[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Bangladesh twenty years ago as a naive young kid. Once I reached the airport I burst into tears and realized I made a mistake. Then I called my parents to try to get me out asap. I see things haven’t really changed there. [/quote]

I guess you hadn’t heard of the internet twenty years ago then?[/quote]

I did. I was a wide eye idealist who had just heard of micro finance and had decided to go to Bangladesh to visit the grameen bank. And I was no stranger to developing countries. But somehow landing in Bangladesh was overwhelming. I had intended to stay for a month and lasted a few days. Never again. Almost walked into a big street riot in Dhaka as a clueless kid while I was there too. I am surprised sometimes I haven’t ended up dead in a ditch somewhere in my youth. [/quote]

DP. I just remembered my LSE prof going on and on about Bangladesh and their micro finance and NGOs and all. 
Not sure why most of our course was so focused on Bangladesh! 
No desire to go then, even less now [/quote]
