Only in B'desh

Remember the list we made "Only in Mexico" Well I have been making one for B'desh and holy crap I have 8 pages already!!! Here are a couple of things I have added to my "Only in B'desh" list:
1. The new fad- Girls and women do not take the tags off of their shoes. They do this so you can see how much they bought them for. Basically they are flaunting the amount of purchase! Imagine one of those bright orange sticky tags still on the side of a nice pair of high heel sandals! Odd.
2. 2 army men holding big guns in one hand and holding hands in the other! Now this needs explaining. Here in B'desh- no one hugs, kisses or shows any affection. It is strickly forbidden for men and women to show affection. Holding hands is out of the question, and even sitting beside each other is looked down upon! But men are allowed to hold hands, hug and cuddle each other. Now that is different. Out West, women are seen as affectionate and emotional so we women can hold hands as we walk around, and we can hug all the time. But that doesn't happen here. I have never seen women hold hands or even hug out here. It is the opposite. Men hold hands, and hug each other. It is so odd. Sooooo I saw 2 army men in army uniforms with their big shot guns in one hand and with their free hands they had intertwined their fingers together! It was crazy! Absolutely hilarious! I wish I had my camera with me- that would have been the money shot!!! Oh well
Okay that is all for now
ps- well i am usually at the office on the internet during the week around noon, that would mean midnight for you guys so go on messenger and we can all talk okay guys! My hotmail account is: carolynkolm@hotmail.com
pps- so I will be gone for the next couple of days so I won't be in the office for the next week... but after that it would be awesome to chat with all you guys!
