Maria's things: Dhaka

As mentioned in my previous post, I have been assigned for a short time (2-3 months) to Dhaka. Life shows to be very tough.

Dhakaban vagyok ujra es kemenyen indult az elet.

1. A rather scary event: the same flight I took from Delhi to Dhaka on Sunday, entered in the bush on Monday!! Slipped out from the runway and stopped in the grass!!! Pheeeeeeeew!

Eleg ijeszto, hogy ugyanaz a repulogep amellyel vasarnap utaztam, hetfon a bokrok koze erkezett. Kicsuszott a kifutorol... JAJ!

2. The humidity is unbearable, therefore everyone is fond of air conditioning. My colleagues simply ADORE AC! I hate it! It's just too cold for me! I ended up with the most terrible flu I have ever had. Thanks God it is not H1N1! Started on the 2nd day of my arrival and it is on for the last 9 days, including today :( Now it is much better but still did not recover completely.

A levego fullasztoan paras. Szinte ijeszto! Az irodaban 16 fokra van allitva a legkondi es mindenki husul. Kint katasztrofalis meleg van. Masodik nap ugy meghultem, hogy meg mindig tart... Meg mindig! :D

3. Monday night I went to take a shower. The broken soap case, I have been complaining about and requested to be changed from the day of arrival, did his thing. When turned on the tap, this thing cut my wrist so seriously that I have seen my own flesh&bone before fainting (....) Have been taken to emergency& ended up with 6 stitches. The scar I will carry for a lifetime. The yarn will be removed next week :D

Hetfo este elmentem zuhanyozni es amikor megengedtem a csapot, egy torott szappantartoba akadt bele a csuklom. Lattam a husom :D Aztan surgossegin voltam, osszevartak a karom es szepsegesen uldogelek az agyikomon...attol felve, hogy ne menjek neki valaminek, ne essen a fejemre semmi es ne vagjam ossze magam :D Jovo heten szedik ki a cernat. Remelem ezutan mar csak jobb lesz!

After this, they did not only change the soap case, but moved me to a completely upgraded, renewed, re-checked apartment. Heard millions of sorries and apologies. What to say? I believe they did not want this to happen. Nor did I!

Ezek utan nemhogy a szappantartot csereltek ki, de egy teljesen uj apartmanba koltoztettek. Kertek 6 ezer bocsanatot es 15 ezer elnezest. Hat mit mondjak...elhiszem, hogy nem akartak :)
