2nd half

so its been a long time since I wrote the last time...
For the weekend I did a trip to Srimangal, its in the north east of Bangladesh. It was very nice to get out of Dhaka. We rent some bikes and then went outside of Srimangla to visit tea gardnes and a tea factory. We also participated at and Hindu festival, where everybodz sang songs and we got some more informations about the religion, which was very interesting. And then we went to a close village to talk to people who took credits from the Grameen bank, because usually when we visit them someone from Grameen is with us, so we dont really get honest answers. It was very interesting to hear also about the negative side.
At the moment I write the paper. And finally I get a little bit stressed because I fear to not complete it on time.
Many of the interns I spent a lot of time with leave during the next days which is sad, but this way I have more time to write and I will leave soon anyways (10 more days).
I still hope I will have a chance to see Prof. Yunus, its not for sure now, but things look good.
Pictures still dont work for some reason, so I will have to upload them once Im back in Germany.
Next week I will probably do a 3 days field trip, which means I will stay for 2 nights at a village and experience Bangladesh culture more closely.
Now I have to get ready and then I go to the bank.
ciao
