Nicholas has left! What a pity, he could have stayed here for a few more days. Conclusion: a successful seasoning, if only a short one. His commentary on the travel and security guidelines of the German Foreign Office: “If you read that in advance, you will be scared, but here on the ground, I feel anything but threatened.” End of the announcement.

Otherwise, it is hot and since yesterday the Durga Puja (also Durgotsava and Navaratri) in full swing. The largest of all Hindu festivals will last for a week, teaching facilities are on vacation. But the Shankharia Bazar in Dhaka is topsy-turvy!
