Signs! SiGnS! siGnS!

A friend and I were talking about how many funny signs we see on a daily basis. They make me laugh, so I thought I'd pass them along.

This is the Laptop and Notebook world! Does that look like a place where you would like to get your next computer? :)
Remember all those commercials that offer a kit to refill your computer ink cartridge? Have no fear - you can refill right here :)

The brand of this soap totally cracked me up!! Mysore soap?? Awesome!!

I don't know what "fancy cracker" is referring to, but this sign really made me laugh :) Is anyone getting married anytime soon?

And last but not least (for this post anyway), instructions for using an escalator. It is absolutely hilarious to watch people use escalator here. In the city we're living in, we have a new escalator and most people in our city have never used one before - Adam and I love to just sit and watch people try to use it. It's great entertainment. Some of it is very similar to the escalator scene in the movie ELF :)

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.

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 - Random :)

Here's a few random funny things ;) One thing that drives a lot of people crazy is honking! There are things that drive me crazy (like people urinating on the sidewalks - yuck!) but thankfully honking is not one of them because we hear it pretty much 24/7. We saw this poster the other day (below) and thought it was funny... BUT not as funny as the Hindi poster. The Hindi poster pretty much said that 'Honking is bad for your health' - haha ! Horns are actually a pretty necessary part of driving here. You don't really look behind you when you drive (most people either don't use their side mirrors, don't have side mirrors, or just have them folded in). When you drive, you just drive forward and you honk at the person in front of you to let them know that you're there - simple right? Sure, it's a little noisy, but you never have to look behind you :) If you go to that company's website it says: "Have patience at the traffic signals, let the signal t...
