2006 Remembered - January

I've been to Sundarbans twice before - once when I was very young, and once in 1992 when I finished my high school. But this was the most interesting for sure.
Consider the facts that:
  1. I was on a cruise boat of 20, 18 of them I didn't meet before embarking on the journey, 19 of them non-Bangladeshis.
  2. I don't know how to swim, and we were on water for four days.
  3. I have motion sickness, and the boat was always swaying
  4. I developed IBS just before the trip, and spent most of my time in the restroom. We were stuck on a non-moving bus for 8 hours because of fog while I was inhabited by Harry from Dumb and Dumber.
But I made some very good friends, and this was the most romantic journey, complete with sunsets, beaches and all the good stuff that came with an emerging puppy love.
A wonderful start to an eventful year.
