Hello mommy!
I`m at Maria`s place finally!
I gave her all presents that you had sent to her. She is very happy :)

I`m not the one Voyager here. I met Etwas - the ghost  from Germany and Pocket - bear as myself from UK. And there are other soft toys here, and several bears :)
Maria has aquarium with gold fishes and cat. Cat has smelled me and wanted to kiss I think :)

Bye for now mommy! It`s about 9 PM in Russia, so I`m going to my bed.
Bruno.

Hello mommy!
Last weekend I visited little town near Moscow - Snegiri.
We walked through the forest there and make fun on the snow.
Suddenly I remembered that I was a bear and during the winter should sleep  :rolleyes: But they told me that it is not the proper time and we began to make photos again.
I hope you also have fun mommy!

Hello mummy!
On Thursday I was in bar. Maria, her friend (her name also Maria) and Etwas had a party.
I ate some vegetables grilled and drank some beer (not much - just to taste what it is).
Greetings!
Bruno!

Today we went on a farm where you can see ostrichs and emus. I really liked it there, as the sun was shining.

You can see the ostrichs behind me, if you have good eyes.

Today we went to the Schloss Borbeck. It is a water castle.
Here some infos from Wikipedia:
Schloss Borbeck is the central cultural institution of both borough and district. An institution of the cultural office of the city of Essen, it regularly hosts exhibitions and concerts. A permanent exhibition on the history of the abbey  and the city  has been established in 2006. Essen's public music school has been conducting classes here since 1999. The register office has set up a special room for marriages. The 55 ha (135.9 acres) park is open to the public and the largest park in the northwestern part of Essen. A street nowadays separates a smaller part in front of the castle from the rest of the park; this smaller part mostly consists of hilly lawns and includes a former boxing  arena, which is now used for concerts.

And the pics of me: :)

Today we visited the Landschaftspark in Duisburg. Here some infos from wikipedia:
Landschaftspark is a public park located in Duisburg Nord, Germany. It was designed in 1991 by Latz + Partner, with the intention that it work to heal and understand the industrial past, rather than trying to reject it. The park closely associates itself with the past use of the site: a coal and steel production plant (abandoned in 1985, leaving the area significantly polluted) and the agricultural land it had been prior to the mid 19th century.

Today we visited the abbey Saarn in Mülheim, which is close to Essen. I don’t know something about the abbey, but it is on the Industrial road. It was built in 1214.

Behind me you can see the Henrichshütte.

Hattingen became part of the Hanseatic League in 1554 and became an important trading town. In 1720, there were 52 operating coal mines within the municipal area and Hattingen became one of the first industrial cities of the Ruhr region. Steel production started in 1853, when the Henrichshütte was founded. The Henrichshütte became one of the most important employers of the whole region and dominated the town until it closed in 1987.

My host Katrin took me with her to Hamburg to her job in the state and university library. Today she has to fill database with a lot of new information which was not very exciting.
http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp226/kawie88/103_6329.jpg

This is the book she is working on right now. It is a French book, the drawing on the left page shows dresses in the 18th century.

In the afternoon, we stumbled across this WWII monument

and while waiting for punk_boi to finish work, we checked out the fake Eiffel Tower on Park rd

Hi Mum

OMG, we finally got to go into the city... So exciting.
Here's me on the bus going in
http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Bruno/IMG_2269.jpg
http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Bruno/IMG_2270.jpg
We walked around for a bit and found this cool looking church. There are heaps of churches in the city.
http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Bruno/IMG_2276.jpg
This is city hall. We weren't allowed to go inside, but here's some interesting information about it.
"City hall was erected between 1920 and 1930 and is heritage listed. The sandstone-faced building features a finely detailed main entrance topped by a 92 metre clock tower. It is currently undergoing renovations."
http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Bruno/IMG_2281.jpg
This is the Treasury Building, formerly the Queensland Government Treasury Building, but now it is the Treasury Casino. It was built between 1886 and 1928 in three stages. It is Located at the end of Queen st Mall. There’s accommodation and of course, gambling, so naturally we weren’t allowed in.
http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Bruno/IMG_2288.jpg
Next we found some Kangaroo’s… They’re not real kangaroos though; they’re made out of scrap metal.
http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Bruno/IMG_2292.jpg
Then we met Adrian Burragubba, a native aboriginal, who busks in the Queen st mall. He’s been doing it for the past 16 years, and has even fought the government over aboriginal wages. He comes from a community in central Queensland. We didn’t want to disturb his music, so we had a group photo with him. He sits on genuine Kangaroo skin and plays the didgeridoo and clapsticks. He is dressed in traditional aboriginal dress and body paint. We were all nervous, but it was so interesting and unlike anything ive heard before.

Next we stumbled across “The Drovers”. They were originally created as part of Expo ’88, and were part of a series of 80 sculptures displaying people in everyday situations in Australia. In 1989 they were purchased by Department if Primary Industries and installed in there present location, out the front of the Department if Primary Industries building on Ann st. In 2005, they were re-created in cast aluminium to preserve them for generations to come. The drovers represent the old swagmen around a camp fire.

http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Bruno/IMG_2307.jpg
We found this really interesting statue of a man on horseback, giving a lady water and food, with lots of children standing around. I’m not sure what it all means, but they look cool.
http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Bruno/IMG_2311.jpg
Next we saw this, it’s an old Servants home, which was built in 1865 and bought in 1873 by the Brisbane School of Arts. Here’s some information about it.
http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Group%20TVs/IMG_2319.jpg
http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/strangepunkfairy/Group%20TVs/IMG_2317.jpg
Although it wasn’t very interesting inside, as it’s being used as an art gallery / coffee shop now, we got to sign the guest book.

Sadly it was then time to go back to work. Here we are on the train.
