Finding furniture for my first home in Calgary (Ⅱ)

According to my last blog, many people should basically know what I am doing during these few days: finding furniture. I felt really hard and difficult to find second hand furniture which I loved on time. Even though sometimes second hand furniture is old, it still holds an intense competition between people like us. So, as I mentioned before, we’ll try to buy some cheap and new furniture by ourselves this time. The best place which is recommended by most of my friends is IKEA. I’d love to go there even though it is far away from our dorms because I had been the same company before which holds in China, it is a really nice choice and most of the furniture there are cheap and beautiful. I went there on Saturday with my friend Megan by taking c-train and bus. It took us a long time to find the right location. When we arrived IKEA, we spent almost five hours to find the furniture, to consider which is best for us to buy and to carry them by ourselves downstairs. At last, we were so glad to buy a pretty glass table with four chairs by just spent 99 dollars, a white coffee table which cost 29 dollars only, two big desks which hold the lowest price in Calgary and some other staffs. We spent no more than 500 dollars to buy all the furniture for our apartment, that travel is really a big harvest for us!
