			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/la-fi-china-ikea25-2009aug25,0,5131176.story?page=1" target="_blank">this LA Times article</a> about an IKEA (or Yi Jia) in Beijing that&#8217;s become popular as a getaway for resting, eating, and general relaxation:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Bai mapped out a five-hour outing. First, they had hot dogs and soft ice cream cones at noon. Then they enjoyed a long rest lounging on the beds. Bai kicked off her sandals and sprawled out on a Tromso bunk bed. The 36-year-old homemaker made herself comfortable and even answered passing shoppers&#8217; questions about the quality of the mattress.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s soft and a great buy at this price,&#8221; she told a young woman, pointing to a dangling price tag.</p>
<p></em><em>After that, Bai and her family took group pictures. By 5 p.m., it was time for another meal, so they headed to the cafeteria and ate braised mushrooms with rice.</em></p>
<p><em> Many others arrive with the same intentions, sometimes bringing a book to read on a bouncy Poang armchair or carrying stuffed toys for their children to play with on a mattress. For the midday squatters, the abundance of seating is no small detail in a country of 1.3 billion where nabbing a subway or bus seat is practically a blood sport.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
