Salaam,

So i walked into my bedroom the other day, and what do i see...? a BAT flying around...i dont think i like animals any more..

Have not done much in the past few days so am actually having a holiday...went to visit two brick factories on Thursday though...yes, you read correctly, brick factories. We have some land near a river where my dad for some reason wants me to build a brick factory. Underneath the top soil is the clay like material which can be used direct to make the bricks and every yr when the river floods this material is replenished so you can carry on making more bricks.

There's two brick factories on the other side of the river so i went with a relative to check the competition out. Both of them were huuuge, but pretty primative in terms of technology used. The process was basically:

1) Lots of guys cutting up the clay with shovels
2) Putting the material into a machine which makes the clay softer like putty
3) Manually putting the clay into a rectangular brick sized shaper
4) Leaving in the sun to dry
5) Putting the bricks in a big oven

Now you all know how bengali bricks are made...but apprently 1000takas worth of bricks can be sold for 2300takas so there's money to be made. We'll see what happenes iA.

Also visited one relative who got missed out, but i think this was on purpose cos they live so far away. The trip consisted of a two hour car ride along something which deff can not be called a road and THEN a ten minute boat trip...but Alh they were really nice and appreciated the effort we went to.


Questions i have been asked about the Uk aka London (By adults...)

1) Do people die in London?
2) What colour are leaves in London?
3) Do you hvae thieves in London?

Must dash

Salaam
