I went to the IKEA in Sweden. It's like the one back home, but slightly bigger and the prices looked cheaper (almost half). I could be wrong about the prices though.
Everyone pronounces it 'eekea' here.
I had swedish meatballs in their cafeteria. There were a bunch of other tourists from France there who where having difficulty speaking to the cafeteria people.
This made me realize that with English as my native language, I have an advantage over many Europeans here. This is because the international language is English. If you go to a hostel: Everyone speaks English to each other(unless the people speaking all know their own home tongue). Sometimes I find myself translating peoples English: or basically just repeating it with my Canadian accent which is clearer than a rough European one.
It's a bit ironic I think because France, Germany and Spain are so much closer to Scandinavia, but my English is better understood and accepted than their languages.
