The presentation I gave to staff tonight about part of my experiences in Bangladesh, the quality is poorer because I’ve had to save the slides as jpegs and reinsert them. Slideshare doesn’t seem to like complex presentations sometimes 
. Not much information as I wanted to speak from personal experience, but some interesting pictures showing school life in the country.

I was slightly worried about the check in, I was convinced that my baggage was overweight; I was later to find that it was, we would be changing at Dubai, the airport has strict conditions on the size and weight of baggage that people can handle. After checking in we then headed through the usually security checks, to my surprise I didn’t set off one alarm. I also had a random shoe check. I spent time in departures with an art teacher called Kathy; it was nice to speak to someone who was as scared and excited as me.
