Little India
Rehearsal was canceled, so the gals and I made a trip to Little India. The sun was out and it was very hot & humid - making Little India feel a lot like the real India (lol).
First, I had to pose with this plastic "mascot" at the train station
After reaching our stop, we step out of the subway to find lots of stalls selling fresh vegetables and fruit
Check out these long a** green beans!! My bunny would be in heaven (and a kick to watch eating these)
There were also many stalls selling the most beautiful smelling flowers - but don't smell them! They are for prayer only (I got yelled at - guess I sniffed all the smell out...)
VERY colorful building - like what you would find in Jamaica
People hanging their laundry out to dry (don't know how well that worked - it was so humid)
I'll buy it!
There was literally one of these stores on EVERY corner - no joke!
More French/Cajun houses. Pretty!
I believe this is the Temple of 1000 lights
This huge Buddha is studded with lights. It probably looks great at night...
Santa in front of the Mustafa Mall (where we went to escape the heat). His hat a Christmas tree.
Oh, by the way, Christmas decorations are still up and Christmas music is still played in the malls..
Hot Chips! -Just funny sounding to me. If you notice, it's a vegetarian restaurant. In fact, most restaurants in Little India are vegetarian friendly, which is great because it's easier for me to eat. In Chinatown, vegetarian meant no beef (but all the other meats)
=p
Adornment on the mirror at the restaurant we ate at (for goodness sake, don't smell the prayer flowers!! Oh - they're only plastic...)
OMG - the best tasting (and spicy) Indian food! Heaven!! I ate so fast, there was only time to take a picture of my finished metal tray.
After lunch, we walked to a "wet" market - where they have fresh flowers, tofu, and a lot of dead animals. It was a bit much for me, but I did get a pic of this weird, rather large fruit behind a stall.
On the subway ride home, I noticed our reflection in the opposite window. We were all laughing and pointing and making faces at our distorted faces. The poor people across from us....
