I have to say that my week in Bangladesh was not only a great experience but also I have discovered new feelings and thoughts that were lying in my mind and finally they found the right environment to go out.

Population density was only another statistic for me, but after spending five minutes in Dhaka I realized what it really means. It is amazing to see how society adapts itself no matters how difficult situation is. A good example of it is the way people drive on the roads in Bangladesh. I felt many times that we were crashing and having an awful car accident. However, the driver was so used to it that he makes you feel it would be more dangerous if he starts driving carefully. We had a break when we stopped to have lunch. The name of the restaurant was "The Aristocrat", it is not the name you would expect for a restaurant in one of the poorest countries of the world, is it?

After I got used to the driving in Bangladesh, I started enjoying every single corner of the country. The colors, the people, especially the happiness of people. Once you see the poverty in the country, you don't understand if they are happy because they don't realize how bad conditions are or just because happiness is deep in their hearts. Whatever the reason is, the lesson is that you can be happy no matter what your condition is.
