My top 10 lists

Top ten things I WILL miss about Bangladesh:
1. My friends at Grameen- the posse, some who have gone already and some who will be there for awhile still. Miss you guys! We sure have survived some interesting experiences together!
2. The home cooking- my favorite Bangla food was the food made by the love of a Bangladeshi mom!
3. The cheap stuff- all kinds of stuff, clothes, food, shoes, little knick knacks
4. Taking photos with Professor Yunus! He is my favorite old man, except for my grandpa of course!
5. The beauty of the country that lies outside of Dhaka- in Srimongol, and Cox's Bazaar
6. The Ispahani milk tea! I wonder how long my 100 tea bags will last me.
7. The Nocilla, coconut crackers, and Mango juice that were a staple of my diet.
8. The very nice Bangladeshis I met along the way- Sigma, Nuheen, Rashed, and Milton.
9. How we did everything we weren't supposed to do, and still survived to tell everyone about it.
10. The free wi-fi at the airport!

Top ten things I will NOT miss about Bangladesh:
1. The inevitable traffic jams and horrible pollution and the layer of black film on my face and my clothes from being in a CNG for 1.5 hours trying to go 8 km.
2. The dirtiness of the streets, the trash that is everywhere, and the random smells of the toilet in the air.
3. The people staring at me in an impolite and uncomfortable way and not responding when I smile or wave back.
4. The rickshaw and CNG drivers always trying to cheat me and getting mad at me when I actually pay them the rate we agreeed upon.
5. The Grand Prince Hotel, the shady manager at the front desk, and the cancer causing bug spray used on my mattress and pillows to kill bed bugs
6. The Bed bugs, cockroaches, spiders, and mosquitoes
7. Jannat-E-Quanine and Mr. Babor Ali, my two least favorite employees of the International Dept at Grameen Bank
8. The electicity outages at the most inconvenient times (like right before a World Cup game or while I am in the elevator)
9. The ridiculously inefficient immigration officers at the airport that take 30 minutes per foreigner
10. The fact that women had to cover themselves up while the men could run around wearing whatever they wanted to.
