Zach

This is Zach.  He's my best friend in Bangladesh.  He lives across the hall and is 11 months older than I am.  I like playing with him because I learn all about the things older boys do.  Right now, he's really good at throwing balls, so I try to do the same thing.

We try to get our parents to hang out a lot, too, because then we get more time together.  Last weekend we took rickshaws and walked to a place called Wonderland.  I thought the best ride was the one on Dad's shoulders through the busy Gulshan 2 intersection.  Mom and Dad liked the one where they rode on mini train cars into a dragon's mouth and then came out of his tail.  It's tradition for people who have lived in Dhaka for a while to introduce new people like us to that ride, I guess.

Thanks for teaching me what big boys do, Zach!
