Man! I Feel Like a Woman!

Ever since we arrived in Dhaka, the gender inequalities in Bangladesh have been obvious. The employment rate, education rate, any statistic in the book points to the gap in opportunities available to men and women.

Women here are covered from head to toe in their salwar kameez and even some women wear a full burqua. On the other side of things, you constantly see men peeing in public and doing whatever they please. But I will write more about that in a separate post.

Cristina's diplomatic card arrived not long time ago and the Government of Bangladesh made sure her role was clearly spelled out on it: "She is the spouse of  Diplomat".

Needless to say Vlad and I still have a good laugh about it.
