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!

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!
