Jerena Posted Jul 21, 2012, 11:43 am	Hi! I arrived safely in Oldenburg! After leaving my travelbag I made some new friends right away.  It´s "Relaxo" and the yellow "Marta". They are very friendly! I will share a comfortable little appartment with them the next month. So time to go sleeping. Let´s see what we are going to do tomorrow!
Jerena Posted Jul 22, 2012, 9:59 am	Hey, this morning we got a big breakfast! My host and me drank a Cappuccino. Very delicious! Today we are going to visit Oldenburg city. I hope to see a lot of great things there. Bye Lepe
Jerena Posted Jul 22, 2012, 5:31 pm	After breakfast we went in the garden to dig for potatoes. I helped and was payed with mini potatoes  Then we picked peas. Of course I ate some of them! They are green just like me  That was fun!
Jerena Posted Jul 22, 2012, 5:42 pm	In the afternoon my hosts took me to their hives. At first I was a little scared but the bees were friendly. So I took a photo in front of the hives to show you all how brave I was
Jerena Posted Jul 22, 2012, 6:00 pm	It was very exciting to see Oldenburg city! At the first photo you see the "Oldenburger Lefferseck", a popular meeting place. I was sitting on a famous horse called "Donnerhall". That was a big one! The third photo shows me and the "Pulverturm". At the moment you can find there an exhibition about glass and ceramics. We looked into a prism that shows weird pictures  To chill down we drank a cold beer (alcohol-free, of course  ) at the "Waffenplatz". I got one for myself because I was very thirsty!  So that was my weekend. I hope you enjoy my pictures! See you soon, Lepe.
Jerena Posted Jul 23, 2012, 6:40 pm	Hi dad, today the summer holidays began in Niedersachsen and my host and me chilled in the sun... Yes! The sun! She has been lost for a long long time  For tomorrow there is Dog Sports on our plan. I hope to see many different dogs and I really hope they don´t think I´m a toy to play with...  Bye yours Lepe
Jerena Posted Jul 25, 2012, 12:17 pm	Phew, the weather is so hot! Sun is shining and there aren´t any clouds to find...  For Dog Sports it was definitely too hot! So we just do some "sit" and "lay down". Maybe we get the chance to take photos next week. We went to my hosts work today and made some pictures there instead. My host is working as an animal keeper in a dog school. Hasn´t she got a nice working place? You can read a "low german" sentence on the third pic. It means something like "Sit down and have a rest." I did it of course  On the fourth pic you can see maize.... I can tell you... IT IS EVERYWHERE! Then you can see me sitting on a training dummy for hunting dogs. And the last photo shows me and "Jesko". He is a German Shorthaired Pointer Mix.  Isn´t he cute? You can see that he wanted to give me a kiss. What a beautiful pic! I have great days here!  Yours Lepe
Jerena Posted Jul 30, 2012, 12:56 pm	...Is there a Weather God? Do you think there is a Weather God?! If there is one, he doesn´t like North Germany... After we had 32 °C from Wednesday to Friday the weather changed to continuous rain... and today there is rain, sun, rain, sun, storm, sun, rain... It´s frustrating! So at the weekend we couldn´t go out. But we found an other way not to get bored. Together we played "Kniffel". And guess what: I had so much luck, I won two times! The day was saved! Greetings fom the sunny and rainy Oldenburg, Lepe
Jerena Posted Aug 1, 2012, 11:43 am	Today I´ve got some photos for you that shows me at Dog Sports. "Monty" the dog was very friendly, he didn´t want to bite or kiss me
Jerena Posted Aug 5, 2012, 5:53 pm	Hey, we had a party last night in Wehdel! Yeah, it was a lot of fun! My hosts brother is going to marry next weekend and yesterday was the "Polterabend". What a crazy tradition! Everyone who was invited brought plates, cups and other things of ceramics just to smash it! "Shards bring luck!" said the future bride. I tasted beer... uuugh, I just get a small cup, but it was too much for me. Hopefully I can taste Irish beer one day and I think it would be better than the disgusting beer of last night... Unfortunately I won´t take part in the marriage celebrations but I wish the fortune married couple all the best!
Jerena Posted Aug 5, 2012, 6:09 pm	Sailing is the best!  It was sunny and blowy at the "Bad Zwischenahner Meer" so we rented a sailing boat. My hosts said that we won´t have enough time to visit the North Sea because next week I´ll continue my journey in Finland. Instead of seeing the North Sea I sailed in Bad Zwischenahn: a fair exchange in my opinion! Here are the photos: (the first pic is at the "Haifischbar" where we drunk some tasty "Bionade")
Jerena Posted Aug 14, 2012, 12:32 pm	Hi! Today I have to say "Good Bye" to my host in Oldenburg. I had a great time here and saw a lot of beautiful things! On the photos you can see me and my new friends having a little party before I crawled into my travelling envelope. I will miss Oldenburg but I´m looking forward to see Finland where my new host lives. See you soon, yours Lepe
Niina Tuulia Posted Aug 22, 2012, 8:11 am	I'm in Finland!! My flight went well and I even saved some of the candies that Jerena sent with me to my new host. (She says thanks!) Still, I was very hungry after my long journey so my host took me to a waffle cafe with her. I also got to see the Särkänniemi amusement park yesterday. (Love your neighbour) More updates later! x Lepe
Niina Tuulia Posted Aug 24, 2012, 8:35 pm	Today I went to a market place in Tampere and saw the Tammerkoski Rapids. I even found a palm tree!
Niina Tuulia Posted Aug 26, 2012, 4:47 pm	Great weekend! People were celebrating 'the end of the boating season', which means I got to see some fire artists, fireworks and other stuff last night. (You can almost see the top of my hat in this photo, right...?) A hotel that always has a light show on its own: Two caipirinhas and more cheesy phrases in public places: I'm happy... Lepe
Niina Tuulia Posted Sep 1, 2012, 4:27 pm	I've been lazy this week... Except for one day when my host took me to work. And now I've seen enough letters and parcels for a lifetime. Thanks! Today I visited a camping site and Arboretum Park and realised that it's autumn here... Angry Birds and Friendly Spider
Niina Tuulia Posted Sep 3, 2012, 11:33 am	Tampere was great but I thought I wanna see some other places in Finland too, so here's my road trip across the country to Eastern Finland where I'll be spending the rest of my time in Finland. (Bye bye Tampere!) (It was interesting to drive all the way up to Riihivuori hill with a fully loaded car but it was worth it!) x Lepe
Niina Tuulia Posted Sep 6, 2012, 12:01 pm	Lepe
Niina Tuulia Posted Sep 9, 2012, 7:10 pm	Hi Dad! I'm becoming a Finnish leprechaun: I've been living on Finnish rye bread the whole week AND I tried Finnish sauna (and beer). There's still a couple of things I wanna see next week and then I'll have to pack my things (myself) and continue my travels. Lepe PS. I haven't find my pot of gold yet. I tried to steal from my host's money save but there wasn't much to steal... I guess I'll just have to go to Ireland to get rich...or something.
Niina Tuulia Posted Sep 13, 2012, 4:00 pm	This week I've been exploring Savonlinna: (Imprisoned toys ) The Great Wave on the wall of Savonlinna art high school Olavinlinna castle... ...and the real one (....And it's getting too cold here!!)
Niina Tuulia Posted Sep 14, 2012, 6:57 pm	My last photos from here Had a nice month, cheers Finland! But now I'm off to.......
