So today we went to IKEA…what an adventure that was. We knew there was an IKEA, we just didn’t know where. So what do we do? Google it. Of course we had no idea where we were or the metro lines were in relation to it. After a serious map reading session, we found it and trekked across the city. We then had to tackle the store…in Hungarian. But first, we had to eat… 250 forint for a hot dog and drink (amazing). Then we tackled the store. I bought some rather inane stuff, trashcan, pillow, push pins…etc. Then we had to wait in line for like an hour, so after that we decided we needed some more hot dogs.
3 hotdogs, 2 soda, 1 ice cream = 550 forint
Stuff for my room = 3, 800 forint
Spending 4 hours in the Budapest IKEA, priceless.
Hungarian phrase of the day:
Rossz viccs! "bad joke"
