No matter how you look at it - this is just hillarious!!!!

Ok - You know I have lots of time on my hands to be blogging so much, but I couldn't help but share this one.... Mia and I were biking home yesterday from her friend's house when we saw the funniest thing. I probably wouldn't have even noticed it if Mia hadn't pointed it out. It is strange to me that for Mia, having lived here since she was 3, this would really stand out. It makes sense though, because it is not something she has really seen in her life - like I said, it didn't even phase me at all until she pointed it out. Before I go on, I have to try to put it in perspective... Imagine if you were on the road in the U.S. and saw this:

It would probably make you stop and look and smile - just because you know that is a Double Decker bus like they have in London. You have seen it in movies and on TV. Not something you see every day in the U.S - but pretty neat. Well, image if you had never been to the U.S., but watched American films and TV, and had seen this as you go down the road:

It would probably be pretty cool (kind of like us seeing a double decker bus). Like I said, I didn't even flinch at the sight of the school bus, but for Mia it was really cool (not having really seen many of them before). Here is where it gets REALLY funny... The Bus didn't say, "School Bus" on it, but instead said, "Party bus". It drove by us twice (we were riding around a big ring around the city). When I looked closer, you could see a bunch of streamers and you could faintly here music playing and the funniest part was that you could see kids around 10-12 years old running around the bus and dancing. After I told Bryan about it, he found this on the internet: http://www.amberger-partybus.de/

So... it is an American School Bus that they rent out for Parties. The bus drives around and there is a DJ and a Bar Tender (did I mention that as long as you aren't driving here, you can drink alcohol in a car?). The bus will even drive to places (as a limousine would) for special events. They also rent it out for kids birthdays (that is what we saw). It was truly one of the funniest things to see!
