Bangladeshi meal

Last evening we enjoyed a fun, multi-cultural experience. Two of Dan's friends from Bangladesh are currently visiting him and they wanted to cook a Bangladeshi meal for us. They also asked us to invite our landlords since one of the Bangladeshi men had met them on a previous visit to Thailand.

They cooked a delicious meal and we all enjoyed the food and the conversation (and managed to translate between the three languages without too much difficulty) . It was one of those experiences that makes being here meaningful and I'm especially glad that Claire and Eliza can participate in events like that. We had American and Bangladeshi Christians, Thai Buddhists, and a Bangladeshi Muslim eating together - not something that happens everyday!
