Thailand Food Again :)

More funny Thai foods :) I love to see things in other countries that are the same brand as we have in America, but different (or "same same but different" as they say here) :) Funny chip flavors are some of my favorite things. Here's an interesting one ... Blueberry and Hazelnut :) I haven't tried this one yet, but I think I will soon :)

Lemon & Sesame... I did try this one - I really liked it. It was very different though :)

I'm not sure what these things are (do you know Morgan?) but I think they're so pretty :)

This one just made me laugh... I'm sure that this exists in America in the South or at least at the Fair, but here are some fried hot dogs :) haha! They LOVE hot dogs here :)

They also love all kinds of weird sea creatures here. Squid is very popular.... anyone want some squid on a stick?

I think this is an octopus tentacle on the grill - so different than the food I'm used to eating :)

This one is very interesting. It's a HUGE block of jell stuff. It's some kind of vegetable jelly. If you order it, they shave pieces off of it and put it in a bowl with crushed ice and brown colored sugar. I want to try it soon :)

I love different foods from different countries - so cool!

I love Western companies, like Pringles, that are good at marketing products internationally. And I'm interested in hearing your review of the jello thingy! I don't think I'd be that brave.

I don't know what those little rose things are, but they are pretty! They look like they may be made out of tapioca starch or something similar...

Blueberry chips? I've never seen anything like that before. We had some grilled chicken flavored Lays in Poland last week and I thought you and this post. The grilled chicken ones were really good!

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!

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...

Starbucks!

Starbucks opened in our city last night!! I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!! (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long! The wait time was about 45 minutes!!! There were so many people there!!! I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :)) Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!! The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha! haha! They had a few spills along the way :) I never got them both jumping :) Stuff for sale.... OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha! People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it insid...
