MarKet FuN!


We went to a really fun market the other day. The women at this part of the market are considered by some "the best price hagglers in the city" - and let me tell you - they are good!! We went two different days. On the first day we went, I bought a few things and haggled with a woman for a while and still didn't get the price I wanted. We came back a few days later and when she saw me, she remembered me and picked up the exact item we had been discussing a few days before and gave me the exact same price that we had discussed a few days before. (Now, that takes talent because they see tons of people every day and they give different prices to different people, so she was really good). She wouldn't budge on the price, so I moved on... it was really fun :)

Wow that's impressive that she remembered! Even if you were the only white girl. :)

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!
