After a long, long time of not shamelessly publicizing my own blog, here is a reminder of it 
http://johnstanlake.com/
Most of the inspiration now comes from being in bangladesh once again.
I also update my photo gallery very often,

Hi all,
This is my final blog update from Bangladesh. I actually left at the end of June, but have only just got around to summing up.
I'm now on the same timezone as some of you, as I recently started a new job in Guyana.
Under One Sun: A Tribute to Bangladesh
http://johnstanlake.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/under-one-sun-a-tribute-to-bangladesh/
Enjoy!

Two new blogs;
The first is more of a photo blog displaying the lives of Bangladeshi fishermen at Cox's Bazar.
For all men are equal before fish...
http://johnstanlake.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/for-all-men-are-equal-before-fish/
The second is a reflection on how I made an effort to connect my teaching experiences in Rwanda to Bangladesh.

Hi all,
Another blog update.
Entitled 'A Quiet Place' it describes my experience of visiting a unique location in Chittagong. It was a very moving and particularly surprising experience.

Here's my next blog from Bangladesh.
It's a photo blog mainly, which provides a brief description through words and images of an ancient Hindu festival I attended recently.
Beautiful Bangladesh – Swinging Devotees and Sunsets

It's all about my recent experience of conducting interviews for potential new students to AUW. I met some incredibly interesting young students during the day.
'If you could have dinner with any figure from history who would it be?'

Hey Rocker - yeh 20/20 cricket is for the lazy cricket fan! It's good entertainment, but not the true spirit of cricket (in my view), but I can see why it's popular. I'm a purist and therefore enjoy the 5 day format...yes, 5 days!
Here's a good link which may help you.

If you have any questions let me know!

Good to hear from you Kula...I like the fact that you're involved in cricket over there. I read some of your stuff on cricket. Surprised that that it has many rules and takes a while to master them. (you don't think that's why "test 20" or whatever that is is getting popular?) Here cricket matches don't get broadcast as much obviously as baseball, football etc so we're "behind the 8 ball" when it comes to knowing alot about the game. I was thinking can you note an example of what happens in an "inning"..i.e. maybe just doing the "basics"?? Frankly, I could use some crick "ejikation"! And if it's too much to write down here ok just send me to a good book or something, eh? |

And yes Anthony, Bangladesh does have a lot of trouble with flooding. It's a real problem here. Living in Chittagong has meant I haven't witnessed its full effects, however i know rural areas and those close to rivers and deltas are often living in extremely precarious conditions

Happy New Year!
Here's my next update from Bangladesh. Entitled 'An Eyewitness to Genocide: Life as a Bangladeshi UN Peacekeeper,' this update is far more serious than the last, but hopefully no less interesting. It describes an encounter I had recently at AUW which brought together my African and South Asian experiences.
