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...

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!!

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...
