Fun Things!

hey! Thought I'd put up some pics of things that make me laugh :) Most of these pics are from one of our many car trips from the capital city to our city :)
This is a pic from a gas station :) I guess these buckets are for if there is a fire :) They were empty though :) haha They have these inside the movie theatre also :)
This is a common sight on the road... (although this truck is pretty empty)... everyone just piles in and heads to town :)
This is what our "trash trucks" look like :) A guy comes by our house on a rickshaw and takes our trash and puts it in a bag like this on his rickshaw :) Cool hunh?
This pic makes me laugh :) The back of the white car says: "Power Brake - Keep Distance" :) Then you see all the other vehicles up ahead... the coolest is the chicken truck with the guys on top :)

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...
