Government Laboratary High School visit

The second school we visited was an all boys' school. These boys were a lot older in general than the girls (around 16 years old). Their English was superb and we were able to have really good conversations about school, football and cricket. The whole of Bangladesh is "partying" at the moment due to the Cricket World Cup taking place in Bangladesh - even though they lost yesterday to their big rivals, India.

After we chatted for a while we were entertained by 3 lads and guitars who were so confident around singing - even that was eye-opening. Eventually we left the cheery school with many photographs being taken. They offered us games of cricket and football which I (David) really wanted to accept however, unfortunately we had to leave then.

Then we went to see the government buildings and as we posed to have our photograph taken we were surronded by many members of the public who stopped and stared at us with cameras - like we were famous. Now we are back at the hotel and have a daunting 7.30 start tomorrow!!
