We are sitting outside, its 930 pm and we are delighted that our internet is working. And, in true Bangladesh fashion, the electricity goes out. The bugs begin to swarm at the computer screen, then they swarm to my face. We cannot figure out why they like my face and not Jasim's until we realize that my light skin must reflect he light and look like a light to them...this doesn't happen to Jasim since he is so dark.
We laugh so hard that I almost lose my rice...these bugs have never seen a white person either!!
Then, the generator starts up and the bugs go back to the neon light.
(I realize that you may not find this as funny as we just did...sorry)
