Hey everbody,
sorry we left you uninformed for more than four days but things here got a little crazy. I myself got sick and have not been feeling real well in the last few days, and the others have been probably either too tired or too overwhelmed by this chity, namely Dhaka, to write a decent blog post.
So... yeah, basically this trip is over. We're leaving tomorrow morning at 9 from Dhaka Zia International Airport going to Abu Dhabi and then Dubai for the next two days, hoping to get some good food and breathable air in the Emirates.
We've done a couple interesting things at the Bank in these last four days. We visited two garments factories and the guys also went to a solar pannels plant (or something like that) while I was sick.
We also had meetings with the general managers of other sister companies like Grameen Danone which produces yogurt for the poor, Grameen Telecom which we really did not get what they are doing cos the guys barely spoke any English and Grameen Trust which replicates the microcredit models they use here in Bangladesh in other parts of the globe (they are even starting a project in New York City!)
I'm not gonna tell you day by day, meeting by meeting how things exactly went and what happened to us cos I'm too tired and can't be bothered! Sorryyyyyyy!
This experience as a whole has been a great success, despite of the quality of food, various illnesses, weird people and weird places. It's been amazing but we're more than glad to return to our normal lives tomorrow (to Dubai) and on Sunday (back to Milan!!)
And on Tuesday... back to Uni! Now, i really do not know what to write anymore. I'm too tired, too dizzy, too looow! Get back to you from Dubai maybe! I'm leaving the hard task of completing this post to someone whos in a slightly better shape than I, Jaco perhaps.
Actually not, cos we just figured out we wouldnt be able to post any photo cos we've already packed everything!

Caro jacopo,
Abbiamo sentito dire dalla nonna che non ti sei particolarmente divertito, e, sempre lei, ci ha dato l'indirizzo di questo blog. Speriamo comunque che tu abbia imparato molte cose utili in Bangladesh, e che sia stato interessante scoprire cose su nuove culture e modi di vivere(anche se, forse, avrai studiato pricncipalmente economia).
Comunque i nostri più cari auguri,
i tuoi cugini Mattia, Isabella, e Gregorio
Hola chicos,
what a pity you are finishing your experience that we have enjoyed so much. But, continue to tell us how you recover your health and strength in dubai and the civilized world... Here in Apisn we are gettin g ready for the political elections which are very important.
Please, Keep us informed. To tell you the truth I have missed you the last four days...
Good luck in your way back and besos y abrazos desde Madrid
Curra
