In the Capital :)

Adam & I have been here in the capital for the last few days doing some "super-fun-house-hunting"... (that's what I like to call it... even though it's anything but super fun... oh well :)) Anyway, one of our first days here, we met up with Adam's old language helper (Deepansh)... he just recently moved to the capital area... he's been living alone, so he's learned how to cook some and so he invited us over for lunch. He cooked us Dahl and it was really good :) We had fun hanging out with him and catching up :)

The next day, we took the metro!! I was super impressed... it's so nice!! I definitely wasn't expecting it to be so nice :)
We took the metro to the far northern part of the capital. We were potentially looking for housing up there... You can see the areas we were looking at below and you can also see the metro line on the left side of the picture... pretty impressive :)When we first took the metro - it was morning time, but by the time we started back, it was afternoon and MAN it was crazy!!! When we took the metro in Thailand, the people waiting to get on or off knew that the people getting on would stay to the side and the people getting off, would go through the middle... well... it didn't really work that way here :) At one stop we were in the middle of everyone pushing from every direction!! The people behind us were pushing us in and the people inside- that were trying to get out- were pushing us out... In true South Asian fashion... I ended up inside without too many bruises :) It was pretty fun :)
Well, we'll keep you posed on our "super-fun-house-hunting" :) whoo hoo!!

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!!
