Wed. Sep. 10

 Breakfast burritos

Lonnie went in to Khulna to buy a new printer, order a Queen size mattress topper, and get a haircut. He was not back by lunch time.

In the eve, the girls and I walked out to the levee. An older woman was unusually friendly and asked Lots of questions! Got abnormally touchy starting with Miss Christina, patting her hair, putting her hand on her shoulder, asking if she was married(maybe this woman is looking for a daughter in law🧐) she asked if we ate cow meat and felt my ear, commenting on the lack of jewelry,… anyways not sure why we hung around as long as we did🤔 but she was easier to understand than some of these village women and chattier than most that we’ve come in contact with so far..

We bought a bag of cucumbers on our way back thru the village and once again, I must get these numbers learned!! If it’s not a hundred increment number or some other 10s number that I know, I’m just quite at a loss for how much I owe🤦🏼‍♀️ I finally decided to just strike out and start by giving a couple 20s. After the bill was all settled they actually came up with the English words! 52 taka! Now, why couldn’t they have said that to begin with🧐
