IKEA

You will notice Aunt Pat that when you go into IKEA eventually you will not be able pronounce anything, that is because all the names of things are in Swedish. And what is even more funny, is a chair will be a swedish word that means "Sausage" or "Tile." But of course to us Americans it's so much more cool seeing a Swedish word and not knowing what it means, haha. Anyways, I thought since in the excitement of me being in Sweden, here is the history of IKEA and it's REALLY interesting!!!

then after you read that click on full story at the top...

Everything there in IKEA is exactly how the homes look here in Sweden, it's insane!

AND... everybody go to the grocery store section and there is a yellow candy bar, in yellow wrapping that says KEX... it is to DIE for. Kex Choulatte.... or something, just WOW. You will die when you eat it.
