Good - and bad


To start with, life in Bangladesh is not only awful. 
I might have been too harsh in my earlier posts. There will be happier times. 
  
Already now I can say that people I have met are really nice. Many Bangladeshi people may be poor but they are big spenders of smiles and laughter. 
But. 
I feel that I have to write about the bad things, too. Like the blogger killings.
On Friday a Bangladeshi blogger known for his secular views was hacked to death by a bunch of men armed with machetes. 
According to autopsy the blogger was chopped 12 times in a style similar to the previous killings of bloggers in recent months. Friday's victim was the fourth blogger to have been killed this year.  
The economy in Bangladesh has been growing fast, GDP annual growth rate has been over six per cent. I hope that tolerance will grow with at least the same pace.
