Pecan pie, my state of mind and assorted ramblings

Tonight, I had the best pecan pie EVER. When my girlfriend asked me what I would miss when I move to B-desh, I said I would miss pecan pies. No really, that's what I said. I think I might be in a little bit of trouble.

Moving is never easy, and when you move thousands and thousands of miles away, it makes you doubt your decision every step of the way. I've experienced the whole gamut of emotions, from excitement, joy and the thrill of adventure to sadness, confusion and anger over my sudden bouts of tropophobia. Just the other day, I went shoe shopping, and it annoyed the heck out of me that I have to leave my white Skechers here, because I just can't wear them in the B-deshi monsoon season. They will get mud all over them and that's just not a good look.

Goodbye, white Skechers. I'll miss you.

On an unrelated note: I was trying to look for information on movie theaters in Dhaka, and guess what I came across?

That's the schedule for a movie theater in Dhaka. When I move there, I can watch unforgettable movies like the Forbidden Kingdom, Rambo-4 and D-War for less than the price of a slice of pecan pie. Woohoo!


I think I might have a blog post with links to all kinds of useful information on Dhaka (that's where I'd add the link to the movie theater's schedule). I'll add whatever useful links I can find on the internet (things like restaurants, banks, nightlife, how to get around Dhaka, maps... pretty much anything) and I'd appreciate help from you, my fellow bloggers, if you could add to the list.
