When we moved to the Netherlands 3-1/2 years ago one of the first things we needed to do was buy a mattress and some bar stools since we decided to camp out in our rental house while we waited for our household goods to arrive. It took us 5 hours to use public transportation to get there, order the mattress and schedule delivery and buy the bar stools and then return with the bar stools on public transportation.....argh!...and the locals live this way.
Calgary is very much North America so we drove to Ikea, bought a mattress and bar stools so we can again camp out in our new rental house while we wait for our household goods to arrive. This time we could get the mattress all rolled up into the car with the bar stools and drive it home so no delivery charges....yeah! It took just over an hour to complete the task. What a difference being in North America makes.
