Hello Mum!

I am very happy because today I arrived at Bochum.
Unfortunately the postman was a little late, so I had to wait into the postbox while host mum and the others went to Sea life.

But when they were back, Shilo took my envelope into her living room. I could hear voices from outside and was very curious who will be there.
When I got outside, I could see Snowball and Freddi waiting for me.

They gave me a warm welcome and hugged me.

After that I gave host mum the gummy bears I brought with me. She was very happy about it and wants to thank you for it.

Then we took a group picture together.

I was very hungry after my trip, so we ate some really yummi “Berliner”

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Sea%20Life%20und%20ankunft%20Viper/DSCN1913600x450.jpg

Snowball and I shared one, because it was too big for me

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Sea%20Life%20und%20ankunft%20Viper/DSCN1919450x600.jpg

After that I was so tired that I went to bed.

See you soon

Good Morning Mum!

Today started very funny. This afternoon we want to visit some friends from my host parents, to play there some games. Because of that Snowball had the idea to bake a cake for that.
Hmm I think this bowl should be big enough.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1931450x600.jpg

What do you think how much we three weigh together?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1932450x600.jpg

First we had to put the baking mixture into the bowl.  Freddi put it in and I looked if there wasn’t anything left into the bag.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1936600x450.jpg

Then we needed an egg.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1923450x600.jpg

I was helping Snowball putting the butter into the bowl

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1940450x600.jpg

And now the milk. I think it’s enough.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1949450x600.jpg

Ohhh I stuck into the blender. Could somebody help me out?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1920600x450.jpg

The cake look’s really delicious.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1967600x450.jpg

While the cake was into the oven, we helped host dad preparing dinner.
We were making “Wok-Pfanne” and I opened the tin with the peaches.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1966450x600.jpg

Hmm it tasted really good when it was done.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1972600x450.jpg

In the evening we went to the friends from my host parents. When we arrived we were eating the cake before we started playing Puerto Rico.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1977600x450.jpg

Hmm what should I build next?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1983600x450.jpg

Hmm this stone seems to be really yummy. Ups I ate half of it. I hope nobody recognizes it.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1989600x450.jpg

Now I need something to drink

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN1987600x450.jpg

Later we were playing Thunderstone. I think I should take this card here.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN2001600x450.jpg

Oh not the best hand

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20kochen%20spieleabend/DSCN2002600x450.jpg

This was a wonderful day.

See you soon

Hello Mum!

Today we were really hard working. Host mum planned to make spring-cleaning and we wanted to help her.
First we started changing the bedclothes. We three had to work together to pull the blanket out of the duvet cover.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2010600x450.jpg

This is very tiring, because the blanket is really heavy, but we will make it.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2011600x450.jpg

Yes we made it

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2012450x600.jpg

After that Freddi and I helped Snowball pulling the pillow out of the pillowcase

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2015600x450.jpg

Then we changed the bed sheet

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2018600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2019600x450.jpg

You know that I am a very strong snake, so I tried to pull on the new duvet cover on the blanket, on my own.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2023600x450.jpg

But it wasn’t so easy so the others helped me with it.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2024600x450.jpg

It took a while but now we the bed is ready and we are very proud that we made it.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2026450x600.jpg

Then the next challenge started. We planned to put these games to the other games into the game board. I think this should be difficult.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2028600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2029450x600.jpg

Here can you see it? I found a little space for two games.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2030600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2032450x600.jpg

Oh we can’t find any more space for the other games.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2042450x600.jpg

So we put them aside under this board

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2044450x600.jpg

After that we went on cleaning the bedroom. I took the cleaning rag to clean the window ledge. It made a lot of fun.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2048600x450.jpg

It was easier to pull it with my tail.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2049600x450.jpg

And at the end we took the vacuum cleaner. First I started it and then I sat down on the nozzle. It made so much fun.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2055600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2053600x450.jpg

I am glad the bedroom is ready. Now we went on to the kitchen.
There I cleaned the spice shelf.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2058450x600.jpg

The spice smelled really nice.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2059450x600.jpg

Then we took of the winter decoration from the windows. Shilo wanted to do it two weeks ago, but then she hasn’t got the time for it, so we were going to help her.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2063600x450.jpg

These stars were sticking on us. But I think we look cute with them. What do you think?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2067600x450.jpg

Oh mum look. There is a heron on the roof. I haven’t seen one before, it was really cool.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2073600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Putztag/DSCN2068600x450.jpg

Now the kitchen is ready. Shilo was very proud of us, that we helped her so much.

After so much work we all were so tired that we fell asleep.

Good night

Good morning Mum.

Today was a great day. Yesterday was host mums birthday, so host dad made a strawberry torte for her. She was so happy about it.

I think the cake looks really great.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2083600x450.jpg

Wow the torte was really yummy.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2088600x450.jpg

I ate the complete piece of cake.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2102600x450.jpg

After that we went to a garden Centre to buy some spring flowers.
I love this wonderful colorful flowers. Especially the cacti, I haven’t known that they could have so many colors.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2112600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2115600x450.jpg

Can you see me?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2106450x600.jpg

Wow these stones were really cool

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2104600x450.jpg

In the evening we planned to go to the cinema to watch “One Life”, but before the film started, we went to “Pizza Hut” for dinner. It was really good.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2123600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2127600x450.jpg

Then we got our cinema tickets.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2120600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2119600x450.jpg

But we had to wait a little before we could get in.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2130600x450.jpg

Do you think the hat could suit me?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2132600x450.jpg

Snowball, Freddi and I shared one seat.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2139450x600.jpg

I am so curious how the film will be

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2145600x450.jpg

Oh he film begins, now we have to be silent

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/17%20of%20march%202012/DSCN2138600x450.jpg

Oh mum the movie was so great. They showed so many animals and places there. Do you think I can visit some of them on my tour? It would be so cool.

Good night

Hello Mum!

Today we went to Oberhausen. Here we visit the Gasometer, with the exhibition “Magic Places – Natural and Cultural Monuments”

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2243600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2245600x450.jpg

In this exhibition the UNESCO has counted more than 900 World Heritage Sites which are masterpieces of human architecture and huge monuments of nature.
For the first time in an exhibition, “Magic Places” is showing the wonders of nature and culture together.
This sounds so great, that we wanted to see it with our own eyes.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2242600x450.jpg

This relief of a Babylonian Apkallu shows a person with the head of a bird. Such hybrid creatures can be found in the mythology of many cultures. They unite the powers of human beings and animals.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2158450x600.jpg

This Photo shows the “double-headed serpent” that represents the heavenly deity Xiuhcoatl, an Aztec god. It was made out of wood and covered in a mosaic of turquoise and seashells. Isn’t this snake beautiful?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2160600x450.jpg

This is a picture from the Khajuraho temple group in the north of India, which was created in the 10th and 11th centuries. Of the original 85 temples dedicated to the gods of Hinduism, 25 still exist. All the temples are richly adorned with sculptures telling of the lives of gods and human beings. The Khajuraho Group of Monuments has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1966.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2172450x600.jpg

Here we could see a picture from the minaret of the Great Mosque Quwwat UI-Islam in Delhi. It has a enormous height of 73 meters.
Qutub Minar with its mosques and tombs in Delhi has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2181450x600.jpg

Oh what an impressive picture. It shows a magnificent tomb called Angkor Wat dedicated to the god Vishnu.  In the 14th century the empire of Khmers broke apart and Angkor Wat slipped into obscurity and the jungle spread over the temple. Angkor in Cambodia has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2188600x450.jpg

Wow, have you ever seen something like this before? This is a Lightning tube. A bolt of lightning had hit the ground and trough the extreme heat the sand were melted. Due to fast cooling down the molten quartz forms natural glass.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2220450x600.jpg

Here I want to show you some of the wonderful jewelry we saw.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2228600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2225600x450.jpg

This is a tree slice from a redwood tree. It was a present from the First Lady Barbara Bush given to the city Bonn. The slice is 750 years old; 2,5 meters high and 2,7 meters wide. Its weight is 7 tones.
20 little metal panels are mounted to the matching annual rings to remind of important events out of the history of Bonn.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ausstellung%20Oberhausen/DSCN2233450x600.jpg

At the end of the exhibition we saw the gigantic "Rainforest Tree". This 40 meters high sculpture is a symbol of the beauty, fertility and vulnerability of the eternal cycle of nature. It was really impressive.

Good Morning!

Today we had so beautiful weather that we went to the landscape park in Duisburg with Paula Hip and Sam Hop, the two new TV’s from my host mum.

In the Landscape Park, extending over an area of about 180 hectares, nature, industrial heritage and a fascinating light installation were combined to create a park landscape unlike any other in the world.
At the Centre stands a disused ironworks whose old industrial facilities have today been put to a wide variety of uses. In an old gasometer Europe’s biggest man-made diving Centre has been created and an extinguished blast furnace has been modified to provide a viewing tower.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Landschaftspark/DSCN2333600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Landschaftspark/DSCN2350600x450.jpg

Around the buildings we saw a lot of wonderful spring flowers.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Landschaftspark/DSCN2340600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Landschaftspark/DSCN2365450x600.jpg

We climbed up a small hill to have a look over the park. It was really great here.

Wow this bucket is really huge.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Landschaftspark/DSCN2380600x450.jpg

I think these hedges look like snakes. Don’t you think so?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Landschaftspark/DSCN2387600x450.jpg

What a wonderful cherry tree

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Landschaftspark/IMG_0082600x400.jpg

Then we climbed up the viewing tower. We were really proud of our host mum.  She has a fear of heights, but she went up there to have a look at the great view with us.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Landschaftspark/DSCN2420600x450.jpg

Isn’t it really impressive here?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Landschaftspark/DSCN2427600x450.jpg

What a special day. We were really exited what we will experience the next time.

Hello Mum!

The last days were really busy. So I didn’t had the time to write you. I’m really sorry about it. But now I want to tell you a little bit about the last days.

On Monday we visited the dancing school, were host mum and dad went every week to dance.
Wow this room was so big.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2246600x450.jpg

From here the dancing teacher could control the music.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2250600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2249600x450.jpg

We considered dancing too, but then we changed our mind and watched host mum and dad while they were dancing.

The next days we were really busy, because we were helping host mum, sewing a small toy monster.  It made a lot of fun.
In this box was everything we needed. I hope we will make everything right.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2283600x450.jpg

First I was reading the instructions

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2288600x450.jpg

Then we copied the artworks and cut them out. I think this looks good.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2294600x450.jpg

After that we were painting it on the sheets of felt and cut them out.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2316600x450.jpg

Help….. Help me.  I think I am lost between the left over from the felt.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2308600x450.jpg

Wow mum, doesn’t it look great till now?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2321600x450.jpg

After so much work, we needed a little break. After that we went on to sew up the head of our new friend.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2594600x450.jpg

Then we needed the stuffing to fill it. This wasn’t easy but we made it.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2601600x450.jpg

Great we did it.  It took us three days but then our new friend was finished. He is called Domino.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2604450x600.jpg

Out of these parts, we want to sew Domino a coat the next days.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Tanzen%20und%20Domino/DSCN2605600x450.jpg

This was a wonderful week and soon we have Easter. I am so curious how it will be.

Hugs and kisses

Good Morning Mum,

Today we were really hard working. We made some spring decorations.

It was very funny and we had to work all together.

What do you think about hide and seek? I am hiding :-)

Do you think I could wear this flower hat?

Hello Mum!

Today was a great day.

When host dad came with the post into the living room, he had two surprises for us. The first one was an envelope. Inside the envelope was Happy Ping who came back home from his first host Dr. Kröbner, before he went to his new host Leslie in Chile.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2688600x450.jpg

We hugged him to welcome him home. He is a very nice penguin.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2697600x450.jpg

Then he showed us the presents he brought with him. And he gave me a chocolate bunny.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2698600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2706600x450.jpg

Then we took a group picture

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2708600x450.jpg

After that host mum took out an envelope with a wonderful card from Freddis mum.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2711600x450.jpg

In the evening we decided to play a game called “World of Warcraft”.
Freddi and I were playing against Happy Ping, Snowball and Sam Hop.  We played a shaman.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2618600x450.jpg

What monster should we fight next? I think I take this one :-)

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2630600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2631600x450.jpg

I think it’s a little bit scary between all this monsters

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2654600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2653600x450.jpg

Now I want to make this quest. I hope we can win. Freddi was rolling the dices and I placed the hitmarkers on the board

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2638600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2636600x450.jpg

Yeah we did it. Now we could lvl up our hero. I didn’t know what spell I should take.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2629600x450.jpg

This game is not easy, but it made a lot of fun. At the end we decided to call it quit, because it was so late.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2661450x600.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/rueckkehr%20ping%20und%20spieleabend/DSCN2659600x450.jpg

Now it is time to go to bed.
I hope the Easter bunny will bring us some presents tomorrow.

Good night
Your Viper

Happy Easter Mum!

Today we went to the parents from our host dad. When we arrived there we saw, that the Easter bunny had left some presents for us.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ostern/DSCN2662600x450.jpg

I found a lot of eggs, hidden everywhere in the garden.

I hope no bird is coming  ;)

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ostern/DSCN2669600x450.jpg

It made so much fun, searching all the presents the Easter bunny had left us. We found so much of them.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ostern/DSCN2687600x450.jpg

I hope you have wonderful Easter holidays too mum.

Hello Mum!

I am so happy, because today I will travel on to my next host. Happy Ping will also travel on to his next host Leslie.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Abschied%20Ping%20und%20Viper/DSCN2726600x450.jpg

We hugged everybody and said goodbye. I will miss my new friends and host mum and dad.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Abschied%20Ping%20und%20Viper/DSCN2747600x450.jpg

After that it was time to leave. Ping and I packed everything together and went into our envelops.
Bye bye everybody, I hope we will meet again one day.

I have finally arrived in Canada!

My new host is also hosting Mr. Furrington, so he was the one to open my envelope. :)

My new friend gave me a welcome hug. :)

http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/1976/comp10.jpg

So I gave him the flower I'd brought with me! He was really happy!

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4439/comp11.jpg

I also met one of my host mom's cats!

http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/3761/arrival3g.jpg

Then Mr. Furrington told me there was another envelope to open! We decided to work together to open it.

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/6246/comp12.jpg

We peeked inside...

http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/6403/comp13.jpg

Can you see anything mom?

Oh, there she is! It was BineHH, who also just arrived here in Canada!

I hugged her. :rolleyes:

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/9553/comp18.jpg

We decided to share the candies I had brought with me.

Hey mom!

This morning we decided we should do some activities outside today... but then we looked out the window and saw that the sky was covered in dark grey clouds! :(
We waited a bit to see if it would rain... and it started snowing! So we decided to go out anyway!
It was a little bit cold but not too much, so we went to the park. :D

Hello mommy!

The weather hasn't been very nice lately, it's raining all the time. :( But today it was sunny and warm so we thought it would be nice to go outside! Host mom said we should go downtown Saint-Hyacinthe to visit. It's an older part of the city, so there are a lot of small boutiques and restaurants and old-looking buildings!

We invited one of my host mom's friends and took the bus!

http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/572/dsc02007f.jpg

And we got off the bus to go walk downtown.

http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/3966/dsc01931i.jpg

First we decided to go to the library to look at the books.

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1778/dsc01926xq.jpg

There were a lot of books!

http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/4208/dsc01921e.jpg
http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/4737/dsc01923s.jpg

We even met a friend that lives in the library!

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/2580/dsc01924ov.jpg

Then we decided to go to the market, so we continued walking down the streets.

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/5472/dsc01934i.jpg

And finally we saw the market! It's the red building at the back. :) In the summer there are farmers who come here to sell all sorts of fruits and vegetables, but for now the weather is still too cold. So we went inside to see the other sellers.

http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/6536/dsc01937o.jpg

We stopped at the bakery... Everything looks so yummy!

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/3420/dsc01942hn.jpg

Look at all the cool cupcakes!

http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6191/dsc01947k.jpg
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/441/dsc01948d.jpg

We didn't want to eat anything though because it was almost dinner time, but we took a hot chocolate with Belgian chocolate!

http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/8545/dsc01952dp.jpg

We sat at a table to rest for a while.

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/7696/dsc01949xy.jpg

We went back outside and saw a small fountain!

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/82/dsc01918iz.jpg
http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/2977/dsc01920b.jpg

Then we decided to go somewhere for dinner. We didn't want to go somewhere too expensive so we went to a small fast-food restaurant and host mom ordered a French-Canadian dish, called "poutine". It's simply french fries and cheese with brown gravy.

http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/9754/dsc01958a.jpg

After dinner we continued to walk around for a while.

http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/4527/dsc01961r.jpg
http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/9985/dsc01962ue.jpg

http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/6043/dsc01987ao.jpg
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6136/dsc01988o.jpg

Then we decided to stop at a bistro to have a smoothie for desert!

http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/8984/dsc01972e.jpg
http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/4817/dsc01965fc.jpg

It was really yummy but now I'm full!

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/6981/dsc01975k.jpg

The view from the terrace was nice!

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/4556/dsc01981y.jpg

After that we went to a small park.
http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/6541/dsc01986c.jpg
http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/2438/dsc01998fp.jpg
http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/1912/dsc01991e.jpg

And we found this memorial for the people who lost their lives during the war... It says "In memory of our glorious who disappeared during the wars".
http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/5825/dsc01989o.jpg
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/2025/dsc01990ox.jpg

There was also the City Hall beside the park!
http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6427/dsc01993ma.jpg
http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/3662/dsc01997ih.jpg


The sky was getting cloudy again and we were tired so we decided to start walking back to the bus stop to head back home.
And we took the bus again!
http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/5491/dsc02005c.jpg

I had a lot of fun today! My host mom said next week-end we should be able to go to Montreal, a big city here in Quebec... I'm looking forward to it!

Love,

Posted May 18, 2012, 11:19 pm
Hey mommy!

Guess what! We visited a new city today! :D We went to Montreal, a big metropolis here in Quebec. I was excited to visit a new, bigger city. We were supposed to go earlier, but sadly we had to wait a few more days... But we visited a lot of places and took a lot of pictures!

We were lucky because it was sunny and warm today... It's been raining a lot lately. :(

We had to take the bus first to go to Longueuil, which is a city located on the South Shore, close to Montreal.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02104.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02105.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02113.jpg

Finally, after about an hour long ride, the bus arrived at Longueuil, so we got off and walked through the station to go to the subway station.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02118.jpg

We went down the stairs to wait for the subway.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02121.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02124.jpg

And finally it arrived! So we got in.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02125.jpg

We got off two stations later, at the Berri-UQAM station in Montreal. Here is a map of the subway stations. The subway line we had taken is the yellow one.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02135.jpg

And here is a map of Montreal! As you can see, it's a big island.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02138.jpg

We had to take another subway to get to our location, so we went up the escalators and followed the signs to the next subway we had to take.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02141.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02145.jpg

We got off at Peel station.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02148.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02153.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02155.jpg

And finally we went outside!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02159.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02162.jpg

We went to a library to look at the books and then we went to an underground shopping center.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02163.jpg

The shopping center was bigger than it looked!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02170.jpg

There was a big fountain on the first floor!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02173.jpg
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/939/dsc02176copy.jpg
http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/9751/dsc02177copy.jpg
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1241/dsc02178copy.jpg

Then we walked through the Eaton Center... which is another shopping center!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02181.jpg


There was an old-looking telephone booth. :stare:
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02182.jpg

The Eaton Center is quite big too!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02185.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02189.jpg

Then we decided to take the subway again to get to another part of the city.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02191.jpg

We got off at the Place-des-Arts station.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02198.jpg

The "Place des Arts" is a place where there are a lot of shows and plays, so there was a long corridor with posters of all the upcoming shows and events!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02199.jpg

And there was another corridor with animations displayed on the walls. It was pretty!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02205.jpg

Then we walked through the Desjardins Complex... Which is ALSO a shopping center! :rolleyes:

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02211.jpg

We got a little lost because we couldn't find the signs that indicated where the subway station was... But fortunately we found a map!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02206.jpg

And we found our way!

We didn't take the subway yet though, we decided to go outside first to walk around and visit more than just shopping centers and subways. :P

So we go out from the station, which is beside the Montreal Congress Center. The trees we full of flowers, it was beautiful and it smelled good! :)

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02225.jpg

And we met some pigeons... There are a lot of them in Montreal!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02218.jpg

We continued walking.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02229.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02230.jpg

And suddenly I noticed there were signs with Chinese writtings everywhere... So I ask my host mom, had we been walking so long that we were now China?? :o
She said we were actually in Montreal's Chinatown! Which shouldn't really be called "Chinatown", because not all the restaurants and boutiques are Chinese, some are Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean, etc.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02240.jpg

There was a cute graffiti!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02245.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02246.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02252.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02259.jpg

There are gates like this with foo lions on most of the streets you can take to enter Chinatown.

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5853/dsc02255copy.jpg
http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/4920/dsc02256copy.jpg

As soon as you cross the gate you get back to the "normal" town... It's strange but it's fun!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02260.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02264.jpg

We walked back to the subway station to meet with some of my host mom's friends.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02268.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02270.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02275.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02277.jpg

We got off at Berri-UQAM again to wait for them.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02279.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02283.jpg

Then we decided to go to the "Quartier Latin" (literally translated it would be "Latin Neighbourhood" ) to find a restaurant for dinner.

This is the "UQAM", which is the University of Quebec in Montreal.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02289.jpg

There were all kinds of boutiques and restaurants.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02292.jpg

Then we saw a really big statue!

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/7854/dsc02295copy.jpg
http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/7674/dsc02296copy.jpg
http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9717/dsc02297copy.jpg

We finally decided to go to a restaurant called "La Bulle au Carré". It's a French restaurant.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02299.jpg

There were comic books and games on the tables to read an play while we waited!

http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8846/dsc02301copy.jpg
http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/2820/dsc02302copy.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02319.jpg
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/4201/dsc02320copy.jpg

We looked at the menu.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02304.jpg

It was hard to choose! There were mostly hamburgers and crepes but they all sounded so good!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02313.jpg

We decided to play Connect Four while we were waiting for our orders to be ready. Bine agreed to play with me!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02338.jpg
http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/4417/dsc02325copy.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02339.jpg

And I won!! :D

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02341.jpg

We still had to wait a little bit though.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02328.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02323.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02342.jpg

And finally our plates arrived! Dont you think it looks yummy?

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02346.jpg

Well, it was! :)

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02349.jpg

Then we ordered a crepe to share for desert. It's not really visible on the picture, but the waitor set the crepe on fire after he put it on our table! :stare:
My host mom told me it was a "crêpe flambée", so it's normal... that reassured me!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02353.jpg

It was good but now I was really full!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02357.jpg

After dinner we walked again a bit, and stopped in a park.

http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/9496/dsc02358copy.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02372.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02375.jpg

And finally we got to our final destination: the "Café Campus"! It is a small showbar, and we were going to see a humorists show!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02378.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02392.jpg
http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/1785/dsc02400copy.jpg

We took pictures during the show, but unfortunately they were all dark and blurry because we weren't allowed to use flashs. :(
The show was funny though!

It ended late, so we walked back to my host mom's friend's car and went back home to get some rest.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02469.jpg

I had a really fun day overall! It was nice to visit a new city and we were tired from walking so much but it was worth it!
Maybe we can try to go to Montreal again soon... My host mom says there are a lot of other places to visit since it's so big!
She also said we will most likely be going on a trip to Gatineau, a city near Ottawa, the capital of Canada, next week-end... It would be fun!

I hope you are doing well,
Viper

Hello mom!

Today we found a big envelope in the mailbox! :D

We decided to open it together...

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/9992/dsc02519dg.jpg
http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/6241/dsc02520vp.jpg

It was Shooga, another TV travelling to Canada! :)

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/8135/dsc02521wo.jpg

We gave her a group hug!

http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/6341/dsc02535o.jpg

She had brought candies with her so we shared them.

http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/1201/dsc02537sc.jpg

Then we played with Gaby, one of my host mom's cats!

http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/732/dsc02530tl.jpg

Hello mommy!

Today we visited one of my host mom's friends.

I met a toy that looked just like me, but bigger!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02492.jpg

I think I'm prettier though. ;)

Then we went downstairs to watch a movie, and I noticed something strange...

I ask my host mom, why are there plants in a showcase?

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02497.jpg

She told me to look closer...
Hey! It's a snake!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02500.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02501.jpg

I met a real snake mom, I completed a first life mission! It's so cool! B)

I'm glad I made new friends today... I hope I'll get to meet more snakes, it was fun!

Love,

Hello mom!

The weather was warm and sunny today so we decided to go outside! We went to Mount Saint-Hilaire, which is about 30 minutes from my host mom's house.

There are a few trails that go to the top of the mountain. We chose to take the "Rocky" trail, which is the longest. It takes 4.8km!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02562.jpg

After a while we saw some water... it was a lake!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02569.jpg

It's called the "Hertel" lake. I didn't think there would be a lake on a mountain! It was nice.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02573.jpg

We decided to rest a little.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02575.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02577.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02581.jpg

We wanted to stay longer but we had to leave if we wanted to get to the top!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02584.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02590.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02597.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02600.jpg

Hiking up a mountain is tiring! We had to take a few breaks to be able to keep going.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02604.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02606.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02611.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02617.jpg

Only 0.5km left!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02622.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02625.jpg

And here we are!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02637.jpg

Isn't it nice? It's so high!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02641.jpg

We can see the Yamaska rivers and all the houses and fields from up here!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02656.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02646.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02648.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02650.jpg

It looks like we're closer to the clouds!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02659.jpg

We rested a bit because we were tired...

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02661.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02664.jpg

And decided to make our way down.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02674.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02680.jpg

...And we were finally back down the mountain! It was a lot faster to go down than up. :p

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02686.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02687.jpg

Time to go back home now! :(

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02693.jpg

I was glad to get back home and rest though, I was so tired! And we had a lot of fun. :)

Hello mommy,

Today our friend Bine had to leave us to travel to her next host.

We were sad to have to say goodbye to her, but I hope she will have a lot of fun in her future adventures. :)

Hello!

We decided to do a cake today! So we looked through some recipes and my host said we should try making a mayonnaise chocolate cake. It sounded really weird to put mayonnaise in a cake! :o But she said it didn't taste weird and it makes the cake really moist so we agreed to try it out!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02765.jpg

We started gathering the ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, chocolate chips, mayonnaise, water and an egg.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02766.jpg

Then we gathered a bowl, utensils, measuring cups and a measuring spoon.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02767.jpg

Now we were ready to begin!

First, I preheated the oven.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02825.jpg

Then my host mom's new TV, Axel, started with the flour.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02769.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02771.jpg

Then Shooga got to add the sugar.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02773.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02776.jpg

I put some cocoa powder.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02779.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02782.jpg

Mr. Furrington decided to add the baking powder.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02786.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02788.jpg

Shooga added the baking soda.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02791.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02795.jpg

And then she had to mix all these together before we added more ingredients!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02797.jpg

Axel took some mayonnaise to add it to the mix.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02798.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02799.jpg

And Mr. Furrington poured some water.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02800.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02802.jpg

Shooga added the egg...

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02805.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02807.jpg

Almost done! I mixed the ingredients again.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02809.jpg

And then Axel added the last ingredient: chocolate chips!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02810.jpg

Mr. Furrington mixed everything one last time.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02811.jpg

My host mom poured the mix into the mold and then we added some more chocolate chips together!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02813.jpg

It's ready to go into the oven now!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02818.jpg

It's cooking slowly...

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02827.jpg

And... all done!
It looks really yummy now! But it's late now, so I think we should wait for tomorrow before we eat it!

Hello mommy!

Today is Quebec's National Day! We couldn't go to the celebrations yesterday night, but we decided to go to Montreal today.

We had to wait for the bus to arrive.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02881.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02882.jpg

And finally we got on the bus!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02884.jpg

Then we had to take the subway again.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02886.jpg

We got off at the "Champ-de-Mars" station.
We had to go through a tunnel to get outside the station.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02893.jpg

Then we followed the signs to go to the "Old Port".

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02897.jpg

On our way, we walked by the Montreal City Hall.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02902.jpg

We got up the stairs and saw a lot of people were resting beside a fountain. It was refreshing!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02905.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02908.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02909.jpg

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02906.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02907.jpg

It was a hot day so we found a spot in the shadow to hide from the sun a bit.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02910.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02911.jpg

We continued walking and got to a plaza.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02914.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02916.jpg

We saw some street performers! There was a mime, and kids were trying to copy him... it was very cute and funny!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02920.jpg

There were also other talented street performers.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02925.jpg

And finally we got to the Old Port!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02928.jpg

This is a big anchor! Can you see me? I'm so small compared to it!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02929.jpg

We walked through some parts of the old port.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02931.jpg

There were a lot of boats!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02934.jpg

And there were horse with carriages on the streets. The horses must be hot, working at such a high temperature! At least they get to rest.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02939.jpg

There were a lot of small streets full of stores and restaurants. It was nice!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02946.jpg

We took the subway again because we decided to go watch a movie at the theater!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02949.jpg

On our way we saw a small cathedral.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02957.jpg

And finally we got to the theater!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02953.jpg

We saw the movie Dark Shadows. It was really good! Then we decided to go home because it was raining and we didn't have an umbrella. :(

I had a fun time in Montreal though! And my host mom bought a Quebec flag to celebrate the National Holiday. :)

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02959.jpg

I hope you are doing well mommy!

Hello!

Remember I said last Sunday was the National Quebec Day? Well, today, July 1st is Canada Day! :p
Happy Canada Day!! :D

We thought we could do something special today... My host mom suggested we go to the zoo! It's not related to Canada Day, but it's fun so we agreed!
So Mr. Furrington and I went to the Granby Zoo (with our host mom of course!) today!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02979.jpg


We decided to go see the African animals first. We saw a big rhino!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02986.jpg

But the elephants were even bigger!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02990.jpg

Such a big skull...

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02988.jpg

Flamingos... They're so pretty with their pink feathers but they quack just like ducks. It's funny!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02993.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC02996.jpg

There weren't many zebras... they were probably resting somewhere in the shadow of the trees.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC03001.jpg

And the bats were eating. The fruits seemed to be very yummy because they all liked them!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC03014.jpg

Look! I'm on a gorilla!... Not a real one of course. :rolleyes:

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC03016.jpg
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC03017.jpg

These are the skulls of a chimpanzee, a gorilla and a human!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC03019.jpg

Such a big tortoise!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC03025.jpg

And she lives with a nice goose. :)

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC03027.jpg

Now I'm riding a plane! B)

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC03032.jpg

What's this?

It's a hippo!

They have large skulls too!

Then we decided to try out the train ride!

Then we found a picnic table to rest and eat a bit.

Do you want some radish mommy?

Now... where should we go next?

Let's go see the Asian animals!

This Asian black bear is resting quietly on a rock beside the waterfall... It must be refreshing!

We saw some lory birds!

And a Przewalski's horse. :)

Then we went to see the Siberian tigers!

A tiger's skull:

And there was a fish pond in the tigers' enclosure.

There were also some Amur leopards. They are so nice!

I was almost eaten by a hippo! :o

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u212/Snow-Moon/DSC03179.jpg

They were not real animals though, so it was safe!

Then we got to see some snow leopards! They were really beautiful.

After that it was almost time for the zoo to close, so we went back home.

It was tiring, but it was so fun to see all kinds of animals! I really enjoyed my day. :)

Love,
