ICK-EEE-AH (correct pronunciation)

Sitting down to our first meal in Stockholm, perusing over 'Top 50 Things to Do In Sweden,' Julia and I were outraged not to see IKEA get a mention. As ardent IKEA fans and regular patrons, we genuinely expected it to be vying for, at the very least, a top 3 spot. Hence our disgust at its omission from the slanderous aforementioned list. Suffice to say, it is general knowledge that Sweden is the birthplace of IKEA; really an unoffical Swedish embassy, a clandestine blue and yellow marketing behemoth; spreading their culture, food and ingenuity the world over. A much more pervasive marketing tool when compared to Australia's attempts of luring tourists with profanities.

Luckily our waitress shared our distress at IKEAs omission from the list and after a short consultation and detailed directions written on a serviette, we headed off to the suburbs of Stockholm. Despite our venture into the tourist unknown, we arrived unscathed at the doorsteps. With the ominous blue and yellow frontage, scent of ingenuity and lure of $1 hotdogs we barely managed to contain our excitement as evidenced below! 

OH WHAT A FEELING...IKEA!

PUT YOUR HANDS UP IF YOU LOVE IKEA!

Australian IKEA's definitely don't have customer saunas.

1,2,3,4 and 5 levels of utter joy.

We love what they've done with the place.

So much outrageous YUM.

At 58 cents, logic tells me I actually made money.
