Santa is in South Asia!!

So last weekend, we heard that Santa was going to be in town... we decided that we definitely needed to check that out :) We went to this store called Westside... it's like an American department store! It's crazy! I forgot I was in South Asia when I went inside :) We walked in, and sure enough, there was Santa - equipped with his empty bag for toys and his balloon..? hmm.... He's a little different than I remembered him from before... Besides the obvious things, his belly seems a little high up... hmmm.... haha - it makes me laugh :)

Now, in our area, most people don't celebrate Christmas - but that doesn't stop the guys on the street from trying to make a little money off of the season :) There are guys all over the street corners selling Santa hats... it makes me laugh :)

Hope your Christmas ROCKS!!!

That is an awesome very south asian santa. I hope he's still around this weekend- we're planning to take Kiran.

HAHA!! His cinched waist and "belly" made me laugh out loud. I love it! I totally bought one of those hats off the side of the road! It's a bit small for our American heads, but that's okay. :)

That belly is hilarious! The Santa's here are really skinny, but they don't even bother to add a belly...which also makes me laugh :-)

Weekend Getaway!!

During the Diwali holidays, the kiddos had off almost a week of school. So, us and some of our friends went on a getaway! We went just a little outside of the city to another state and stayed at a fun resort. Look at the view from our room! Fun hunh? Aashini and Diya got to play a lot with their buddies Sanjana and Sandeep :) The kiddos had a great time on the outside play area :) The boys spent most of their time playing sports! haha! They played Badminton (pictured below), Tennis, Water Polo and Cricket at any chance they got! :) They played ALL day long! haha! The hotel also had an indoor play area. They kids had a lot of fun at that one too :) It had a crazy slide that was super steep and fast! They usually ended up sliding across the floor a few feet after they slid off :) haha! We all tried the slide too :) haha! There were fountains and water ever...

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...

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!
