A business trip

For the first time in my life I traveled in Business Class and it was great!!! (I slept for the first time in 30 hours!!). As you can see, Air France connection went great. I arrived at the airport in Paris, and it took me some time to find my way in the immense airport (really huge) and from there I flew (Air Europe donation) to Doha (Qatar capital). Qatar limits with Saudi Arabia a small peninsula.

The big question is how I managed to travel business class. I was in Qatar waiting for the last and long awaited flight to Dhaka when a nice and smiling Qatar Airways assistant offered me the chance to fly in business class. I obviously accepted, my back was more than thankful, maybe seeing my 19-hour-flight face helped. Those last hours on the plane helped me to gather up what was left of my energy.

The story is even more surprising. I was sitting very comfortably when a Bangla looking girl sat beside me (she was around 28): Moushumi. We started talking and she happened to be a Bangladeshi lawyer living in the US who had worked many times with Yunus at the Grameen Bank. She was really impressed by my internship experience and told me about many encounters she had had with Yunus and his assistants. She was very nice to me. She gave me her cellphone and her family phone in Dhaka.
We may meet before I leave. Having these contacts while being in such a different country made me feel safe.
