We're Back!!


We're back!! WHoo hoo! It's nice to be back, but it's also about 20-30 degrees hotter... so it's both good ad bad :) Some friends in the capital were moving out, so we bought some of their stuff from them... we really loaded up the car we rented. It was a funny trip back (although it wasn't that funny at the time)... The car was so packed out, that Adam and I had to both sit in the front seat with the driver. It was hot (about 113 degrees) and the AC in the car wasn't working (although the driver really wanted to have it on and it almost made it worse b/c it was blowing out HOT air)... We were all sweaty and gross and sitting really close to each other.... Before we got out of the capital we ran out of gas and had to coast into the gas station (going the wrong way on a one-way street) THEN the driver decides to go back a strange way and we got stuck in a lot of traffic. Then we had to pull over and talk to the cops and pay some sort of road tax in the middle of nowhere... Then, later in the middle of nowhere (again)... our taxi driver found another taxi driver he knew and we had to pull over and they talked for a while.... Eventually we got home... whoo hoo!!

Anyway, here's a couple of slide shows from our trip down south!! Here's some pics from the city we spent most of our time in... B-lore:



Here's some pics from our excursion to M-sore:

Comic Con 2013

 Comic Con 2013 just ended.  It was a fun one this year.  This was the 3rd Annual Comic Con here.  We've been to it all 3 years.  It's getting bigger each year!  I think they grew out of their venue this year...it was soooo crowded!  Here's me imitating "Superkudi" :)  Aashini and me :)  For the Love of Comics...  Some guys that were dressed up... the guy on the left isn't in his full attire... He won the CosPlay contest that day... he won a trip to Dubai to their Comic Con!!  This was my favorite costume of the day... Nyan Cat :)  There were lots of people there!  Me and the girls on the 2nd day :)  I had to have at least one jumping picture :) Our friend Ford made a video of the first day... check it out!

MasterChef Australia!!!

MasterChef Australia is a great show!  When it's on, we get it 5 days a week.  There are TONS of episodes.  The thing that makes it really cool is that the judges and contestants are all so nice!  The contestants don't stab each other in the back and they even help each other!   Anyway, the other night (a couple of weeks ago) some friends of ours were in town and wanted to go to Chili's, so we went over to the mall to eat :)  When we got there we saw that the bookstore had the Judges (and very famous chefs/restaurant owners) inside signing cookbooks!    When we got inside, they had just closed off the line, so we weren't allowed to go through the line and get them to sign a cookbook or get a pic with them :(    So... we stood as close as we could and took pics :) haha!  (and I didn't have my camera, only my phone to take pics)... Here's Gary...    Here's George with my friend Amy :)  And my at...

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!!
