Prime Minister's Question Time

Our tour operator, Janet Moore, was able to arrange a meeting with Sheikh Hasina, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. We met her at the Parliament building and were shown into a room where her handlers waited with us. She was joined by her son, Joy, who is working in Washington, DC to strengthen ties between Bangladesh and the U.S. She met with us for about 30 minutes, and I think I asked the best question! Other members of our group met with the opposition leader in the evening. As a result, our group was mentioned not once but twice in the Daily Star, the local paper!
