Ah the joys of international travel

Greetings everyone from Bangladesh! I have been here a few days now and have to say it has been an interesting experience. Currently it is their winter season, this means it is quite cold. Cold is really a relative term because being that I am from Colorado I think 80 degrees is actually quite warm. There is a lot of fog this time of year so it makes air travel in and out of Bangladesh quite difficult. My plane from London was diverted for almost 8 hours due to the fact the pilot couldn't even see the lights of the airport let alone the run way. We were then diverted to Kolkata (Calcutta) India to wait out the fog. At first this made me nervous since it was 2am when this was decided, but British Airways put us up in a Hyatt (which I am told is one of the nicest hotels in India). The bathroom as you can see is all marble. Pretty impressive really. Apparently India has huge natural resources of marble and granite so they are able to have really nice places like this.




Eventually I got back to the airport and we made the 20 minute flight into Bangladesh safe and sound. Yeah!
