Signs and Other Funny Things...

So, sometimes I walk through the market and I don't think anything of the signs I see, but then there's some days when I see the same signs I've seen over and over and realize that there's something funny about that sign... take this sign for example...

I guess it was supposed to be Snacks or Shakes... but SNAKES!! hahaha -- and for a vegetarian society, that's quite a funny missprint :)

You know how sometimes you see how trees have grown into a metal fence or something like that... well, yesterday we saw that this tree above, has grown over this scooter tire... hmm.... how on earth did that happen????? Really? Any ideas?

And this dog was just so cute, I had to post him... we don't see many cute dogs around here... unless they are shipped over from other countries... anyway, this dog made me smile so I thought I'd pass this pic along too to maybe make you smile :)

I happen to be an expert on botany. Masters from Harvard and Oxford....that is a rubber tree. This particular genus produces tires.

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...
