OMG, Ikea. So many times where I nearly passed out. Moving interstate, I needed to go there quite a bit for this and that. I made this after a particularly bad trip:



...however, since then I've learnt to study the website's products in advance and make a list of what I need, park at and go in the exit, peruse the locations computer, study the maps, and take all the shortcuts. No need usually to go to the labyrinthine second story where the entrance is :D

Same principle applies for me with shopping centres really. Ugh ugh ugh. They are really exhausting.

Boromir speaks the truth.

There's a pick-up point for Ikea near me apparently. So I could make an order online, pay over the phone, and have all of it delivered there. Definitely trying that next time I need Ikea crap.

Our local shopping centre is open air, which I like. However, the shops are spread over about a kilometre because it's all one giant lane of doom with little side lanes and some sections have levels and if I didn't grow up here I'd probably never find what I was looking for. You can spot the new people because they look confused and distressed. There's an information desk, but good luck finding that.

Sounds good re Ikea, if they don't charge out the wazoo for it. I've got this paper catalogue here from them which has a $40 "picking fee" for EACH item of furniture.

Giant lane of doom... heh. Spending hours looking for what you need on levels and levels reminds me of visiting Singapore, where I get the feeling the locals just know from years and years of living in the one city state exactly where to go for what. The city is one giant interconnected aircon shopping centre labyrinth. I had a housemate who emigrated from there, said it was so boring, people just shopped or went to movies to have fun.

But yeah, open air at least cuts down on that echoey fluorescent descents-of-hell experience.

$40 for every item? D: Jesus.
It says shipping from $99. From $99 to what?

I have to say if the rest of Singapore is anything like the International airport I had my flights connected through, then I probably wouldn't mind it. There's an indoor butterfly garden and a koi pond and little nap areas. They do a good indoor space.
