legoland

Arvind helped me go through the weekly trade paper today to look for potential cars. It’s doubly tough car shopping here because I don’t recognize a lot of the car models or even makes. Also, people tend to keep cars a lot longer here (and take care of them better to keep them running longer), so cars I wouldn’t even look at in the States are actually fairly good here.

I have a couple of car-viewings lined up for tomorrow, but unfortunately the paper covers a pretty wide range of locations so some tempting ones are too far away to be worthwhile.
We came back from a shopping outing into town expecting a quiet evening, but then Arvind got a call from friends and we ended up having a bunch of people over for dinner. Arvind’s friends brought a delicious goat curry, and we tossed some more veggies and fish in the laksa we were making so it would serve more people.

I had a great time playing with the 3-year-old daughter of two of the guests – she was pretty shy at first, but after half an hour or so we were knee-deep in Lego creations and she had to be literally pried away when they all left three hours later.
