'eight miles a minute, for months at a time'

I'm back in New York working daily assignments again, drinking Starbucks, appreciating first world amenities, catching up with friends, moving apartments and trying to get back on my feet. While it's a relief to have some paychecks coming in, I'm missing Asia alot. I miss riding around on the back of motorcycles, sleeping under mosquito nets, living out of a backpack, the crowded smelly trains of Kolkata and shooting the pictures I really care about. I'm counting my days and dollars until I can make it back to Bangladesh again to continue the tiger project with Rajib.
