Mandatory Post-Relocation IKEA trip

This was actually not the first trip to IKEA in Shanghai. Adam had ventured there before, hence his confident pose outside the store this time. Between shipping some of our own stuff from Vancouver and the furniture in our partially-furnished apartment, we are only one item away from completeness. We did the unthinkable and went to IKEA on a Saturday afternoon. Yes, it was packed. Yes, there are Swedish meatballs (and also Chinese food too). No, we did not buy anything. There's not much to say about IKEA in Shanghai, except that the restaurant is HUGE (in proportion to the rest of the store). I went back another day in the afternoon and noticed that it is a popular hangout for young and old.

Notice the guy in the picture, behind Adam. He's handing out furniture catalogs for another store - pretty clever.
