IKEA around the world

by knerten - last update: Oct 17, 2005

A weird hobby...

I'm not sure this classifies as a hobby, habit is probably the more correct definition. I've been a fan of IKEA ever since I got my first reclining chair as a kid in Germany at the age of 10 and it actually stayed with me for almost 20 years. I love their wooden furniture, I can't help it, and the "Ivar" shelf is my forever favourite. In recent years, as I have been travelling around the world, I have visited IKEA simply to taste their Swedish meatballs. I've done all the Norwegian ones (5), sorry no pics yet, but here's one from Nottigham, UK, and Melbourne Australia.

Fellow VTers! If you would like to contribute to this collection, please visit your local IKEA, if you have one, have some meatballs and send a photo with a culinary report. I'll be sure to post it! Thank you so much for your help.

 It is funny to find a person who is also fond of Ikeas. The truth is, we have been to Ikeas around the world too...Oslo,a few in France, a few in Belgium...couldn't remember the rest. We love their restaurant that serves good food for a cheap price!
