Funny for Fun

So I have a bunch of funny pics that I've been meaning to post... so I thought I'd do so today :) This pic below cracks me up... right above this McDonalds is "The Wellness Store" - it cracks me up every time I see it :)
In the pic below you can see the eggs that we normally buy... here there are pretty much two types of eggs you can buy... the cheap ones that most people buy (and you tell them how many you want and they put them in a plastic bag for you - so you have to be careful) and these eggs... we actually like the taste of these better and the stamp on them says "guaranteed against bird flu" so we figured they were good eggs to pick.... But what cracks me up is that on the box of eggs it says that they are "Near Organic"... Not sure what that means - I thought things were either organic or not... Maybe not, but it still makes me laugh :)
We got this tomato the other day... it's kinda cute :)
I've been meaning to post this pic (below) for a while - I like how bathroom signs are different in different countries. My friend Deanna wrote a post recently about her trip to Italy and their bathroom door signs had bows on them (on the head for girls and neck for boys)... the ones here are fun too :) The girls on this sign wears a Sari :)
You may not think this pic below is funny... but to me, there's just something funny about a horse carrying a cart full of wheels... ok, so I think it's funny :)
So, last, but not least.... this guy has quite the spare tire :) haha!

HA!! Don't you love living in a foreign country?! I don't know what's funnier - the way the tomato looks or the fact that you took a picture of it!

I like how the eggs are delivered from "the farm..." WHAT farm? THE farm? we're supposed to know what that means? :)

when my sister (who doesn't speak german) was in germany, she commented that Damen (whch means "ladies") sure looks a lot like it would mean da MEN. And Herren (which means "gentlemen") has a HER in it. Very misleading, in her book. I think all over the world, women should wear saris on toilet signs. It would prevent a lot of confusion!

Great post!!! I love your photos - you always find such humorous things. Thanks for the sari photos too - that's cool. Do they refrigerate eggs there? Cause they don't here and it bothers me everytime I go to buy eggs off a shelf in the middle of the store.

I had so many great pics like this when we lived in China. :)

You wrote me some questions on a comment on my blog, and I'd be happy to dialog with you about it but in order to be more open, we're gonna have to pull it back to e-mail. Feel free to e-mail me and we'll get the conversation rolling. makinghome@pobox.com

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...

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!

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...
