Norwegians queue for chance to stay at Ikea

Now Ikea is going one step further and opening the Ikea Hostel, where customers can stay overnight if they haven't finished their shopping.
Later this month Ikea in Norway will let shoppers kip down in one of its two Oslo warehouses, an operation that will last a week. Frode Ullebust, a company spokesman, said: "It will be like an alternative hostel. There will be the regular dormitory with lots of beds stacked up together.
“We will also have a bridal suite, with a round bed and a hanging chandelier, and the luxury suite, where customers can enjoy breakfast in bed," he said. Family rooms will also be available for parents and children.


Como será uma lua-de-mel a comprar mobilia para a casa?

E não é que isto é um sucesso?

"Norwegians see a trip to Ikea as the ultimate tourist attraction. Mr Ullebust said: "Around 900,000 visitors come to visit Ikea during the summer holidays. It's more than what one of the biggest attractions in Norway, the Holmenkollen ski jump, gets in one year."

Mas, não se deixe dormir até tarde porque,

"Overnight stayers can check in to their temporary abodes from 10pm, an hour before closing time, but will have to be quick in the morning. "The shop opens at 10am so if they are lazy, people might get woken up by shoppers testing out their mattresses," said Mr Ullebust. "


E se é apreciador da noite,

"And to top it all off, Ikea fans can join a very private tour of the building. "Ikea never sleeps. They can go on a tour of the warehouse. They will enjoy Ikea by night," said the spokesman. In addition, four employees will be on hand to look after the Ikea lodgers. "

Isto é que é turismo à séria...

Água benta

De acordo com o Guardian, no aeroporto de Lourdes, França, a alfandega tentou estragar o negócio da água benta.

"Inspectors at Tarbes-Lourdes airport in France stopped passengers taking holy water on the Vatican's new pilgrim flights, saying it was a security threat like any other liquid."

"Passenger Paola Saluzzi told Corriere della Sera he was stopped from taking eight bottles "in the shape of the little Madonna" on board. "

O que vale é que a veia empresarial do Vaticano não se deixa abalar e,

"But the Vatican had foreseen such an eventuality and put a bottle of holy water on each seat, he said. The Vatican's 737 aims to serve 150,000 pilgrims a year to places including Mount Sinai in Egypt."

Máquinas Inteligentes

Nova escova de dentes que vai ser lançada no mercado lá para o Natal,

'satnav' toothbrush £140

A escova que faz tudo menos pagar as dívidas.

It has built-in "satnav"-style technology, a timer, flashing red lights, a wireless LCD display and special sensors.

As you clean your teeth, Oral-B's Triumph SmartGuide toothbrush transmits its exact location to a base unit.

The unit then shows you on an LCD screen which area of your mouth has been cleaned and a clock tells you how long you have left to brush.

It can be set to different modes - sensitive teeth, gum massage or polishing - and changes its directions accordingly.

Sensors in the head will also pick up how much pressure you put on the brush and a red light will start to flash if you are brushing too hard.

Informação Importante

Avisam-se os candidatos a reencarnação que já existem formulários de candidatura para o efeito.
Contactar governo Chinês.

De acordo com artigo da Newsweek:

"In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation.

By barring any Buddhist monk living outside China from seeking reincarnation, the law effectively gives Chinese authorities the power to choose the next Dalai Lama, whose soul, by tradition, is reborn as a new human to continue the work of relieving suffering."

Palpita-me que esta gestão não vai ser fácil...
