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 :)

Awesome shot of the temple! Nat. Geographic worthy! We forgot about flat stanley! We need to send another one of those around... our first attempt got lost somewhere in postal land :(

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! :))

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 - 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...
