Eid 2011

 Eid was celebrated last week.   Eid is the celebration of the end of Ramadan - Go here for more info.
 It's always fun to see the energy and excitement around town on major holidays :)   Here's Aashini outside one of the local mosques.  
 This guy (below) kept wanting his picture taken but kept making this scary face when I pulled up the camera :) haha!
 I eventually caught him smiling :) haha!

Here are the girls hanging out ;)
 I like people pictures, so here are a few pictures of people that were visiting one of the local mosques.  
 This kid was interesting to me.  He made some intense faces.
 For big holidays everyone gets dressed up.  It's hard to tell in this picture, but this kid was so cute in this super shiny outfit! (the pants were super shiny too but it's hard to tell in this picture).
 These guys were super excited and kept talking about what foods they had for breaking the fast :)
  Riding on Cycle Rickshaws around town :)
 There was a carnival next to a really old fort.   It was kinda funny to see them next to each other.  
 These kids were trying to decide what rides they wanted to go on :)  They were cute :)
That's  just a few Eid pictures :)  Thought I'd share ;)

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

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 inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll

Funny Things - Age Appropriate?
