Funny Things - Rickshaws!


There are many different types of rickshaws... Auto Rickshaws, Tempos (a different sort of auto rickshaw), man-pulled Rickshaws and my favorite - Cycle Rickshaws!

Well, lately it has been raining here in the Capitol. It's not normal to rain this much this time a year!! It's as if we are in monsoon season! Anyway... what do you do if you are on a cycle rickshaw in the rain?? You ride with an umbrella of course! The guy in the back of the rickshaw isn't as funny... but the guy driving AND holding an umbrella - now that's talent!

It's hard work being a cycle rickshaw driver! ... so, they defintiely need time to rest! They can be pretty creative at resting :) The guy below doesn't look that comfortable to me... his head is on the metal! but he's zonked out!
Here's some guys cuddling up together for their afternoon nap :)
And some more cuddling....
OK, so this isn't my funniest "Funny Things" blog... but I still got a kick out of it :) Look for funnier "Funny Things" blogs to come! :)

the other month i saw 2 guys on one with the truck-bed thing, one was sitting on the front edge and they were both pedaling on the same pedals. They flew past me while i was riding a hire-rickshaw! Oh, i'm in town now until the end of feb and maybe a few days longer.

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!

We're BACK! (with Rats!)

We made it back! The flights were so long (especially our 6 hour layover right off the bat) but we made it!! We flew from Tallahassee to Memphis (where the long layover was) and then Memphis to Detroit (see picture below). It was snowing in Detroit! The only snow we saw all the time in the states was at the airpots! haha! We left Detroit about an hour late because they had to De-ice the plane! I'm from the south so I had no idea that they did that... and that it would take so long! haha! We were an hour late coming into Amsterdam (where it was snowing too!) and had to rush to our gate (it was a blur of wooden shoes!)... When we got in the plane we had to wait about 1.5 hours while they de-iced that plane! So we got into the Captial at about 2:00 am!! When we got home we were welcomed to a rat infestation in our bathroom!!! EWWWW!!!! Aparently, if the toilet isn't flushed for a couple months and dries out, then rats can crawl UP the TOILET!!! yes... nice... They wrecked our ba...
