Most Fashionable Mom!

Sundays at the mall are pretty fun. It's the only day of the week that most people aren't working (unless they're in the business of selling things, if so, it's their busiest day!). Since people aren't working, they like to go out and do fun or relaxing things. The malls, markets and parks are usually packed! The mall by our house usually has some sort of event going on every Sunday. This past weekend they had a whole section of the mall giving out free food samples. There were about 30 booths of free food! Food samples are NOT common here, so it was very fun for us - felt like being at Sam's Club in America on a Saturday...
I digress.... so anyway, a week or so ago, they had a contest on Sunday for the Most Fashionable Mom. They have been advertising this contest for over a month, so I guess the people involved were the finalists.
It was quite hilarious! To start with, each mom had to walk down the runway (while the fog machine went crazy! it was awesome!) and then talk about themselves.
This mom (in the picture below) brought a picture of her god on stage with her. Most people talked for a short time, but she talked a LONG time!
Here's a video (only 11 seconds) of one of the ladies walking down the runway. It was pretty funny. She walks backwards and it makes me laugh :)

Here are some of the people watching - I think the expressions (or lack of expressions) on their faces are funny to me :)
The contest started with the runway and talking about themselves. Then, the judges (pic below) asked them questions (like a beauty pageant). It was really long!
We didn't actually see who won (it was too long to stay) but it was really fun to watch :)

I was totally expecting you to be in this post!! I guess because Aashini is a model, it fits for her mom to be a cute maternity fashion icon too! :)

I'm with Christine and Emily. I can't think of a single good reason you shouldn't have been in this contest. :)

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!

We're BACK! (with Rats!)

We made it back! The flights were so long (especially our 6 hour layover right off the bat) but we made it!! We flew from Tallahassee to Memphis (where the long layover was) and then Memphis to Detroit (see picture below). It was snowing in Detroit! The only snow we saw all the time in the states was at the airpots! haha! We left Detroit about an hour late because they had to De-ice the plane! I'm from the south so I had no idea that they did that... and that it would take so long! haha! We were an hour late coming into Amsterdam (where it was snowing too!) and had to rush to our gate (it was a blur of wooden shoes!)... When we got in the plane we had to wait about 1.5 hours while they de-iced that plane! So we got into the Captial at about 2:00 am!! When we got home we were welcomed to a rat infestation in our bathroom!!! EWWWW!!!! Aparently, if the toilet isn't flushed for a couple months and dries out, then rats can crawl UP the TOILET!!! yes... nice... They wrecked our ba...
