Allison and I decided that it was about time we visited one of our favorite stores in the world here in Greece. IKEA is a great place to buy furniture, eat hot dogs, and generally goof around, all for under 20 bucks.
This trip to IKEA was a little more special than any trip before. And it's not because of this ironic lampshade with... lampshades on it.
The reason this trip was so special was because my friend Alex decided to show us around the Greece IKEA. See my friend Alex is from Sweden and he knows his IKEA.
Alex spent the whole day teaching us how to properly pronounce the names of the different products. Did you know the "D'aim" chocolate cake/bar is actually pronounced "dime"?
We also got to see the differences between North American and European IKEAs. Here in Europe the books on the shelves are all in Swedish. Can you guess what "JAG" means?
Alex taught us about the famous Swedish Christmas goat who delivers cans of beans to all the local children and then eats the cans or something like that.
We also got to try a Swedish delicacy called meatballs and fries. Man this European culture is just crazy.
