love Lundazi
My late wife and I and our children lived in Lundazi from 68 to 70. We taught at the sexondary school. Life was exciting. The experience, along with the other 5 years I spent in Zambia, has affected my life. It was a wonderful time: superb young people to teach, weekend in the "valley", holidays on the beach at Nkhata Bay. Trips to Chipata on the road, unpaved. Such a wonderful time. Alan Palmer

Sounds like a wonderful time, and love to imagine what it might have been like back then.

Thanks for the writing. Nicely portrayed the day of Pohela Boishakh. There are lots of issues behind this poverty in Bangladesh but let's not just focus that and enjoy the joyous moments of the day... Thanks :)

Nice blog
Hey there - just saw your blog after doing some random surfing on Lundazi. We just missed each other. I lived there with my girlfriend (wife in Lundazi!) until June 2010. We had a lot of fun and miss it a lot - as I am sure you do to. If you are interested I wrote a blog too - not as good as yours becuase I was under pressure to write about development themes... I should have just stuck to describing what life was like - that is enough about development for most people. Betty worked for Thandizani - just next to sugar cane corner. We walked past there everyday for almost 2 years and I sometimes saw people selling sugar cane there (I bought one once) but never unnattended! Did you ever get to the bottom of that? Anyway - thanks for giving me a bit of nostalgia... hope you had a good time in Lundazi, it seems like you did. John

Much delayed response from a muzungu
Hi John, So this response is about a year overdue. I am just reviving my travelblog as I have returned to Bangladesh. And so glad to share the love of Lundazi a little bit. I was there two summers and was so happy. Alas because of drama and heartbreak I should probably never go back, but I hope that others can enjoy all of it's quiet beauty (and sugarcane). Happy travels! Libby

Prevention is better than cure
Well,i fell very good reading this blog.Really prolapse uterus has become the burden in the reproductive health status of Nepal.We should appreciate the work done by NGO and INGO in this field.But waht is lack is the major preventive startegy like physical therapy.Prescribing only kegal exercise doesnt hold that much of importance untill and unless it is synchronised with respiratory and abdominal muscle(transversus abdominis).Kegal exercise has become old and produces only the isometric contractionof pelvic floor rather than the kegal women in nepal seeks tanzberger exercise which is more practicle and task and result oriennted.But it has been very unfortunate that non of the agencies has implemented this sort of strategy.Being a physical therapist what i wamt to suggest is that it would be almost impossible to control the new cases of prolapse uterus untill and unless women who are risk learns to activate or exercise their pelvic floor muscle during the activity of daily living.

History
I happened on your blog by accident whilst googling Lundazi and was fascinated by it. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It has brought a flood of memories back to me about my childhood there. My parents taught at the local secondary school and my brother and I attended the local primary school. There was a large ex-pat community in Lundazi in the 70's and early 80's and you would have Russian teachers sharing meals and drinks with American teachers during the height of the cold war! Good luck in your endeavours.
