Back to Kolk

I'm not entirely sure what year Biman came into existance as an airline, but I'm pretty sure that the toilet I used onboard the flight had been uprooted from a tin shed outback dunny to help save on the costs of building the plane.
Onboard the flight we were shown how to use the sick bag, just in case we couldn't figure it out when the time came! Sarah and I were in fits of laughter about that one.

Arriving back at the flat we had no keys to get in and had to wait for Erina to travel from her house before settling in! Actually, I'd sent an email to Erina that morning, but as the news of the flight cancellation was so late in getting to us, we were in India before Erina had a chance to check her mail.

The streets of India definitely have a different feel to the Bangladesh ones. Even Sarah noticed it, and she'd only been in the country for less than 48 hours. India seemed a lot more crazier, and it was good to be back. Bangladesh had a lazy, businesslike feel about it. Or maybe it was just the Bangladesh that we saw.

I had been given a whole list of jobs to do while at the flat with Erina, but unfortunately due to our late arrival and most things being closed on Sunday I barely achieved anything. All the information that I needed to find had been tucked securely out of my way, and our visit to the printers to sort out sunday school materials was completely useless as the IT lady wasn't there. Erina and I spent nearly 2 hours Sunday morning at a side alley internet cafe trying to sort out the internet, but although we had all the details right, the site just wouldn't accept the information.

Swopan Monday, Chompa & Pritilata turned up for the exhort and also Nobin's mother for a first, so that was nice. I was given the most massive welcome ever. I think Chompa has missed us a lot!!
We gave Swopan an exhort to read out, but he came up with something from Romans 10 instead. Most of which we couldn't follow because it was all in the Bengali language.

Some goodbyes and another aeroplane ride later we were back in Hyd, back at the flat,
resting!
