Funny Things... again...

Well, we're here in B'lore... but we've been in meetings most of the time that we've been here, so we don't have tons of pictures from this trip, BUT we have had a lot of fun and have seen some funny things :) One thing that is fun about being down south is that there are Coconut Trees!! Everyone has had fun trying to climb them :) Adam hasn't made it up to the coconuts yet... I think it's the "trying to figure out how to get down" thing that keeps him from going higher... for some reason, you can't go down the same way you go up... so he has a lot of "tree burns" from sliding down :) There is a LOT of traffic down here in B'lore... the other day we saw this funny little car driving in traffic... now, you may see these from time to time in America... but this is the first one we have seen here and it was sooo funny to see it in the traffic with the other cars :) It's amazing how many people they could put in that car!! If you look closely at the pic below, you can see the driver guy smiling really big... he just loved that I was taking a picture of his car :)
We were at a store and saw this T-shirt that said: "Beauty is in the eye of the bearholder"... hmmm... ok.... well, we thought it was so funny, we bought it... :) why not? :) (I'll have to post a picture later of one of us wearing it :)We saw this on the corner of the street by our friend's house... we thought it was hilarious!! (we have no idea what it means, but...) VOTE for TRACTOR everybody!!

OK, so I just learned what "vote for tractor" means... it's for non-literate people... they associate put a symbol like a tractor with the political cannidates, so non-literate people can vote...
BUT it's kinda funny that they put "vote for tractor" in a literate form... hahha ok, anyway :)

Andrea, you left out the part when I grabbed a handful of coconuts and busted a double back-flip off of that tree. Then I spiked the coconuts and won the superbowl. Why didn't you write about that?

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!

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!!

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...
