Emigration fair

Last Saturday it was time for us to go to the Emigration Fair in Houten (the Netherlands). We were very enthousiastic to go and hoped to get some more information with regard to starting a business in Spain. Because we had to bring Anna to Ellen's dad we had to leave at seven o'clock in the morning!! Due to the fact that there were few cars on the road at time we arrived fifteen minutes too early. Not a problem, because we could wait in the hallway.

After fifteen minutes we went into the first section of the fair. Unfortunately, the expected Spanish section was no bigger than four stands and the companies there were all specialised in houses in the Costa Blanca. That did not help us at all!! So we decided to discover the rest of the fair. We noticed a few companies which we hoped could have a look at our business plan and give us more tips and feedback. However, the people who worked for the companies did not give us the impression they had time to have a look at our business plan. We did get some nice tips and we bought a few books and magazines, but that was it. Even though the fair did not bring us what we expected we did enjoy the day and the fact that we were actually doing things and talking to people about our plans. It gave us an impulse to keep developing our plan and researching the options.
