Today we were able to take a tour of IKEA here in Tianjin. I have been to an IKEA once before in America and surprisingly the IKEA here was pretty similar though I did notice a few minor differences. One thing that noticed was that the IKEA in Tianjin tries to sell things for smaller living spaces since the people in China do not have a lot of room in their homes. Another thing that I noticed was that some of the items were different to mix in better with the Chinese culture. After we were done walking through store we were able to eat at the cafeteria in IKEA and I don't quite remember but I don't think the IKEA in America had a cafeteria inside. Overall, I thought it was pretty cool to see some of the differences between the store here and the store in America, and I am getting sad that our time here is almost up.
