IKEA!

Since I last wrote, a lot has happened, enough that I think that two blog posts are justified. Anyways, on monday, Kyle and I went out to lunch with our new friend Chelsea. We went to a little cafe just south of the city center. We all got some croque. Chelsea and I got the croque monsieur and Kyle got the madame. For those of you that know enough French to think that seems backwards, the croque monsieur is just a open faced ham and cheese sandwich. The madame is that same thing with a sunny side up egg on top. They were absolutely delicious.

After that, Kyle and I went to the laundry mat. Oh my goodness, doing laundry is expensive here! A washing machine that held 8 kg of clothing was 4 euros. Drying was a little cheaper at 2 euros for 22 minutes. We did have a casualty though. One of Kyle's Underarmour socks was melted to a crisp (no joke: it really was crispy).

Tuesday, Kyle and I met up with Chelsea again, this time to go to IKEA. Yep, I have an Ikea in my town. It is even more amazing than I imagined it would be. The entire 1st floor (that happens to be the first floor up, not the ground floor) is set up like a showroom while the base floor is actual individual articles to buy. Kyle and I ended up getting a rug, a trashcan, a dish towel and another blanket.  Getting out of the center of town to the Ikea was pretty fun too. It was our first time on one of the paid bus lines. It was only a euro for a 1 trip ticket. Not too bad!

And that's that.
