Excursion

The last couple of days we went to another city about 4 hours from where we are right now. This city is famous for silk (very expensive!), Sandalwood and all kinds of wood stuff.... The city also has may palaces... We went to this crazy fruit and vegetable market! It was awesome! It was mine and Adam's fave spot. They were selling a lot of Jasmine flowers - it smelled sooooo good!!
And here's another pic of the flowers... they were really cool! All the women around here wear them in their hair and it rocks!!!We went to a palace here... it was HUGE and had wood in it that was shipped from England a long time ago. This is in the back part of one of the palaces... there was a camel! I love those things, their lips crack me up!! These ladies were at the fruit market, I thought they were cool...

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!

Jaya's Engagement!

My good friend Jaya (Mayank's sister that lives in M-town) - just got engaged!  On Sunday, I took the trip to M-town to go to her Engagement Ceremony (or Ring Ceremony).  It was a lot of fun :)!   First Stop - Beauty Parlor!  We walked a little ways down the street to a lady's house.  The beauty parlor was in one of the rooms in her house.  Jaya had already been to her house that morning to get her hair done, but now it was time for the makeup.  This beauty parlor was interesting because it only had 2 light bulbs in the whole room (and they were the energy saver kind that were dimmer than the regular ones), so it wasn't that bright inside the room.   Here's a pic of Jaya in the chair getting her makeup done.   Notice that her hair is crimped.  They use the crimper on people's hair when it's a special occasion - awesome!!! They put a  bindi  on her head and then the lady painted more and made it super fancy. Here's the finished product (after 1.5 hours)!  She...
