A Trip Around the World
Hi Mommy,
tooday, Anja took us on a trip around the world! 
First, we took the S-Bahn (subway) from Oberursel-Stierstadt, where Anja lives.
This is a map of the public transportation system in Frankfurt. Sure looks confusing, don't you think?
We got out at the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main train station).
and Anja bought a nice sandwich. Look at all this tasty food!
Then we finally got to see the train, an ICE (Inter City Express). This thing goes over 300 km (160 miles) an hour!!! 
Looks like a rocket, don't you think?
It is very nice and comfortable inside, and I shared a seat with the other TVs
When the train started moving, Anja unwrapped her sandwich, and we all had chicken sandwich and coffee
This sure is a nice way to pass the time!
We got a glance of Cologne on the way
and of the countryside flying by
Finally, the train stopped, and we all got out.
What the heck was this? We were in China!
We had come to a place called Kota Radja!
It had a very nice city wall
but it was guarded by a terrible dragon, who tried to eat me!
(Will you please tell Anja to stop feeding me to dragons all the time! 
)
Thank goodness a nice Buddha rescued me!
And he allowed me to see the city and the beautiful flowers
We even got to play with a lion!
It sure was exciting in China, but I was still a little scared of this hungry dragon, so I didn't mind it when we left.
But then we got out of the frying pan, and into the fire.
Because next we went to India, to the Temple of Rats!
Ooooh, look at the nasty rats guarding the place!!!
They scared the living daylights out of me, but they told me they don't eat TVs. What a relief!
The other rats there were much nicer! We found a band of rats that played music for us
and finally we had fun and played games with some funny rats
What an exciting day!!! All around the world in just one day!!!
.... Well Mommy, I must admit I told a fib: we did not go to China and India at all, but instead to Anja's friend Ratta in Hagen, where we played with Ratta's rat collection and visited a Chinese restaurant 
But it was a fun day nevertheless!
Hugs
Wusch
