On the way to Japan we stopped off in Dubai but we didn't get to do any shopping :(

I'll have a picture here when Mummy is awake enough to work her camera! This is me infront of a water thing in the airport

Hi everyone!

I took part in the 90th anniversary of Girl Scouting Japan camp, at the Togakushi Girl Scout Centre. It was in such a beautiful place! There were mountains all around and we had a really big tent, but we still managed to get it messy!

I took part in the international day, looking after the UK booth! Here it is:
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3797/internationalday.jpg

Two members of the Japanese Imperial Family came to look round, and Princess Kiko actually said that I was very cute! (Cute in Japanese is 'kawaii,' I heard it a lot  ;) ) Unfortunately it is taboo to take photos of the Imperial family so my moment of greatness cannot be shown  :(  :p

The camp was five days and really tiring, me and Rebecca looked forward to the 6 hour bus journey after it so we could sleep!

See ya,
Peachy Chai  :)

Hi again!

After the camp in Nagano we went to TOKYO!!! It is such an amazing city >.< Look at the groovy youth hostel we stayed in:
http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/5863/hostel.png
We spent a day and a bit in Ueno Park, it has a lake, temples and shrines, lots of museums and even a zoo!
http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9862/ueno.jpg
One of the museums was Tokyo National Museum, it was really interesting to look around.
http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/4403/museum.jpg
My favourite thing was this red laquuer box. (We couldn't use flash so the photos aren't very clear :( )
http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/8485/boxmf.jpg
I also saw an egyptian mummy, wow! I think it was a girl, but you couldn't really tell!
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/5680/mummyb.jpg
We also went to Harajuku on this day, but I didn't like it very much :( I was worried I would get lost because it was very busy so I only peeped out the edge of Becca's bag!

*Yawn!* It was all lots of fun but very tiring!
See you soon,

Our last day in Tokyo! :(

Today we went on a boat trip so see lots of Tokyo sights. It was fun and a really good way to look around: not too tiring!

Here's a flood gate, they had lots of them because if it flooded so many houses would be ruined! I like this one because it is such a cool colour  ;)
http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/676/floodgate.jpg
I also ate the best thing ever today..... 'Matcha (green tea to you and me) Cheese Tart'..... it was so good! But no one believed me or Rebecca  :( .... oh well their loss!  :p

Back in England!

Phewf, after another 24 hours travelling, we ended up back in England.... it was raining as we arrived!

Next week I'm going to visit RikeH, or so Rebecca has told me! I'm really looking forward to visiting Germany, I've never been there and neither has Becca so she doesn't know what to tell me about it!

See you all in Germany!

PS wish me luck, I'm not used to travelling in parcels, I'm a bit nervous!

Hello Mum,

I arrived in Germany this week. Today I heart some friendly voices, and then I met Dicker Kumpel.

He will be my host here. He gave me a warm welcome.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1003.jpg

Then he introduced me to the others.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1004.jpg

I especially liked fai - he has such a beautiful color!!!

Hello Mum,

I went to Hamburg with RikeH today. She had to work, but promised to show me a nice place in the city in the lunchtime. We went around the nice Lake Alster. There is a fountain in the middle.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1006.jpg

There were swans...

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1009.jpg

... and a colorful carrousel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1010.jpg

This is the flag of Hamburg - and in the background a very expensive hotel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1012.jpg

Another view of the Alster Lake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1013.jpg

We crossed the road and saw the Townhall

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1017.jpg

and other nice buildings on the other side.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1018.jpg

What a nice trip!

Hi Mum,

we went to a small city today - it is called Bad Oldesloe - and RikeH went to school there - years ago...

First we went to a nice river.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1021.jpg

Here I stood in front of the Townhall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1027.jpg

This is the church near to the city centre.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1029.jpg

There are many nice old houses.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1038.jpg

And I really loved this view.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1039.jpg

Dicker Kumpel told me that the water wheel normally moves - but not today.

Hello again,

today we went to a Park with many animals.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1112.jpg

This beech marten looked so nice, but RikeH told me that they sometimes live in
the houses of the humans, and the humans don't really like it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1087.jpg

The wild boars were really funny.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1093.jpg

I saw a wonderful roe.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1097.jpg

Maybe you cannot see them so well, but there were many storks.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1099.jpg

I talked with this friendly sheep.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1104.jpg

After the long walk we all relaxed on this monument.

Hi Mum,

it was time to explore Sülfeld today. First I went to the nice old Church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1060.jpg

This is the old school.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1062.jpg

The mayor works here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1069.jpg

I loved this old door.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1075.jpg

Later we went to a nice little lake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1078.jpg

And we enjoyed the sun.

Hello again,

We went to a small town called Malchow. This is the view to the Malchow Lake. We had nice
sunshine.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1177.jpg

I had a nice cup of coffee and a delicious cake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1183.jpg

This is the town's landmark - a church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1193.jpg

And this is the view back to the city.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1194.jpg

The townhall...

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1202.jpg

... and another view of the church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1206.jpg

One of my missions is to be photographed with a car the same color as me, I found
a nice one - but it has only green dots.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1211.jpg

Back to the hotel - we went through the garden of the hotel. You can see the hotel in
the background.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1214.jpg

There is a nice small Pavillon in the garden.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1215.jpg

This is the view of the garden from our balcony. Really nice!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1227.jpg

We relaxed in the sun and talked about our adventures in Malchow.

Ahoi from the MS Stadt Malchow,

We made a trip on a boat to another town, called Waren. Our trip lasted two hours.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1240.jpg

This is the Müritz - the biggest Lake of Germany, that only belongs to Germany.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1245.jpg

Far away you can see Waren.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1253.jpg

I talked with this friendly wooden guy.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1261.jpg

This is a photo of our boat.

Hello Mum,

Today we went back home and stopped in a town called Wismar. This is the centre of  the old town is
the huge Market Place, the largest in Germany (10,000 square metres).  The square's focal point is the
Wasserkunst, an elaborate wrought-iron fountain imported from Holland in 1602.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1333.jpg

The northern side of the square is occupied by the Town Hall, built in neoclassical style in 1817–1819.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1335.jpg

Another notable building in the square is an ancient Gothic warehouse called Alter Schwede (The Old Swede),
erected around 1380.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1334.jpg

The 80 m high tower church of St Mary (Marienkirche) is the only remainder of the original Brick Gothic edifice, built in the first half of the 13th century. It suffered heavy damage in World War II, and was deliberately destroyed in 1960 under the East German Communist government.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1336.jpg

Then we went to the old port. In the background you can see the Water Gate.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1346.jpg

And here is a view of the harbour.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1347.jpg

I walked over a bridge with 4 pigs on it - I loved this funny one most.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_1357.jpg

Bernd the Bread is really famous in Germany. He is a TV-Star. Back home we saw one of his shows in the TV.
I am proud to be his friend.

Hello Mum,

It is my last day here in Sülfeld. I said goodbye to Dicker Kumpel.
He was such a great host!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_A0050-1.jpg

Three of the others TVs will leave today too. Bernd and Timothy can stay longer.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_A0053.jpg

We all gave us a big hug…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_A0054.jpg

… stood together and talked all night long.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/IMG_A0055.jpg

I will miss Dicker Kumpel, RikeH and the others – but now I am ready for a new host in the same country. Annett in Germany – I am coming!

Dear Mommy!

I arrived at the second host in Germany.

Because the host was on holidays last week together with Red Navel I had to wait in the dark envelope on her doorstep  :(

Well, I was released from my travel box yesterday and now I am looking forward to some nice weeks here in Thuringia - the green heart of Germany.

Dear mommy!

The last days I took the chance to get to know my surroundings.

I met the house cat 'Pünktchen' - a real cuty!

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070152.jpg

Her name means 'dotty' since she has these little black dots on her nose.

I also met the other TV which stays with my host at the moment. His name is  Red Navel  and he is from Russia.  He has been here for a while and has already seen many places. He also went to GB last week!

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070155.jpg

We often sit together and have a chat.

Well, what else? Usual days here. We went shopping at a local super market.

Now it is soon time for lunch. I have already helped preparing it.
Yummy!

So I am alone here now. But not for long, there is a new TV arriving soon: Owen.
I am looking forward to his visit.

Yesterday was a brilliant sunny autumn day and we took some time to take a stroll through the village.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070189.jpg

We went to the train station where there is a lot of construction work going on. They are building a subway.

I also saw the village church

Well, days here are not too exciting because my host has to work and then when she returns home at 4:30 pm it is already getting dark outside.
So we spend a lot of time inside and enjoy our time with postcrossing or swap-bot.

Today we received these wonderful christmas calendar packages from a swapper at swap-bot:

Dear Mommy!

Soon it is Christmas and that is why we started baking cookies on Friday.

We made four different kinds today: 'forgotten cookies', Vanillekipferl, Sahne-Krokant and butter cookies.

First we went shopping for all the ingidients which are here on the table now.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070269.jpg

Then we have to read the recipe:

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070276.jpg

Here we are preparing the dough.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070271.jpg

Then we have to cut the cookies....

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070282.jpg

and into the oven. Let's check:

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070279.jpg

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070280.jpg

The first result.  Owen helped me with all the work.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070283.jpg

The next dough has to stay in the fridge for an hour.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070285.jpg

We can use the time to prepare the third kind of cookies, the caramel ones.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070287.jpg

And into the oven once again:

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070290.jpg

This is the dough for the 'forgotten cookies'. They are called like this because you leave them in the oven overnight. That is why I have to post a pic of these cookies later.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070296.jpg

Dear Mommy!

Last week was pretty busy. First we went to Berlin for the weekend.
We did not do any sightseeing because we went there for a b-day party... and we took the time for shopping.

Here is at least a pic of the shopping centre we went to:

It got really cold and winter like here. It snowed! Look at the white landscape:

We also decorated the house for Christmas. Let's take you on a tour:

At night we light the ornaments in the windows.

We also hung the christmas calendar we got from a friend a swap-bot.
Only one more day before we can open the first package.
I am so curious!

Yesterday we went to the Christmas market in Gotha.
All over the place and market square you could find stalls and christmas decoration.

This is the town hall in Gotha with the Christmas pyramid in front.

And we went to Mongolia... oh no, of course not!

This is a mongolian yurt next to the Chinese restaurant we went for lunch.

Hello from cold and snowy Thuringia!

It has gotten really cold here. This morning we had -15°C. Freezing cold. But the countryside still looks great covered in snow.

This morning we took some time to bake for Xmas again. This time we tried Xmas cake.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070376.jpg

We put the dough in glasses to keep the caks longer and so that we can give them away as presents.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070377.jpg

And into the oven.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070381.jpg

Ready and done.

We also baked these little fellows - Xmas bears :)

Dear mommy,

It has been snowing for the last week. We went to Oberhof, THE ski resort in Thuriniga, to take a walk in the snow.

Here are some pictures of our care drive to Oberhof through the snowy forest. Owen came with us too.

We went to a Christmas party yesterday.
So we packed the presents first.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/iloveletters/Peachy/P1070424.jpg

It is a surprise party, so the other's won't know who gave them their present!

We had a lovely meal at the restaurant: roast vension

Today my host had to sing at a Christmas market in Gotha, so I went along.
We first practiced in a building nearby where they keep the plants from the cold. It was funny to sing Christmas songs between orange and palm trees :)

Hi mommy, I'm happy to tell you that I've finally arrived to Moscow. Many thanks to my previous host - she gave me a very comfortable envelope so it was not so difficult to travel that long. Right now I'm in Kristl's car going home from the post office. It is 7:30pm here, cold, snowy and very dark. I've already got 2 photos of me but since we have no laptop here, only iPhone, I'll be able to show them as soon as find a way to do this))) kristl also asked me to thak my previous host for the lovely card she got.

Update! Here am I heading to my host's home:

I was happy to learn that Kristl makes some tea in her tumbler every morning to take with her and drink on the way to her office. Sure I helped her with it!

Having our tea we went to Kristl's office. The road came throught the forest and it was beautiful.

Btw I learned that many of the government live somewhere on this road. My host says it is bad cause they allways stop all the traffic when the President or the Premier Minister needs to drive somewhere.

Wow! Today Kristl took me to St. Petersburg - the second largest city in Russia :) We went there for a day - Kristl wanted to meet her sister and friends. We got there by train and it took us the whole night (8 hours). And we got home with a very fast train Sapsan and it took us only 4 hours!

Here I am in a bar  :rolleyes:

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5092/5413489472_8a2fa4c794.jpg

We went to a bar at noon :) And after that we went to the exhibition of Sven Nordkvist's illustrations. Look at them, they're wonderful:

Hello Mom!
Today I was at Kristl's office and saw a hude bulding machine!

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2168/5729086623_dba1def4b7.jpg

They were building something just opposite the office windows

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5067/5729635418_778830da13.jpg

It was very interesting and funny to watch it. Though it was loud..

I was glad we could have rest under a nightshade on Kristl's table.
