I've always been a big fan of IKEA. Wherever I live, be it China, Thailand, US, Europe, IKEA is always the place I go to get my house in order. Many thanks to this post for the pointers. I already know most of them thanks to my big-fan-ness of IKEA.

I also think that the other tip is to make sure to check out the IKEA restaurant -- they have everything for everyone!

I could spend my entire day at IKEA. Let me show you how.

Let's start with a morning breakfast there, then go walk around the second floor for some serious "choosing" (since you only get to choose and write down the number of what you want on a piece of paper while roaming around the second furniture-oriented floor), then stop after the furniture section for lunch, chitchatting with fellow IKEAers who are also hanging out there.

Then, let's head to the first floor for more shopping (of course, hit the loo along the way), go get your stuff from the aisles and pay at check out.

The final stop is the take-home packaged food section where some of the good quality Scandinavian stuff are there for you to choose. I always go for the salmon and mulled wine. Oh, finally, upon walking toward parking, you can pick up an ice-cream or a hot dog too!
