Bangkok!

BAnGkOk!
Well, we left Chiang Mai and headed down south to Bangkok for our vacation :) ... We've had a lot of fun :) We've seen a lot of things and traveled so many different ways... so far we've traveled by airplane, boat, water taxi, songtao, tuk tuk, bus, sky train, metro... well, it seemed like a lot to me :) While in Bangkok, we got to go to the top of the "world's tallest hotel" (that's what the pic from the top is from)...At the top of the hotel, Adam and I got to play ona rickshaw - it was really fun :) We visited the Siam Aquarium... it's supposed to be one of the biggest aquariums in Asia... It was neat... there were all kids of crazy fish!!

We took a boat up and down one of the big rivers in Bangkok and went to see some old buildings and some other things... We got to see the largest "reclining buddah" in Thailand... it was HUGE, it's hart to imagine any bigger than that!! Anyway, we had fun! Right now we're in Pattaya and it's not so great of a city, so we're going to try to bus and boat on down the coast to a cool island :) We'll keep you posted :)

You guys ROCK!!!

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...
