Affordable solutions for better living riding

Don’t get me wrong, I love living in D.C. and in the United States in general. But every once in a while, like when I think about the health care system or the six weeks of paid vacation time, I can’t help reminiscing about life in France. There are just some things that the French do better. Apparently even minute things like Ikea ads 😉 So back in January of 2009, my metro station, Gallery Place, was taken over by Ikea. As D.C. prepared for inauguration of Barrack Obama, Ikea released a yellow and blue “change begins at home” poster style campaign. Not bad.

Now in Paris, Ikea is actually inviting metro riders to test two of their popular couches: “Ektorp” and “Kalstad”, in its Paris métro stations: St Lazare, Champs Elysées Clémenceau, Concorde and Opéra. Literally, test them out in the metro! One notch better!
