Oh No!!!!

So, our favorite place that we shop is at the PVS mall... It's the only "western-type" place in our whole city... there's nothing anything like it anywhere else near us...there's a store in the mall that is the closest thing we have to Wal-Mart... it has all the basic stuff that we need all in one store!! (so we don't have to go to a million stores :)
Well, one day, while we were up in the mountains we got a TON of phone calls!! Everyone was telling us that there was some kind of short-circuit... and our PVS mall had pretty much burned up.... It was a very sad thing :( Our favorite store is GONE!!! :(
Well, ends up, that the whole mall wasn't damaged... so our two western restrauants (Pizza Hut & McDonalds) might be opening in the next couple of days :) Which would be awesome!! I"ll keep you posted :)
WHile we were up in the mountains, I got an email from my sister telling me that she sent me a postcard from Chicago, but she forgot to put the postage on it... Well, when I got home, guess what was waiting for me??? HER POSTCARD!!! How crazy is that?? hahaha awesome!

yeah, that's what we've heard :) But it will take a while, and we'll probably be living in the capital by then :) Oh well :)

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!

In Thailand!

We flew to Bangkok, Thailand today! The flight went well :) Aashini cried a little, but did awesome! We got the bulkhead seat and they even had an extra seat next to us! Aashini really only set in it for a pic or two, but it was fun anyway :) You can see the Buddhist monk in red behind Aashini. The guy that set next to us was a Monk also, he was actually the translator for the Dalai Lama ! Cool hunh? It was funny because he was typing on his laptop the whole flight (and Aashini was grabbing at his robe - haha!) This picture below cracked me up so I had to post it :) When we got here we had to go get a few things at the grocery store :) Aashini went to her first grocery store in the Middle East, but this was her first time getting to ride in a cart!!! She LOVED it!! She was swining her legs, babbling up a storm and looking at everything! Thai people LOVE babies!!! She got a lot of attention today! I have a feeling she's going to get a lot of attention the next coupl...
