Bits and Pieces

So as many people know, my sister and brother are in Bangladesh. We are planning to go visit them soon, perhaps early next year. Right now things are pretty turbulent due to some election protests, check out the story on BBC.

Just 5 days before the mid-term elections and it looks like things are still leaning toward the Democrats making big gains! Check out a nifty status of the contested senate and house races here. Go Dems!

Yup, things are rather crazy here in Bangladesh with the elections coming up (they're scheduled for January). Also, you might have heard about the Nobel Peace Prize going to Professor Yunus, who designed the Grameen Bank here in Bangladesh, which has also created quite a stir.
