The Best Holiday - Original Writing On the 17th of May 2003 I departed for Bangladesh. The reason I was making this journey was for my uncle’s wedding. The day I departed it was unexpectedly dull and chilly. I was excited because it would be the first time I was travelling to Bangladesh, where I would also meet my cousins from America. The journey was expected to take twenty-five hours, because my destination was about a ten hours drive from the Bangladesh International Airport, My uncle was going to meet me at the airport. I had only seen photos of my uncle so I was worried whether I would recognize him, but when I saw my uncle, I recognized him straight away because he looked like a lot like my father. Coincidentally he was also wearing similar clothes as to those in the photograph. My uncle was of medium build, quite tall, with long black hair and dark in complexion. He was very happy to see me because he had never met me before. The environment and surroundings were very different from England; it was very hot and humid. It was also very different from how I imagined it. The climate and environment was like a mixture of Africa and the Amazon, where there were occasional jungles and open dry lands. My uncle had a car waiting outside the airport, the driver loaded my luggage into the car. I sat in the car, which was like a furnace. The amazing thing was that all the windows were closed and the driver was sitting there quite comfortably. Before I could ask why he had all the windows closed, my uncle remarked ‘Don’t open the windows, it’ll just let more heat in’. It sounded amusing to me. I did not want to disobey my uncle at that instance so I tried opening the window a little after he fell asleep. When I opened the window so much hot air entered the car I felt like the car was about to take-off, so I immediately closed it.
