This week's headlines

Average Temperature this week: 100F (it hits 104 during mid-day usually...I check my key chain thermometer pretty regularly)

Cumulative hours of sleep: 20. I have begun freezing bottles of water during the day and pressing them against my face at night to keep cool.

Best Quote: "My food taste good...YOU no taste good!" -The Manager of the Spaghetti Jazz restaurant to my two Pakistani friends after they complained about having to pay for food they returned because it was inedibly bad

Best Meal this Week: Spicy Vegetable Biryani prepared by our "bua" (aka-maid/part time cook) Aklima...mmm....spicy...

French Sentence for the Week: "Vous Le Vous Le Discoteque?" = Do you want to go to the night club? My Francophone roomate is teaching me only the important stuff.

Random BRAC Intern-Relegated Task for the Week: Serve as "official rapporteur" at the BRAC Road Safety seminar this Monday. I basically have to take notes for six hours straight.

I hate whoever stole our air conditioner compression unit.
