Beautifying Our Car

No we haven't painted go faster stripes down the side of our forerunner, added any fluffy dice or upgraded our hubcaps....

One of the wonderful/frustrating/interesting parts about living overseas is getting to know the culture, the rules and the faux pas. One of the rules of the road here (well it definitely was a law but no-one is really sure anymore and it's best not to take a chance) is that it is mandatory to have small warning triangles attached to the bumpers of your car. We have duly obtained said triangles and this weekend we attached them, which was a very exciting task in the eyes of our children who's help turned it in to a whole mornings task!


What amuses me most about these triangles (which are supposed to help prevent accidents) is the marketing on the packets, these triangles will:

  • Beautify your car
  • Prevent Accidents
  • Give the rear of your car a new look (whilst this is true I'm not sure it is a selling point!)
  • They are good for your car





In other news we also put up a hammock, this definitely did enhance our garden!
