Comic Con

A couple of weekends ago we went to the 2nd Annual Comic Con in our country :)  (to see pictures from last year's, click HERE).  There were all kinds of funny characters there :)
When we walked in, we saw our friends there.   Their daughter had the same idea as Aashini :)   Here are our cute blonde Spidergirls :)
Diya wanted to go as Tinkerbell, but wanted to wear Aashini's mask a little bit too :)
There were all kinds of booths there this year.  It was MUCH bigger than last year.  Here is the "John Carter" booth... not sure what I think about this movie...
The Avengers booth was really fun!
Aashini was Wolverine :)  (last year she met wolverine!)
There was a guy there drawing people's faces onto super heroes (for free!) :)
The girls got free coloring comic books and markers and decided to color them on the stage (they were in between sessions)... and the "paparazzi" was surrounding them the entire time they were coloring.
Spidergirl and a local comic book character.
This lady was awesome!  She had this sari hand-printed just for ComicCon!   A Batman Sari!!!  How cool is that????
Look at the back of her Sari Blouse!!!  LOVE it!  haha!
Aashini got to punch out a wall at the Avenger's booth :)  She thought it was awesome :)
Do I look like the Hulk?
Like ComicCon in America, people came to ComicCon here all dressed up (but much more conservative!! and much more clothed :))
Another X-men Character :)
This guy was scary looking!
Aashini with one of the local Cartoon Characters.... Chota Beem.

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...

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!

In Thailand!

We flew to Bangkok, Thailand today! The flight went well :) Aashini cried a little, but did awesome! We got the bulkhead seat and they even had an extra seat next to us! Aashini really only set in it for a pic or two, but it was fun anyway :) You can see the Buddhist monk in red behind Aashini. The guy that set next to us was a Monk also, he was actually the translator for the Dalai Lama ! Cool hunh? It was funny because he was typing on his laptop the whole flight (and Aashini was grabbing at his robe - haha!) This picture below cracked me up so I had to post it :) When we got here we had to go get a few things at the grocery store :) Aashini went to her first grocery store in the Middle East, but this was her first time getting to ride in a cart!!! She LOVED it!! She was swining her legs, babbling up a storm and looking at everything! Thai people LOVE babies!!! She got a lot of attention today! I have a feeling she's going to get a lot of attention the next coupl...
