Hello Mummy,
I arrived at the home of my first host Katja today. She was delighted when she found me sitting in my envelope on the stair when she came home in her lunch break.
She immediately opened the envelope and I was welcomed by three other ToyVoyagers, Ninni from Finland, Theodore from the USA and Big Bird is an American who is living in Japan usually.
I have a nice ID-card because I am too knobbly for attaching a travel tag with a chain. I don't even have a neck ...
I brought a beautiful key holder for my host with me. She really loves it and attached it to her keys immediately.
Katja will have to learn much about my species. She thought I'd be an anteater! Anteaters are living in South America, Everyone knows that - at least in Australia.
When Katja had to return to her working place I went with her. On our way to the law firm we took a few photos.
Here you can see houses which are typical for this region. They are covered with slate.
This is part of the town hall, in the basement you can find a restaurant like in most town halls. These restaurants are usually names "Ratskeller", wich means "cellar of a town hall".
It was a little bit boring in the office. I was hungry but the only thing Katja had which was eatable was an apple.
After closing-time we went into an Asian store to buy some things. I asked for ants but they didn't have any. They have vegetables and fruit(ugh!), many sorts of deep frozen fish, Asian sweets, noodles and much more.
Here you can see what we've bought.
I tasted the coconut juice. It's good but I'd prefer squashed ants or termites. Katja told me that she does not know if there were any termites in Germany. Ants stay in their nests or hills during winter here in Germany. It's too cold for them to come out. Even worse, this is a veggie household!
Katja cooked a hot soup with red lentils. I tasted it because otherwise I would have to starve.
It's not so bad.
Bye
Elston
