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!

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...

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!
