Last Stuff :)

We're home now... our train ride home was nice and easy :) We sat by the window, so we were able to plug in our laptop and watch movies on our ride home :) It was cool :) We came with 2 bags and left with 4 (not unusual for us :)) It wasn't difficult to get onto the train because there are a bunch of coolies (porters) to help with your luggage and to help get it on the train... BUT when we arrived in our city, we had 2 minutes to get all our heavy bags off the train and ourselves, before the train left again :) But no problem :) We made it out and our taxi, that we had called in advance, was waiting for us :) Nice!! Now, the heat hit us pretty hard, but it was nice to dry out a little bit :)

I decided I'd use this blog to post some last pictures from our mountain trip :) The picture on the left is the picture I promised when we first got there, of our tiny doorways :) Now you can see why I bumped my head so many times :)


We had fun with the tailors there... there were lots of foreigners up there, so they were good at making western clothes :) I got 2 pairs of jeans made and some shirts... Adam had 2 pairs of cargos, a pair of jeans and a nice suit :) It was really cool :) We had dinner with one of the tailors one night :) They were funny :)

One day it was actually clear enough to see the Himalayas :) Cool hunh? (the Himalayas are the white tops peaking out from the top of the green mountians) :)

In one area of the market, there were always these guys that would walk around (or sit around) with these "lunch-box" looking things that said Body Massage... they seemed just a little scary to me :) Waddya think? Anyone up for a body massage from that guy??

This is the road by our house... we walked on that road everyday... It looks cool in this pic... It was foggy like this almost every day :)

I thought this lady was cool :) She was in town from her village on a holiday weekend. She was selling "second-hand" clothes... Goodwill - it was awesome ;)

This is what the market looked like during a "flat part"... as you can see, it's still pretty "slanty" :) Now these were crazy!!! Man-powered Farris Wheels!!! They were cool!! Adam and our friend John got on it and went for a crazy ride!! The guys powering it stand in the middle and walk on the bars to get it going... after a while, they end up almost running across the middle!! It's not your typical farris wheel!! It is super fast!! It's like a roller coaster!! Adam & John were starting to get a little sick... They were going soooo fast... then, after some time, the guys from the middle kind of held on to areas and slowed the farris wheel down... then they started the wheel going the opposite direction!! By the time the ride was done, Adam and John were feeling pretty sick :) It was funny :)

And of course, I can't end a blog without a funny sign (or something like that)... This picture below is from a bottle of hair gel I bought... It was "DOVE" brand. Tell me, does anyone know what SPFTMESS AMDLOGH INESS is?? hmm... do you want to make your hair like that??

Haha...at first I thought I was all smart and figured out that whoever typed on the gel had their right hand one letter too far over, meaning SPFTMESS = SOFTNESS. However, that would mean the rest of it would be SOFTNESS ANDKIGG UBESS. I'm not as smart as I thought I was afterall. :)

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll

Funny Things - Age Appropriate?
