Take a ride with the IKEA train

Last sunday I wanted to check out some furniture for my home at IKEA.
Well, this one is actually really funny because... I had the exact same thought as all Dutch families of the country! Yes, this is meant to be sarcastic (^_^). It was so crazy crowded and filled with screaming kids everywhere. I even got hit by a cart driven by kids. Seriously omg... I think I will pass the idea of going to IKEA for a while.

But as I look around, I can understand why people love to go to IKEA with the family. There is food, drinks, a playground, seats, an easy maze (a.k.a. the shop's strategic walkthrough) and lots of colorful things to see. So yeah, I think IKEA can be compared as a themepark.

With every themepark, you must have your own train. So why not an IKEA train!
This excellent idea got realized in Tokyo! Because of the opening of Tokyo's first IKEA on April 10, a special decorated train will be travelling to the new store! The train has a typical IKEA interior with ofcourse only products of the Swedish brand. It's looking so nice and colorful. It even has cute curtains!

A Swedish salesman can not be excluded from the party!

But to ride this train, you have to be one of the lucky chosen ones. Only IKEA Family members got a chance to be raffled for a ride on the Party train. During the ride, you'll be treated on Swedish food and snacks. And there is also a quiz on board about Sweden. Sadly, the party train will ride for a limited time!

I hope some day IKEA will do something like this in Holland too! Then maybe, I will be interested in visiting the shop again soon... :)
