Sacrifices, Challenges, & Opportunities

[Shawn]

Where do I begin? There was no one word that could describe how I felt as I was packing up to go home. I felt kind of foolish because the real straw that broke the camel's back was my dead LaCie harddrive. When I got home, after the culture shock, I felt lucky. The blood tests I took here helped explained why I was feeling so sick, tired, and ill those last few months in Bangladesh. But, in the best case scenario, this problem was due to the iron-heavy drinking water in Bangladesh. What does that say about what awaits me when I return? I certainly don't want to stop this project - although, given the financial (and now medical) strains, it's only a matter of time until I have to stop.

This video is one of my sadder videos. It's also one of the least watched videos on my channel. So if you haven't already, please do take a look.

The Dhaka to Hong Kong part of the journey lent itself to this beautiful view as we flew into the sunrise...



Even though it's just an airport, I was absolutely amazed at the view. I really like those hills...



Here's a shot of the hills just before take-off..



And some amazing views after take-off:



Although I definitely had a mixture of feelings about leaving, the view during the journey back was absolutely amazing.

Like I said on YouTube, take care of yourself. You can't keep helping people if you're in a hospital or, Heaven forbid, worse.
