IKEA = Hotel?
I’m a big fan of IKEA. Who wouldn’t be? And I’m so fortunate to have one in my city here in Nanjing. After getting to my apartment in September and realizing I had to start from scratch I quickly headed to IKEA to fill the empty cupboards and adorn my naked bed. One thing really struck me while I perused the aisles. Chinese people were acting like the displays were their homes. People sprawled out taking naps with their children, reading newspapers/magazines, sitting down eating food. That would get you kicked out of an American IKEA real fast!
I wanted to write a blog about how crazy Chinese IKEAs are but I never got any pictures of the action.
Here’s another person’s blog who took pics. Yep, I’m stealing with zeal! Enjoy!
