What's the exchange rate for tooth fairies?

JACK LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!  He has officially started to be a Big Boy.  But the questions started to arise:  Will the tooth fairy come to Bangladesh?  What will she bring?  What does she do with all those teeth, anyway?  Jack insisted on putting the envelope containing his precious tooth on top of his mosquito net, just in case the tooth fairy couldn't make it through.  In the morning he found SEVENTY taka in the envelope!  In the States, he would have received a silver dollar; here he got a dollar's worth of taka.  Their faces say it all!

In other news, Ben and I are having C O F F E E this morning for the first time since London. Ahhhh...
