Field Trip

Yesterday was a field trip to the big city! Unlike the restaurants here, the trains and stations are immaculate. Our first stop was Ikea! It was packed. I've never seen so many people in a store before. The funny thing is the majority of the people who go to Ikea are not shopping for anything. Ikea is their hangout spot. Practically every sofa, chair and bed has someone on it. Some are just sitting, others chatting with friends, others are taking a nap. I saw two people sitting at a table eating, like they were at home.

After Ikea, we stop at an American grocery store. They've got cheese, cold cuts, cereal, chocolates, etc. Everything was super expensive - can you see how much a container of Ocean Spray Ruby Red costs? Almost $12!!

Next stop, Tom's new apartment! He just moved in a month ago! Bryan cooked us a delicious dinner of pasta with crabs and garlic bread, and we spent the evening sharing stories and showing the local friends some pictures from Mark's wedding. Guess who we got to meet? Zoe, Peter's fiancee! She's a very cool girl. =)
