... and a Bible. These people were a few Christians but mostly Muslim and Hindu. It was fantastic to see their smiling faces as they competed in the Bible quiz and to shake their hands as we gave them their certificates. Jim preached and they told him to preach "At least 1 hour"!<br><br>We also visited the 4 offices in Bangladesh, including the one in Cox's Bazaar (which you may have heard of). In each place are workers who have a burden for reaching the lost. They ...

... for "sir". then a nice 5-wood and sandwedge. it was a piece of cake. 3-on and 2-putt for par. nice way to shake off the jet lag. hole number 2: 390-yard par 4 this is the mother of all doglegs and the toughest hole on the course with an index=1. you have to hit an iron down a steep mountain without falling all the way down into the creek. when you walk down there (you have to walk because there are no carts in this club and even if they had carts, there is no golf cart ...

... of fried veggies, chapatis, and homemade tea. it was quite nice. if you come to chittagong, come to the st. martin for the tea if for nothing else. after breakfast, i found a phone shop and bought a local simm card. it was only 140 taka. i slipped that simm into my thai gsm phone and voila, i had a phone. i called my old school buddy behrouze becuase i thought he lived in chittagong. i was wrong. he lived in ...

december 16, 2006 drove to suvarnabhumi airport in bangkok and parked in the long term parking lot which also serves as "a long way to the terminal" parking lot. they charge 140 baht per day. you have to take a bus to the terminal building. the buses look like they are designed to shuttle airport employees and not passengers so it is a little freaky getting your luggage in and out and trying to figure out where to get off and once off trying to get to the departure lounge ...

Personally, I have always thought of One Day Cricket matches as a game, you sit/lie on your couch, drink beers and get ****** as you watch. Yeah, I have been to a few over the years, but I can't say that they are my favourite form of cricket. Give me a test any day. As there was another strike in Bangers, it was a little hard getting a prickshaw, but eventually we got one, and with me directing the fool of a driver, we arrived in time to see the toss, which once again ...

Back in Chittagong we decided that as Andrew and the boys had gone we would go for the lower budget hotel next door. It was a bargain at less than half the price. The people were really friendly too. Should have stayed there before. Plus when we got up for brekky the next morning, without being able to understand much English they brought our order out within about 4 mintues. In the swanky place next door everyone had the same complimentary breakfast everyday for 6 days and they ...

Since the test series had started, we had been hanging out with a few more Aussies who were doing the Waving the Flag tour. Peter, Mel, Paul and Bernie. They were good people from N.S.W. And Victoria, so once the test had finished, we grabbed a prickshaw and went sight seeing, well, just the ship wrecking yards as they are the only thing to see in Chittagong. Finding three prickshaws was hard as the strike had pulled most of them off of the road. Once ...

... and down.  Up and down.  While Mrs R excitedly considered the wave interference between two offshore islands, Mr R and Ms Duke turned steadily greener.  In 69th place, there are train journeys in Mauritania.  Admittedly, there is only one train line.  But Mauritania Rail do their utmost to make the experience the ultimate in exotic discomfort.  After 9 hours in the cattle truck, you feel like a sand-blasted camel.  Without the capacity to hold water.  In 70th position, being thrown ...

... of the finest English dishes:  English fish and mash, English macaroni cheese, English prawn chow mein.  Before we leave, maybe we'll even cook some English curry. All this domestic bliss, customized travel consultancy &amp; fixing has made our travelling incredibly easy.  No buses to arrange.  No restaurants to find.  No hotels to negotiate.  Like we said: easy as pie.   No wonder the likes of Michael Palin can make it ...

... of course,"  we were duly informed.  Suitably humbled, we made our way to the stadium.  Over the course of 5 days, England conspired to make what is generally considered to be the worst test-playing nation in the world to look better than Her Majesty's finest.  "Ordinary spinners", was the Bengali rallying cry of a packed stadium as Batty and Giles sent down another ineffective ball ...  We found it hard to argue.   If it weren't for a few lapses by the ...
