2nd day in Sweden - Going Downtown and IKEA - Part 2

Ok, I have to admit I am a little slow in uploading the pictures, but this half of the semester has been pretty hectic so I will try to upload bit by bit whenever possible. Anyway, the previous post "2nd day in Sweden - Going Downtown and IKEA - Part 1" has some new pictures added near the end of the post.

So anyway, after sight-seeing around downtown, we got our first taste of Swedish meal at a little alley restaurant called Von Duvfa- set us back 85 Kr (S$17) but the food was pretty good and well worth it imo. I am not sure if this is the European style of eating, but a meal almost always consists of free-flow salad, a wide selection of bread with butter/cookies (not necessarily free-flow), a main course (chicken/fish/meat) and coffee/tea/drink. And the ladies will be delighted to hear that there is a wide selection of salads and breads here (for those who want to diet).

Well, And we saw another smaller cathedral in Linköping as well, although I am not sure what is its exact name and history.

And below is the main Train Station in Linköping - Linköping Central Station













And I saw something pretty interesting inside...

You have to pay $1 to use the toilet!!! So stop complaining about the $0.10 the poor toilet auntie charges for certain toilets! Btw, most public toilets in Sweden charge a fee for usage and this ranges from 3-5Kr.

And finally, our destination for the day...

We have reached IKEA! Finally, the chance to see the furniture giant in its hometown. We did not take any pictures inside because it looks just like the IKEA in Singapore. When you are inside, you won't be able to tell the difference, except perhaps for the Swedish signs here. It was a little disappointing as I was expecting IKEA in its homeland to look well, different, but it is also good to know that they maintain their standards throughout the world. =)

That more or less concludes our second day!
