Hej! At IKEA in Japan

So, this time, the story here is not on science or the sort.

I just visited there, IKEA in Japan.

It was more than 20 years ago when I made business trip to Denmark.
There I had lunch, which then has just come up on my mind now.
At IKEA, yes, its origin is Sweden and there found is buffet stile food court.
Most of the menu are Swedish which somehow resembles to the food in Denmark, in my memory.

On that day, a week earlier, I visited IKEA with my wife because I was able to take a few days holiday on weekdays because I was to be transferred to one of factories run by a company by which I have long been employed. Since the factory is located in a remote area from my home, I have to be there leaving family members.

So, my wife said, “OK, while you are up here, please help me with bringing some used furniture in IKEA. IKEA would buy them.”
“May be, IKEA on weekday is somewhat comfortable for window shopping because not overwhelming and exodus-scale of furniture seekers are expected.”
(IKEA on weekend! it’s like Lemmings!)

Then, we had lunch there.

Having seen my choice of food, my wife said,
“How big your meal is! Why you take such an amount. Are you intending to build an accumulation of fat around your belly as kind of survival resource for you are in remote area?”
I answered, “No problem.”

While eating that big meal, weak and slight memory of dating my wife before I married her came on my mind. (After the marriage, typical and global standard reality of wife-husband quickly ruled over.)

That eye catch picture is the one taken where I was moved in presently. While working hard in the new place, I am now seeking another opportunity for my career so that I can return. Nevertheless, it is quite hard to seek career change in my age in Japan though.
