest, the picture above was the deciding factor - isn't it the cutest!
And to top it off, when I return in two weeks my lovely Stateside friends will be back in Chittagong. It's been a looong monsoon season with less than a handful of other foreigners staying around for it. So adventuring and new friends back in town, yes please!
Travel safely, Bridget. We look forward to your impressions of Beijing, the train and whatever you're able to see of Mongolia. Having colleaues to host you will make such a difference. One of Dad's colleagues suggested you might like to write for National Geographic as you have beautiful photos and such readable blogs. Another challenge to think about. Meanwhile, have a good, safe trip. Love, Mum xx
