As much as I wish it wasn't the case, I am afraid I will not be able to continue my record of perfect attendance at the NUE DOs. The dates conflict with a program I have to attend here in Dhaka before I finish my assignment on 19 December and return permanently to Washington, DC.
I'm really going to miss seeing everyone, consuming pork in its various forms (Bangladesh is majority Muslim, so pork is not easily available), and experiencing the fantastic Christmas Markets.
Hopefully I'll be able to make the 7th Franconian DO, when it is scheduled.
