Damn you Ikea
I went travelling the other day. To Rhodes, in Western Sydney. Nothing too exotic, although it felt like a long way, mostly thanks to Sydney’s incredibly craptacular public transport system and my lack of a car.
Anyway, I wasn’t going to Rhodes to relax – I was going to experience the very grown-up nightmare that is the Ikea super/mega/gigantor store.
As someone who travels a lot, I’ve always tried to avoid accumulating too much “stuff”. Like George Clooney’s character says in Up In The Air, the more stuff you own, the more chance there is that that stuff will weigh you down in one spot. You’re much more likely to head off overseas for a year if you don’t have to worry about putting a house-load of crap in storage, or trying to sell it...
