    Ikea

    Two weeks ago, me and hubby went to IKEA and we ordered a white corner sofa and three high bookshelves; frames and curtains; kitchen utensils and decorative stuffs.
    I really enjoyed going there, they have a lot of very nice home complements.

    I wonder if there is any IKEA like home complements in Phil? I have not seen any since the last time I went back home. (6 yrs ago)

    It might be a good idea also to copy their style and make affordable quality furnitures and home deco in Phil.

    This is only an idea of business to do in Phil.

    Andy, for me going to IKEA is the same as shopping around...After 5 hrs spent there, my husband actually pleaded me to go home as he can't stand it anymore... He doesn't like shopping around, so most of the time he just let me shopping while he go to play tennis.

    I don't understand why men doesn't like shopping...It is very relaxing to spend some hard earned money

    He confessed that he regretted it. He only joined a couple of nazi meeting as for what I read...He didn't take any part in killing jews.
    It was a mistake that he regret that he have done when he was young.

    the only regets they have, was that they lost the war...

    my mom is younger than Kamprad, yet she was threated by like him, but still refused to join the nazi youth

    its not just jews who died in WW2, more than 56 million died, and 6 million were jews, some people only think jews were killed in WW2, don't forget that more than 50 milllion who were not.. and the 100,000s of filipinos who were killed.

    and Sweden remained neutral, with a loss of 2,000 lifes by the end of the war, probably from trying to put his furniture together

    This post was not meant to dig out what had happened to the last WW2. No one has ever forgotten the cruelty that has been inflicted to people during that time, the violence and total destruction will remain a shame to all humanity.
    They let one man to start a war. Who is to blame? The crazy xenophobe or every men that was in power that time? The fact that they let him do it everyone was to blame.

    IKEA has also a store in Israel...I wonder what you think about it?

    Hi Al.....
    What bugs me is.......... Why would anyone, in his/her right frame of mind, go to IKEA in the first place......
    There must be some kind of medication for this condition....
