Round 2 JR & Ikea!
As some of you know the last time I tried to casually enter the JR train station at Minami Funabashi with an excessively large Ikea package in hand it didn't turn out so well. Ed, Kyle, and I tried carrying my sofa home one Sunday afternoon back in September and got horribly rejected upon being spotted by the JR station master. This time around Ed and I entered with a slightly smaller box and succesfully got through the train station gates. Take that Japan!
This time around we had a solid gameplan. Yuki was able to run some interference and ask the station master on duty for random directions whilst Ed and I stealthed through the gates with our large box. I'd say it flawlessly worked. The actual package contained four chairs and the table itself so you can imagine how large it was.
About 4 hours from the purchase, this is the end result! Not to shabby if I can say so myself. Assembly was more or less simple as Ikea instructions and technology are for the most part very user friendly. My arms and hands are sore as hell, but it was nevertheless another crazy fun day in Chiba/Tokyo!
