A box of goodies from home (contacts! sunglasses! and more!) AND an entire box of dark-chocolate peanut M&M's from Aunt Mary Jo! I could not ask for more.
The highlight of my day:
One was mailed from America on August 12, the other on August 21. They both arrived yesterday. The best part was, it cost me over 1,000 taka (around $10) to collect my packages. Apparently packages take less than a week to make it to Bangladesh. Then they sit around in customs, where every single box is opened, and everything is unwrapped and inspected. So that $10 I paid...they call that the "repacking fee". Don't unpack it, and I won't have to pay you to re-pack it! Oh my.

So, when we get around to collecting "stuff" and sending you a package, do we have to "declare" everything for customs. What if customs eats the chocolate? Do you get to keep the $10 fee? Meself, I favor Obama, I figure someone new like him won't owe old favors to the old politicans so our chances of a fresh start are better. Hugs, Aunt J.
