i am in melbourne about to be professionally developed. i had to fill out a form about why i am here. luckily they had the option of "i wanted to get away and experience new things". ie shopping at IKEA.

IKEA was both better and worse than i imagined. because of course i'd never been. i will have real difficulities getting my suitcase packed with all the ribba photoframes i bought. my companion thought they could fit a whole table in their suitcase. luckily we were such novices we didn't understand the writing down the numbers for aisle etc... so we couldn't find it.

right now i'm about to be called for breakfast. this place has twenty four hour cakes. so why would i ever need cereal i wonder? oh well, this is the price of being professional.
