One small animal's insights from people and places, reading, working and traveling, living. Sunday, April 17, 2011. Bangladesh: land of the Bengals. I spent the last week there, it's a place I've never been before. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and found it fascinating, wild and alive. I spent most of the time in Dhaka, the overcrowded, sometimes suffocating capital city.

One small animal's insights from people and places, reading, working and traveling, living. Thursday, August 25, 2011. It's been far too long. Any whilst I can't think of anything specific or significant to write about, I figured I had to break the seal or you might just never hear anything from me again.
