Scooter Twin!
April 22, 2008

I am so excited! Tonight I saw another woman driving a motor scooter. It was the same model and color as mine. I pulled up next to her at the intersection, smiled, and said, "Amar tomar motorcycle khub bhalo lage" (I really like your motorcycle). She looked at me and giggled.

I am no longer the only woman in Bangladesh who drives a motorcycle! While it may seem like a small thing to my friends in the west, over here it is actually quite a step forward for female independence!
