Pinky and Mo

The Rocket and Dhaka


Today we visited the home of Pinky and Mo, two very kind and friendly Bengali sisters who truly welcomed us to their city. We met them at a popular intersection near their home and we spent 5 hours at their home eating, laughing, sharing stories and experiences and even more eating. Their mother cooked for hours to prepare over 7 vegetable dishes for us and 4 of the best Bengali desserts that are eaten during their religious holiday Eid. They were all so lovely and they have invited us to spend the national holiday with them tomorrow. Tomorrow is the 38th anniversary of Bangladesh's independence and we can already see the people showing their pride- many people have attached Bangladesh flags to their rickshaws, cars or are just waving them as they walk through the street.
