Last Few Days in CM

So tomorrow is our last day in Chiang Mai and weve been having a lot of fun :) It's been great to see old friends and meet new friends - it's been awesome! Aashini is such a people person and has loved meeting so many people :)
We got to see our friend's Jacob & Sara, their daughter and their new little baby girl :)
Aashini made a lot of new friends... Here's a pic (below) of Aashini with two of her teachers :) She loved them :)
Aashini had fun with Brooke and really loved her shoes! She seems to gravitate towards pink things - haha!
About a year and a half ago, when Adam and I were walking through the night market in Chiang Mai and spotted Nigel Lythgoe... (if you want to see the post then click: Nigel Lythgoe Spotting)... Then, on this trip we got to meet Tim Tebow (see post below)... and tonight in the night market, we spotted Henry Rollins and Adam took his picture with him... I didn't recognize him and didn't know who he was at first and I actually told Adam to stay away from him because he seemed creepy (which he was) ... so we took a pic and he moved on - haha! I guess famous people like Chaing Mai :)

haha That's funny!! I don't know who he is either...I had to go to the link you provided, and still nothing is ringing a bell. Adam is a pop culture whiz...Nigel Lithgow, Habeeb, now this. :)
Speaking of Nigel, I've watched SYTYCD...I love it!!

I've never even met ONE famous person and you guys have met tons! so jealous! (well, not about henry rollins, if I'm honest... but the other two are cool.)
Your stroller does look like our old one. I hope it lasts longer! Did you buy it in Thailand?

Actually, I think famous people like you guys...we have lived in Chiang Mai for over two years and have never seen a famous person here! We always hear rumors about various celebrities being in town, and we never seem to be in the right place at the right time to catch them. You two have excellent timing! Glad you guys had a great trip--wish we could have seen you this time!

Okay, I definitely appreciate a Nigel Lythgoe spotting! I'm into SYTYCD right now! I watched last season a couple months ago and am looking forward to another week of this one in the next day or so! Yeah for a picture of Debbie C...we love them! I like that I recognize a lot of people and places in your recent posts!! And by the way,, I think you have just the CUTEST little girl!!

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...
