Ryan Visits Ikea.

It seemed like sun never stops shining 

on everyones favorite Scandinavian 

housewares retailer. My grayest day 

was broken by my 2 hour visit to the

Shanghai Ikea. Although prices at the

store were comparable to those of the

Ikea in Canton, those price are decidedly

expensive to the average Chinese citizen.

There is one exception to this statement:

The Food.

 

You can get an ice cream cone for 1RMB.

A foot long hot dog with unlimited free 

refills on fountain drinks (pepsi products)

was 5RMB. My time spent going to the Ikea,

walking around the Ikea and returning home

from the Ikea were the most staggeringly crowded, 

boundary testing, personal bubble crushing hours 

of my life.

and I blame it on the free refills.
