I have arrived


After packing and repacking, an eighteen hour plane ride, a seven hour layover in Bangkok, a two hour plane ride, and a 5o min drive I have finally arrived.... well sorta.  We are currently staying at a guest house in Chittagong until our permanent residence is finished.  Its crazy, I can't believe that I am actually here.  
So far all I have seen of Chittagong has been on the drive from the airport here.  There are a lot of people.  Traffic is insane.  I can't believe that the city can run.  All I saw was one traffic light and no one even heeded it.  Somehow it works, because I didn't see a single accident.  I did however notice that most of the buses were pretty scraped up on the sides.  Hmmm...I wonder why that is?  
I met a couple of the people involved with the development and implementation of the Asian University for Women and I am now more motivated then before.  The women are coming from Pakistan, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and one from Myanmar.
Ok, I have to go brush my teeth.  I promise there will be more later.
