Qué Pasa at the car dealership

| 2 Comments

My parents surprised us Saturday with diner at a Spanish Restaurant (Qué Pasa), just around the corner from where we live. It was a great surprise and we had a fun evening with good food.

Earlier on Saturday we went to a few car dealerships. With the new job that's coming I wont be able to commute by bus. There simple is no bus or train that comes close to where I'll work. For those of you who travelled in The Netherlands using public transport that might be hard to believe, but it's true. None of the car dealers we visited had any cars older that two or three years and we are looking for something we can afford without financing. So no deal. We'll have to go out again.

It was funny to see the reaction to Sweety's noticeable belly. Car dealer: "Look at this car, it's very SAFE. I'm sure SAFETY is of great importance for you." all while staring and winking at Sweety's belly. Or "This car doesn't have a passenger airbag, that's GREAT because you can put the baby's car seat in front!" It was interesting how none of them asked WHY we were buying a car or what it would be used for. They all just assumed it had to be because of the baby :)

I guess in the Netherland's it's not against the law to put a baby in the front seat? Here in Canada, kids have to be rear-facing in the backseat until they're a year, then after that they must be in the back seat in a carseat or booster until they're 8 years!
