Funny Things - Cars & Roads :)

We see funny things all the time when we're doing regular daily activities :) You never know what you're going to see :) I have a bunch of funny things to post, so today I'm limiting them to funny things that we've seen on the road... it's a "themed" funny things post :)

So we saw this horse (above) not too long ago... at first glance it looks pretty normal... then I was looking closely and saw that it had some messages shaved into it... It says HI and has an aarow pointing up... I sure hope that's not a "this-end-up" aarow, or a "get-on-the-horse-here" aarow... not sure... and I'm not sure why it was so important to have an aarow shaved into the horse... hmm... I'm sure there's a logical explaination for it..... or then again....
This sign above says that the widening of this bridge is in progress.... hmmm... really? That sign looks pretty old (notice the rust) and the bridge doesn't look that it's being worked on... hmmm.. dunno....
maybe it's not that funny...
So yesterday we were driving down the road and we saw a HUGE line of rickshaws going down the street!! There had to have been at least 50 of them!! It was amazing!!!
They were being pulled by a jeep... I thought it was so funny! I keep wondering what happens when they have to make a turn!! Winter time always brings about some really fun homemade sweaters :) You never know what you're going to see! One of the new styles that we have seen lately are the fuzzy and sparkly sweaters... Notice the guy below - although it doesn't show up very well in this pic... this guy is wearing a light purple, sparkly, fuzzy sweater :) - AWESOME!
And last, but definitely not least... this guy had some bumpers tied to his bike the other day and was trying to manover around and through traffic!! Awesome!!

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who thinks the streets in your city have crazy things on them! My favorite was the guy on the moped carrying a windshield!!

Florida Gators!

OK, so don't get me wrong by the title... I'm a super proud Florida State Grad and a big FSU fan... but this week here in Thailand, Tim Tebow is hanging out with us :) For those that don't know, he's the quarterback for University of Florida - he's a believer and a really awesome bold guy. So, since he's a Heisman winner (AND the only underclassman to ever win the Heisman) we thought we should get Aashini in a Heisman pose with him :) haha!

The Hijras are Coming!!!!

Today we had a fun / interesting cultural experience :) Here in our country, there are these people called Hijras हिजड़ा .... or Eunuchs. Most of these people are true eunuchs - they were born without male or female parts. They all live together in their own ghetto. If you have a child that is a Hijra, then they will come and demand you for your child and people here will give them their child. They all live together and in order to get money, they mostly do a glorified sort of begging. They are always dressed to the hilt. They come and visit you when you've had something big happen in your life - usually weddings and.... NEW BABIES. They come and dance and make a HUGE ruckus. They ususally do this until they are given a large amount of money. Some of them can be quite crazy and violent, but mostly they will just annoy you to death, barge into your home (or wedding) and dance and sing around until you give them money (usually around $100-200 is their demand). Everyon…

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…
