Ikea as a tourist attraction

We are moving this weekend, hence this short post. We had popped out to Ikea this morning to get some paper lanterns and heavy light-blocking curtains for the sunny bedroom.  It was 10am on a Saturday and it was packed. Half the people weren’t shopping; they were posing for photos. Many strolled along the arrow’d pathway with huge cameras dangling on straps down their chests. Others were reclining in the model homes (hello 43 sq/m!) and smiling and V-signing for the photographers. It was like being at Disneyland.
