RE: King's Day in the Netherlands, flea markets everywhere. Today you can buy almost everything on the streets.
Well, you can be sure Sam will love to drive when he turns 18 if he loves that much the small car you bought for him.
This kind of initiatives I saw in Germany and Norway also.
In Germany they were called flohmarkt and almost every mid size town or city had at least once a year this kind of markets.
In Norway I remember participating at such an event organized by a school where children sold cookies made by them or old toys and clothes. If I remember correctly the money were collected to help some poor children.
Great initiative! Hope Sam will enjoy all of his new toys as you enjoy his visit.
In France, where we live part of the year they organize flea markets all summer in different villages (they call it a brocante). So I think it is something a lot of countries organize in Europe. In the US you have the garage sales so they do it also.
Sam enjoys his new toys very much, he sat on his car all afternoon and also build a tower with my husband with the plastic blocks.
