Margaret Riccardelli, an airline employee in her 40s, stumbled into the foreign service thinking it would be great to serve in Italy. But where did she end up? Bangladesh, where nothing ever happens. What? Instead, she was met with revolution, poverty, an 8,000 person attack on the embassy, tornadoes, a cyclone that washed 100,000 people out into the bay of Bengal, and the fun didn't stop there. It's scary and it's lonely, Margaret explains, but you step up. So what about Rome? For the whole story, read Margaret's book, Assignment Dhaka: A Foreign Service Memoir.
