Tour Idea

A-L: What's new, temporary Scandi roommate?

Åsa: I have a brilliant business idea. I'm going to give tours of IKEA. Downstairs neighbor Michael and the Seahorse Whisperer have never been there.

Å-L: You're kidding.

Åsa: The Seahorse Whisperer spends all her time in windowless biology labs, and Michael is devoted to Craigslist. But I imagine there are others out there. And what better way to introduce people to the magic of IKEA, than having a Swede tour them around?

Kitty: Having a Finn tour them around?

Åsa: I would explain ALL the Swedish words, and their relevance and historical and cultural significance.

Å-L: My sister caught chicken pox (in the play area) at the IKEA outside Frankfurt in 1979. Could you incorporate that into your presentation?

Åsa: That could possibly be an anecdote played on the headsets on the ride over to IKEA, but it's not particularly relevant.

Kitty: Or interesting.

Åsa: And I'm not sure the higher-ups at IKEA would endorse a tour that highlights the petri dish-like nature of the play area. But you digress. The tour would end with a fabulous meal at the IKEA cafeteria, and everyone would get a pack of tea lights.
