A few pictures....

I know I am a complete slacker on the pictures...but if you were working with a "Tech-Com" (computer brand) from 1995- you may not be very keen on uploading photos! I had to actually request a computer with a CD drive. Hilarious. I also am not sure why the size of the pictures are different sometimes....and that question would for sure get lost in translation if I tried to ask.

This is a picture of the streets during minimal traffic. Most of the time I could reach out and touch another car. The yellow things are the rickshaws that I refer to in my blogs- those are what Ang and I travel in the most often. For a good laugh...please picture Ang and I in the rickshaw with both of our backpacks..it is a sight to see.



A street corner in a small town- this is often the view from our bus window.



"m not sure I can even explain this photo--but this is Ang taking a picture from her bus window into the rear view mirror of the drivers seat of a bus. And yes...that is a monkey which at a stop was hanging on the mirror. I was spazzing out that the monkey was going to come inside- I'm sure muttering something about rabies...while Ang snapped photos.
On a normal day Ang and I are stopped about 5 times a day to get our picture taken. It is strange enough for us in the first place- but generally once you say yes, you then have a group of people around you snapping photos (paparazzi style).  Just today I was talking to someone on the street and a guy came up and put his camera 1 foot from my face and snapped a photo. 

This is a picture while one of us is being photographed. It can be families that stop us- single people or kids....often after they then ask us to take a photo of them and request to see it in our camera. At some point, we generally have to stop having people taking photos so we can move on. It is honestly a hilarious phenomenon. I always wanted to be famous...but.....


Beautiful Munnar! One of my top favorite places in India so far!

Streets of India.

This is me (light blue shirt) trying to buy a bottle of wine. First, women don't buy alcohol. Second, in certain places nobody (men or women) admit to drinking. So....apparently, if you buy alcohol behind a screen- then nobody sees you?
Here is another example of a photo shoot.....
