Super Bowl MONDAY!

Yes, I did say that correctly... SUPER BOWL MONDAY! yesterday morning (Monday) at 4:30 AM... the Superbowl came on here on our ESPN channel! So, a bunch of us got together at a friend's house to watch it! So at 4:30 AM I was watching football (which is hardly ever on TV here), eating brownies, salsa & chips and drinking coke :) It was fun :) The only problem was that we didn't get any of the good commercials... we only got local commercials... There was a cycle of the same cricket and football (soccer) commercials over and over... oh well :) It was fun to be up that early watching football :) I definitely wouldn't do that for just any game though... but that was definitely fun :)

In other not-as-interesting-news... we got some new chairs!!! :) We were out with some friends helping them look at furniture and we saw some chairs we liked :) They were VERY comfortable and a great price, so we got them! Now our house is starting to feel more comfortable :) And we now have some plaid chairs!!

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 - Random :)

Here's a few random funny things ;) One thing that drives a lot of people crazy is honking! There are things that drive me crazy (like people urinating on the sidewalks - yuck!) but thankfully honking is not one of them because we hear it pretty much 24/7. We saw this poster the other day (below) and thought it was funny... BUT not as funny as the Hindi poster. The Hindi poster pretty much said that 'Honking is bad for your health' - haha ! Horns are actually a pretty necessary part of driving here. You don't really look behind you when you drive (most people either don't use their side mirrors, don't have side mirrors, or just have them folded in). When you drive, you just drive forward and you honk at the person in front of you to let them know that you're there - simple right? Sure, it's a little noisy, but you never have to look behind you :) If you go to that company's website it says: "Have patience at the traffic signals, let the signal t...
