Today we were invited to the house of the village opinion leader, a title that just seems to designate that he is respected. He welcomed us and offered a meal of cornmeal, rice, a beef curry, and fresh vegetables. We ate with our hands, as per Bengali custom, and talked about differing values in our cultures. We had to convince him that we love our families and are not totally individualistic, as the family bonds between extended family in the village culture are arguably a good deal stronger than those of our culture, as many members of an extended family live together in a household. We walked back to the RDA along a two lane highway that routinely sees tour buses race to pass each other, narrowly avoiding rickshaws and pedestrians and blaring their horns all the while. At the RDA, we've been working on a Bengali dance for the culture night we're putting on with other students that are staying here and finalizing our proposals for the papers we'll be writing based on our research. Tomorrow is our last day here in Bogra before we head to the tea plantations in Srimongol. It's good fun here, but I'm starting to look forward to the next semester of school.
