Chinese Look to Ikea to Beat the Heat

Recently cities in China have been boiling hot. Temperatures have been reaching almost 110F, especially in Shanghai.

Since the cost of electricity is too high to run the air conditioning, locals have started camping out in the local Ikea department stores.

So if you go to Ikea in Shanghai, China, you’ll probably notice there are quite a few people sleeping and napping in the couch and beds section.

Some even take their shoes off and make themselves comfortable like they were in their own home.

Besides leaving for lunch and going to bathroom, some of them will spent all day snoring in the stores’ bed until the store is closed.
