While on our survey of the Sundarbans, we got an awesome opportunity to check out the traditional fishing methods. The simple boats were wonderful to watch and the blue nets provided a very calm and peaceful landscape of the region. Upon inquiring we found that these farmers spend almost a week in the waters, fishing and then traveling back to the port to drop the catch and claim their money.
Ok, the point of this story is that when we saw smoke coming from the boats, it wasn’t that they were on fire. They were simply cooking. Check out the picture. A clay cookstove on a boat! It’s impressive. I had to take this picture and also comment that we saw many such cookstoves as we visited many villages in Bangladesh. None of them used the latest in rocket elbow technology that my friends at Envirofit ( http://envirofit.org/clean_cookstoves.html ) are developing. My fellow classmates of the Powermundo team ( http://www.biz.colostate.edu/ms/GSSE/ProgramOverview/Projects.htm ) should also consider Bangladesh as their next market.

All these things can be found in them. A great Christmas Gift for the Wife will not only show that you pay attention, but also include actual attention! A nice dinner and an intimate evening are in order. I bought a Pioneer DEH_P3800MP(Car Stereo) + Pioneer CD_IB100II (Ipod Adapter).
