ADVENTURES IN IKEA

First off, we got an apartment, pics coming tomorrow when we take possession. 

But with the new apartment comes new house stuff since we sold virtually everything and only moved to Singapore with seven boxes, we need new goods for our new apartment and what better place is there for basics than IKEA.

Yes Singapore has an Ikea, two in fact and if you say "eye-kee-yah" they don't know what you are saying as everyone calls it "ick-eee-yah". We were excited to see what a Singapore version of a Swedish housewares shop had to offer, unfortunately nothing new.

A few different colors and styles but really Ikea is the same the world over, the big difference here is that the $1 Hot Dogs are made of chicken rather than "mystery meat" and you can put chili sauce on them as well as ketchup & mustard, otherwise it's Malm, Billy and Kulla for everybody! We got our basics towels, cups, sheets, pillows etc. and plan to go back for a few small furniture pieces but I was hoping for some more unique pieces. I guess we truly live in a global society.
