Party at IKEA

Going to IKEA was a monumental event for us that took two attempts on two different days to find. First day consisted of us driving around in city traffic, getting lost, and missing the direct streets to get there. We circled for an hour before heading back home. The second day we caught the right exit ramp off the freeway and finally landed on the IKEA planet.

Touring IKEA is something you'll definitely NOT find in any Istanbul tour book, but when you're here for almost 2 months, every day can't be a party day, right?

Actually, it can.

Because on this particular day at IKEA, there was a huge summer blow-out! Everything was on sale! And to celebrate the event, they hired a killer DJ who spun tracks that kept the customers grooving through the showrooms. It was as if I were in a disco club at Ibeza, except I've never been to Ibeza and I was looking at displays of a kitchen.

Needless to say, it was a helluva party...??
