You can travel without going far. Shop at IKEA! Today I bought a paring knife for $2.99. It came with a booklet explaining important things like "Knives prefer to be washed by hand." And "A sharp knife is safer to use than a blunt one, so sharpen your knives regularly."The booklet contained 38 pages to accommodate text in English, Deutsch, Francais, Nederlands, Italiano, Espanol, Portuges, Svenska, Dansk, Norsk, Suomi, Polski, Cesky, Slovensky, Magyar, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese. The booklet doesn't even cover all the countries where Ikea stores are located, such as Turkey, Romania, Saudi Arabia, and Greece.
That plus Swedish Meatballs for lunch and Anna's orange cookies (Swedish recipe, made in Canada) to munch on the way home.
The knife is made in China.

My oven's manual is in all 47 of those languages, and I *still* can't figure out why there's no bell on the timer! ;-)
There is now the "Ikea Family" discount (or perhaps credit) card, here, which my husband refuses to get although 99% of our apartment came from Ikea...
