Checking email, Bangladesh — June 27, 2004

Even the mere act of checking email commands an audience of at least ten people. One of the great features of a trip to Bangladesh is the opportunity to see exactly how Bono or Brad Pitt feels everyday. Every word I typed was greeted with applause, laughter and curiosity. As a result, it’s not easy being productive here, but the warm hearts and smiles of these people will be a memory that will last a lifetime. (And how can one complain about the 45¢ per hour computer usage rate?)
