thanks to our day off, my apartmentmates and i got some quality outdoor time, going through markets and walking the streets near our building. it was actually a nice day, humidity was down, so it was only probably about high 80's, low 90's - thanks to a crazy thunderstorm we had last night. our bangladeshi staff continues to tell us how terribly hot it is and how much better it will be after monsoon season. i have my doubts, but we'll see...
as we were walking along the street we saw this gigantic pink, white and gray mass moving towards us...as it got closer (and this was in the middle of a heavily trafficked road, by the way), we realized it was a rickshaw loaded with foam squares - for pillows? for cushions? for construction? who knows.
when i get home i will have clothes that were manufactured in China (as seen by above), sewn/tailored in Bangladesh, and worn in Asia and the United States...globalization at it's best/worst?
