As s Swede it is always strange to see all IKEAs all over the world. When I was a kid, in the 1950ties, there was only ONE! It was in the small town of Älmhult where Ingvard Kamprad started the whole thing.

I love reading in bed. It's my nightly routine to fall asleep, also when I wake up randomly in the middle of the night. I recommend getting a kindle though over lighting and physical books. Less strain on the eyes in the dark and less disruptive if you have a partner sleeping next to you. Also, they're more comfortable to hold with one hand. Best of luck!

As you were shopping, I was shouting, go to the gardening section and look for a balcony planter/flower box! Or alternatively, get a wall mounted spice rack (fits 2-3 books perfectly, I bet). You could screw it onto the wall or the bed railing. Probably the most elegant and space efficient solution. OR, use some strong double sided tape for the rack that you purchased.

Back in 2019 the day before I left Europe my friends handed me car keys and sent me to Metz for the day (I was at Ramstein afb). So I got to take big American van to Metz to see the cathedral. I might have ended up in a pedestrian walk way with that van! Anyways as I was leaving I was like "I wonder if there is an Ikea around here?" There was!! So i got to go to the Ikea in Metz and walked around. Then I drove back to Germany and went to the Ikea In Kaiserlautern and had a Waffle from the waffle bar! It was my day of "2 countries and 2 Ikeas!" :D

Hi Jay. Just FYI I visited Toulouse recently. If you've never been or filmed any vlog about it, worth a weekend trip. Cité de l'espace is a huge nerdgasm which will take you an entire day all included save the food and drinks for 26 euros. Even a centrifugal G force simulator and imax theater and a huge planetarium

Hi Jay! This video makes me want to go to IKEA. I know you already bought the light but make sure you get bulbs that are bright enough. Some of the IKEA lights use very low wattage bulbs and therefore very dim light. I just went to the eye doctor yesterday and he advised should read with the equivalent of no less than a 60 watt bulb. Glad you got Cooper into the store.

I have always read in bed. When I was little, I had a light that hooked onto my headboard. When I started dating my now husband, he bought me an Itty Bitty Book Light that I used for years. I have used a Kindle for the past 11 years and love that too-NEVER thought I would.

Full disclosure - I've never stepped into an IKEA until this February in Paris! Too funny because the one here in Minneapolis by the Mall of America opened up 20 years ago... I didn't hate it and I was able to make my rental property doable. I was also tempted by the hotdog but it seemed too early in the journey.

I gotta say, I'm uncomfortable watching this. As a kid I was bit by a dog in a store (not a guide dog obv). I think those rules exist for a reason. Sure Cooper is a good one but it emboldens the not good ones to bring their dogs where they're not allowed. Ah well, not my circus, not my monkeys.

@heryaherya 9 ай бұрын
In my experience dodgy behaviour in dogs would be noticed or reported and the person would be asked to leave. But most dogs in countries where they are allowed into shops are well used to it and completely chill.
