Quick update (with video footage!)

I am on a 5 day village visit to the rural villages of Bangladesh (starting tomorrow), north of the capital city of Dhaka. There should be a lot of new content on the blog following the visit. I will have very limited internet access  during this time.

For a lighter moment, check out the video clip below of myself and other Grameen interns negotiating with taxi drivers on a fare to be driven to Gulshan I, another district in Dhaka.

Also, I want to thank all of you for the kind words regarding the blog. I welcome all comments and suggestions to be sent to my email address at aqv5005@psu.edu.

Regards, Abi

    Nice video…but just to be clear I think they were more fascinated with your American/Asian counterparts…since you look like them anyways!

    I have to agree with Siddog on this one.
    Definitely interesting to see you try to negotiate though. Hold your ground next time.
