Ikea



Today was an adventure to Ikea by bus. We had to buy tickets at a kiosk and then take the bus to Ikea where we bought a bed, entertainment center and a standing closet for the bedroom where we can hang our clothes and put our close on shelves. In Poland, almost no apartment has closets. It's quite an experience taking the bus for the first time. Fortunately our bus's last stop was at the supermall M1 so we had no worry about getting off at the wrong place. Coming back was a little different and we got off a little to soon and had to walk several blocks in a light rain. It took us about two hours at Ikea and were fortunate to find two salespeople who spoke a l.ittle English. Our furniture will be delivered tomorrow so Friday night we will have a good nights sleep in our new bed. The pictures are of our delivery person in Ikea aranging delivery and the bus tickets. The tickets must be punched in a machine on the bus you ride on. If you don't have the right tickets then you can get a fine. There are random checks by a control officer. Tonight our landlord will come and give us a mailbox key and explain to Joan how to use the oven in the kitchen.
