Old City Fun ;)

So, a few days ago, we went around the Old part of the city with our friends the Highs. They know all sorts of cool places to go and see in that area, so it was fun :)
They had one of those "Flat Stanleys" so they were taking some fun pictures with him as they went :)
I caught this guy picking his nose :) haha!
Here's Adam with Aashini in the depths of the old part of the city :) I thought this monkey was making a HILARIOUS face :) haha!
We saw some really fancy decorated temples. It was really interesting and fun :)
And... at the end of the day Aashini had her first Metro ride :)

Cool pics. What cracks me up is not only is that guy picking his nose (big time) but he looks like he is tied up too? What in the world is that all about? LOL!

I'm glad I am not the only one who noticed the nose guy all tied up- that's odd! The pics are so neat! I really like the first one and the one of the temple- so cool. How did Aashini like the Metro?

Aashini is a super extrovert already (which is good sincewe live in a city of 17 million people!) so she LOVED it :) haha!

I think that guy (that's picking his nose) has his head wrap thing tied around him... still don't know why... maybe just playing around... haha!

the monkey one is hilarious! why was the man tied up? oh, wait, i see that about a dozen other people commented on that...
and is riding the metro there as traumatizing as they make it look on 'the amazing race'? everytime an american woman gets on a metro out there on the show, she gets groped by creepy men... aashini doesn't look too worried.

Well, we're on the Metro (which is an underground and above ground subway type thing) and it's nice - crowded but nice :) ... and usually on the Amazing Race they have ridden on trains... and the ones that they've ridden on are completely crazy!(not all trains are like that though - some are awesome! :))

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!

Dusshera 2012

This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera.  At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration.   Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration.  (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....)  Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned....  They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!!  Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!!  There was burning stuff all over the street :)  Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo...

In Thailand!

We flew to Bangkok, Thailand today! The flight went well :) Aashini cried a little, but did awesome! We got the bulkhead seat and they even had an extra seat next to us! Aashini really only set in it for a pic or two, but it was fun anyway :) You can see the Buddhist monk in red behind Aashini. The guy that set next to us was a Monk also, he was actually the translator for the Dalai Lama ! Cool hunh? It was funny because he was typing on his laptop the whole flight (and Aashini was grabbing at his robe - haha!) This picture below cracked me up so I had to post it :) When we got here we had to go get a few things at the grocery store :) Aashini went to her first grocery store in the Middle East, but this was her first time getting to ride in a cart!!! She LOVED it!! She was swining her legs, babbling up a storm and looking at everything! Thai people LOVE babies!!! She got a lot of attention today! I have a feeling she's going to get a lot of attention the next coupl...
