Being Nose-y :)

Today Emily & I went to get our noses pierced. This was actually my third time getting my nose pierced - haha! Long story... but we went to the store to get it pierced (same guy who pierced mine the other two times) :) Emily decided to go first...
It's a little different to get your nose pierced here than in America. They don't have piercing guns... they just use the nose ring and some pliers :)I think I look silly... haha!
OK, and here's the final product (no, I'm not crying, it just makes my eye water :))
Afterwards we went to Costa Coffee for lunch :)... and we took another picture - this picture is really funny! haha! :)

I know the significance of getting your nose pierced, but I guess it doesn't matter which side? Just wondering. You are one brave girl for doing it a 3rd time! What a pain! Literally.

That's the same guy who did mine! Man, I miss my nose ring. I really don't want to get mine redone here. It's too expensive. And using a gun kinda sounds worse than the way he does it.

That pic of Emily is probably the best ever of her.
You two look gorgeous! Not that it matters, but I totally would have gone with yall if I lived there!

...are they just hard to keep up with? Is that the reason for the re-piercing? Does he use the same hole?

Also...
what do Hazel and Aashini do during your outings? Do you two have "off days" where James and Adam take over and give you girls a day out? (just wanting to know how its done...I've yet to be away from Isaac)

Merrit - Over here everyone gets their nose pierced on the left side... in America it's usually the right side...

Sharon - The first time my nose was pierced, I tried to change the nose ring in M-town and I couldn't get it back in and by the time I got back to the capital it had grown back - so I got the re-pierced... then the week I got put on bed rest (when preg) - my nosering fell out - and then grew back, so I waited until now to re-pierce it b/c they don't recommend getting piercings while preggers, AND since I was going to have to take it off when I had the baby, then I just figured I'd wait :)

Adam and I take turns having days off here and there. Today Emily and I had a girl's morning out :) The guys have bottles to feed the girls for when they get hungry while we're out ;)

So... he just poked it in there? No "gun"? They used a piercing "GUN" for mine and it hurt like the dickens!!! (Keeping in mind that I cried on the first shot day...) I cried like a little girl! Wow. Mine hurt. But I'm glad I got it done. I love it! And I'm glad ya'll got yours done too! I've been trying to get Em to do it for a while!

so, even though merritt is wordly and in-the-know, I actually DON'T know the significance of the nose piercing. I guess I could google it, but I'd rather here it from you - always more entertaining!

it looks really pretty and feminine and sparkly and fun! hope it didn't hurt too much!

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...
