Where's Bangladesh?

Bangladesh used to East Pakistan way back from 1941-1971. This is when two large Muslim groups sought to be independent, Hindu India. East Pakistan had little in common with West Pakistan creating cultural, political, religious tension...so the Bengali's of EP created a movement which ended in becoming a separate country called Bangaldesh (that is the shortest history EVER, no disrespect intended).

Here is a map of Bangladesh. It is nestled in the "armpit" of India...actually it's very NE India with but only a sliver of India to the East. We are landing in Dhaka on February 2nd, 2009. Our wonderful friends will pick us up at the airport and take us to our little apartment :). We'll spend time in Dhaka and then travel outside of the city to a village for 2 nights. We're looking to book a river trip before departing on February 11th.
