... we found a store called "Courts Megastore." It was a sort of SEARS like store, with 3 levels containing everything from furniture and matresses to plates and televisions. They had these flat but diagonal escalators called "travellators" which were really hard to ride because of how you have to stand on them. We've noticed that all of the escalators here run a lot faster than the ones in the states. I'm guessing it's because the legal system in the states would cause more people to sue when they fell off of the fast moving escalator. We were on our way to IKEA but this place seemed more interesting and I'm glad we went. We got some much-needed stuff for our barren apartment - bright pillows for the couch, a fuzzy plant, a hamper, some trash cans, and a mattress pad that has little "no" symbols with dustmites in them printed on it. (Down with dustmites!) There is apparently a store called "Giant" across the way which seems to be a Walmart-esque store with groceries and everything else you can imagine. I think we'll check that out in a day or so. We need art for the walls to make this place less echo-y.
Pillows in the living room! It's not much, but it means a lot to me. You know, the little things... (Click picture for better image)
My fuzzy plant. It's real, but I don't know what it is. It's about 2 feet tall.
Close up on the fuzzy plant. The whole thing, from the stems to the leaves, is covered in soft fine hair.

Hey! I thought you said you bought "bright" pillows for the couch! I thought you meant something like bright red - not black! LOL I'm sure you'll make the place look great!

Sorry! I guess I can't trust my computer's color display. My PC makes the pillows all look black, rather than being blue and green. I guess my next computer will be a MAC!
I like the close-ups of the plants. Very post-modern with your furniture style.
