(Except when i have to buy the crap at Ace or HomeCenter.) but on the other hand, sometimes it's satisfying to have that western world shopping experience, even if it is just ikea. i know what you mean, karin. i’m a lover and supporter of locally-made goods, and truth to tell, tend to rely on that more when i’m shopping locally.

In such a small country, there is no need for this culture-rotting chain store to crop up in every suburb from Eilat to the Lebanese border. I don't see this as a victory at all. Slowly, slowly Israel's small nagariot will be replaced by Big Box shops and everyone and his brother will have the same lousy, cheap low quality crap that IKEA produces to make a middle class person feel as though they've arrived. Mind you, I do enjoy going to IKEA myself once and a while for cheap basics. I think IKEA needs more regulation in Israel.

I went to the one in Or Yehuda and it was tiny and crappy. Any idea if the Teva Eden Market in Rishon is as nice as the one in Netanya? I went to the one in Or Yehuda and it was tiny and crappy.
