Pronounced E-kay-ah in Asia, the local IKEA is definitely one place you don’t want to visit on the weekends. Don’t get me wrong, IKEA is every bit as fabulous as it is anywhere else around the world, but in Hong Kong it’s not the low prices, but the crowds of people that are killer. Me, I’m very bad in crowds…so going to IKEA on a Saturday afternoon is very difficult. However, I breathe deeply, smile and try to “Keep Calm and Carry On” through the massive amount of people. Although the crowds can get a bit overwhelming, IKEA is definitely a fun place to browse for household items and to be honest, it ended up being a great place for people watching…
This is exactly how I feel about Ikea buddy!
And finally…the crowds…
This is just going through one of the small aisles! Good times!
Happy Tuesday!
Definitely looks crowded, enjoy your shopping!
I too find people-watching so entertaining. You captured some great pictures.

I used to live in Singapore and that is what people there called it too. I knew a Swede who told me that it used to get her goat when people pronounced Ikea the way that we do. She told me the right way to say it was “E-kay-ya” just like the way the Hong Kong people pronounced it! I generally avoid Ikea because once you go in, you have to go through the whole shop to come out.
