The fair is in town and I took some pictures, that I still need to sort out. But also as a first since a long time I actually went into some attractions rather than just looking at other people having fun. For the bumper cars I took some time looking how people paid for the ride, expecting that nowadays you would tap your phone on the car, or type in some code. But no, it is still exactly as it was when I was a kid: you buy a plastic coin that you insert in the car.

Then I went into one of these high-g-force rides and am still feeling it...

The problem with being alone is that all these rides are made for two people. So to not take up someone's space by being alone in a car, I first check that it isn't a busy time and some seats are empty anyway.

Did some more rides today on the last day of the fair and these were more doable. Also interesting to see that on such a last day the operators of the rides are already dismantling them while people are still riding on it. And that some of the fair people chill out on the kids rides on such a last day.
