Tomorrow is the first day of Spring for the Bangladeshis. Girls and woman will celebrate the day by stepping out in their new Spring clothes. Yellow or white or red will be the order of the day, and there will be flowers in the hair and garlanded around the neck. It should be gorgeous.
I'm off to Khulna on our school trip. It's in the south-west of the country near the famous Sundarbans which is the largest mangrove swamp in the world and home to the Bengal tiger. At last I'm going to be seeing something of the country. Back on Thursday.
'Happy Springtime' she says, somewhat ironically.
