Drive through M-town

In a couple of weeks, we'll be leaving M-town, the city that we've been living in for the last year. The other day, we jumped on a rickshaw and went through town. M-town is famous for making sports equipment... cricket bats, ping-pong tables, etc... and we've been thinking about getting a ping-pong table or a foosball table. So we took a rickshaw to one of the shops that makes them...
I had fun taking pics along the way :) After much deliberation, we decided to get a fooseball table (or Football table as they call it here)... We wanted a ping-pong table, but they are too big for our house :) Oh well :) The football table will be fun :) We'll get it in about a month, so I'll be sure to post a picture when we get it :)

We alway see lots of interesting things as we drive across town :) This guy (below) was so fun to watch! He was on a cart that was stacked REALLY high with these brown bags... it was a cart pulled by an ox and it was really wiggling all around - yet somehow, the man on top was able to sleep soundly!! hahaha I thought it was awesome!!

This guy below was walking down the busy street selling ruffled potato chips!! It was a HUGE pile! I don't know how he was going to sell those before they become stale (or maybe that's not really an issue... I don't know :))

This guy below was out fixing bicycle tires... I just thought he was cool :)

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!

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!
