What's different?

I feel very at home here in Bangladesh and the transition here has been much easier than our move to India. We loved India but we were doing it on our own and arriving with nothing but our suitcases. We also had much younger children with us. I'm pleased we had the experience of India. We had to work hard to make ends meet and find our way around but here in Chandpur, Bangladesh, we have been so well looked after.
We arrived to a furnished home to stay in, no need to buy anything for the house unless we really want to and we'd already had the experience of shopping in markets and catching Tomtom's (Auto rickshaws) in India so it didn't take long to feel at home shopping and travelling in this way again. Some people may struggle with some of the commodities but for us, everything is perfect.  

We have a great sense of purpose here and are keeping busy which is fulfilling. My biggest fear of not getting on with the couple we are sharing the house with is a non issue and I think we are all enjoying each others company and we have enough privacy if we need it.

So whats a couple of differences from New Zealand that I have seen in the last couple of days?

1. Yummy tiny bananas that you buy on the side of the road.


2.Gas top oven for baking.
