I finally managed to get into the inside of IKEA today and got to look around the store. Boy, was Dan right about it being one of the best places to get furniture. I’ve never seen anything like it before. The actual store is so huge that I was afraid that I would get lost, but surprisingly, it was quite easy to get around with maps and signs placed at strategic places. 
Wow, I had forgotten how much fun it is to shop for furniture. Michelle and I walked around the place without realising how much time we spent in the store. We arrived at three and didn’t get out until it was eight! I loved how IKEA allowed its customers to test out their products in the store and I felt that I could have spent more time there if we didn’t have to go and meet Dan for a movie. The pieces of furniture in the store were a great place to rest when we got tired! Michelle and I even stopped at the cafeteria to have tea, and she made me try Swedish meatballs even though I don’t usually eat meat. They were so delicious, no wonder the cafeteria was so full of people!
-those yummy meatballs!
-so many people!
-the queue reminds me of conveyor belt sushi – something Michelle introduced me to recently!
Anyway, the furniture itself is just great. I can get virtually anything that I want for my new apartment, from tables to beds and even new kitchen cabinets! I can even customise my wardrobes and choose from the different styles that they have. And look at the sheer size of the warehouse where you can pick up your own furniture, without having salespeople harassing you! I definitely cannot wait to go back there for a closer look. I think I want to customise my wardrobe and I definitely want to get a new kitchen as well. Maybe a sofa and cushions to go with it. I just hope everything fits my budget especially when there are those Ferragamo shoes I want so badly!
-the huge warehouse!
ikea is good for a while , it gets boring after sometime,and leaves little room for individuality and creativity
