Funny Things - CWG Edition :)

During the Commonwealth Games there were quite a few things that made me laugh :) Rugby had quite a few things (there will be another post on that later)... Anyway, Rugby is a crazy aggressive sport! They do just about anything to get that ball! One thing they did in one of the games I watch was give wedgies! Tonga seemed to be really good at that :) haha! Look in the picture below, you'll see a guy with black bike shorts that looks like he's wearing a diaper... those are his shorts... you can see the Tonga guys pulling them up!
The poor guy must have had a pretty bad wedgie - here they are doing it again! Yikes!
We saw this vending machine as we were getting on the metro one day at the games... it was an empty vending machine with the phrase "Vending Without Ending" on the top - haha! Made me laugh :)

That IS really funny that they give wedgies! I guess maybe that's why they wear those bike shorts underneath? Otherwise, it would be both painful and embarrassing!

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...
