Whohoo we went shopping. I am so impressed with IKEA, the parking lot is planned correctly, the store is set up so one doesn’t get wigged out with all the ‘stuff’ for sale (although I was on the edge), they have a ‘comfort food’ cafeteria serving cheaper-than-you-can-make-it meals, and quick check-out even with the mobs of people. There is even a child daycare (like a Chuck-e-Cheese, hehe) or let ‘em run free, it’s like a indoor house park.
We bought a tall cd bookshelf, a tall bookshelf, a tall wooden cabinet for our office stuff, a wooden office table top, a floor lamp, and light fixtures for the foyer, bathroom, and kitchen. All for less than 300 €. Unbelieveable.
And then there are things here in German that are ridiculously expensive. For example: Cooking tongs=8 € (~$9), a meat themometer 8 €, where is a Target or Walmart when you need just the bare minimum for a reasonable price.
So we are finally getting rid of the boxes in our apartment, lighting up the dark corners, and cleaning off the diningtable. We are so happy with our home:D
