Hello Mum. 

Great news - I arrived at my new home. A nice and friendly bunny gave me a warm welcome.

His name is Dicker Kumpel – and he will be my host here in Sülfeld.

Then he introduced me to his other guests – two little mice, and a friendly goose, who arrived today, too.

I showed the postcard and the sweets I brought with me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0374.jpg

Then the two mice wanted to play – I am sure that we will have a funny time together!

Hello Mum. 

Today we went to the Landesgartenschau in Norderstedt. It is a kind of exhibition for plants.

Of course there were many plants – and I will show a lot to you.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0397.jpg

I found this lovely heart. A nice man made it out of wood.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0401.jpg

Can you see me ???

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0405.jpg

More nice flowers – and behind me you can see the church of the Landesgartenschau.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0411.jpg

I loved this flower.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0415.jpg

There were a lot of different chicken – they were so funny!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0429.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0430.jpg

Then we made a rest and heart a choir – to tell the truth it was a very small choir, but I liked the music.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0435.jpg

Later it was time to play on this funny sheep. They were a little shy, so I didn't work with them.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0439.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0440.jpg

Mum, I would like to send you some flowers!

Hello Mum,

today I visited Hamburg. First I saw this monument of a famous artist from this city - called Heidi Kabel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0001.jpg

Then we went to the Alster - a lake inside the city center. On our way we passed the beautiful building
of the Kunsthalle - a museum.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0002.jpg

There was a monument in front of it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0003.jpg

I liked this building.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0004.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0006.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0005.jpg

This is the Alster - it was very stormy this day. You can see it on the water.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0007.jpg

What a nice view!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0008.jpg

I saw some swans.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0009.jpg

Wow - they were big.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/S_0010.jpg

This is a Theatre next to place, where RikeH works.

Hello Mum, 

It was a nice sunny day – so I went outside and spent my afternoon in some nice flowers.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0384.jpg

The flowers belongs to this friendly guy, we talked a lot.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0375.jpg

There was this big flower inside.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/D_0388.jpg

Can you see me?

Hello Mum, 

I visited the village of Sülfeld today. This is the church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0004.jpg

We went inside. I love this church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0008.jpg

On the other side of the street is the pharmacy.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0013.jpg

This is the old school of Sülfeld. Maybe Dicker Kumpel will learn things there, when he will be old enough.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0020.jpg

The mayor is working here and you can see the emblem of the village.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0021.jpg

The house has a nice old door.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0022.jpg

RikeH started a cruise contest - but there are not many entries at the moment. So we decided to make our own photos. Hopefully RikeH will love them.

We built our boats and started on the table.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0028.jpg

Then I jumped into the big lake with Nessie.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0033.jpg

The mice were brave, too.

Hello Mum, 

I went to a town -called Bremerhaven. This was our first view of the city.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0045.jpg

We went through the city and found this funny monument.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0047.jpg

There was a beautiful church – and we had lovely sunny weather.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0049.jpg

In Bremerhaven is a museum for ships – and we saw a lot of them. And a submarine!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0054.jpg

I have no idea, who this is.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0057.jpg

First I thought about Dubai, when I saw this building, but I am still in Germany.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0061.jpg

In the evening we were in our hotel. Look, we have a nice view out of our room.

Hello Mum, 

We went into the Zoo today. There were many nice animals. Here you can see me with the penguins.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0080.jpg

We were able to see them swimming and watch it from ‘under the water’.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0087.jpg

I also visited a seal – this was fun!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0105.jpg

There were a lot of native birds here.

Hi Mum,

We went to the Coast today – and wanted to see some lighthouses.

This was the first one – it is not a big one, but a nice one. It has the same colors like me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0110.jpg

There was no water next to the Coast, but Dicker Kumpel explained us, that this is normal here, because of the tides.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0113.jpg

There were fisher boats in the little harbor.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0120.jpg

In another little village we saw this strange lighthouse - have you ever seen one like this?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0128.jpg

The water still was not near to us.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0131.jpg

On our way back we stopped at this beautiful windmill.

Hello Mum,

Not much happened today, we drove home to Sülfeld and had only one stop in a town called Stade.

There were many nice building, but I loved this old crane.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0138.jpg

Of course the houses were beautiful, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0143.jpg

What a funny monument.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0149.jpg

It was a nice long weekend.

Hi Mum,

I will leave Sülfeld now - and travel to my next host in Hong Kong.

I said goodbye to Dicker Kumpel. He had been a great host.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0198.jpg

Then I got a big hug by all the others.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/E_0199.jpg

I will write soon from Asia.

After a long trip, I am tired and hungry,
I can't wait to swallow some food into my stomach!

My friends led me to the kitchen,
we found a big tin box with beautiful flowers printed on it,
with the words "egg roll", we all wondered what it is?

And we found out that it's roll shape biscuits, smells fantastic! B)

T R I C K    O R    T R E A T !!!

We are having a costume party and excited to see so many candies we have!

Can you guess what kind of ghost I am tonight?  :cyclops:
I am a witch with green face, boo!
King Tut is a Japan ghost with long hair with ghost fire,
and Frankie_Blue is a vampire, the pair of big red bat wings really suits him~
I like his sharp tooth!

Happy Halloween!  :D

I start to like chinese ink painting,
they are actually some brush strokes,
but when you look it in a whole picture,
you will find that the strokes looks really like a scenic painting~
I feel like in the forest... :D

Tsim Sha Tsui is a tourist district,
because there are museums, cultural centre, heritages, also lots to eat.

Behind me is the clock tower of the former train terminal,
the terminal is not here anymore but it remains here, next to the harbour.

Then I saw a big white egg, which is the space museum actually.  :)

On my way to the Star Ferry Pier, I met a funny car.
It is the ice cream car called "Mobile Softee",
it broadcasts the well-known "The Blue Danube" during its business hours.
So~~ when you hear this, you will know that there are ice cream car nearby!  B)
vivyanhui


Posted Nov 14, 2011, 6:03 am
Then I came to the pier, and saw the green and white ferry.
Each Star Ferry has their own name, like "Morning Star", "Night Star", "Shining Star" so on...
That's cool!  :)

On my way to the Hong Kong Island, I need to cross the Victoria Harbour.
There are 3 cross-harbour tunnels, but I love ferry more~
I can see the clock tower and the cultural centre,
also the highest building ICC here.
There are really lots of skyscrapers here along the two sides of the Victoria Harbour!

After about 8 minutes, I am in the Hong Kong Island,
I landed at Central, which is the business district of Hong Kong.

You can see that it's not built in a modern style,
but a western style, just like the old buildings.  :stare:
vivyanhui


Posted Nov 14, 2011, 6:08 am
Behind me is the Western Market, it sed to be a wet market in the past,
but now preserved and became restaurant and popular cloth selling place,
where many people will come here to choose nice fabric to make clothes.  :rolleyes:

It's style is quite similar to the Central Ferry Pier, but they are not the same!  :)

In Sheung Wan, there are many old buildings,
I find it funny to see modern style buildings next to them.

This is the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park,
a giant statue of Mr Sun was set in the middle of the park.
There is a chinese style plate at the entrance of the park,
and a remarkable chime tower too.

A few artistic sculptures are placed in the park,
the one behind us is the chinese words of "equal",
which is in written in an abstract and artistic way.

Hong Kong is crowded with many different buildings and skyscrappers,
that makes the skyline so unique.
Most of them have their decorative lights on at night too.

Prehistoric Story Room is a newly opened exhibition gallery,
in which kinds of fossils like Ammonites, Trilobites, Dunkleosteus and o on.
Some of them are even found in the territory of Hong Kong long time ago!

I was so shocked and happy to find a huge bone at the entrance,
dogs will always be happy to see bones~~  B)

Other than rocks, there are two big replica of the dinosaurs, cool!
vivyanhui


Posted Dec 19, 2011, 5:48 am
And at the middle of the gallery, there is a huge model of Dunkleosteus,
I don;t know if this is the correct name, but it means "dino-fish",
which is believed to be the biggest animal ever,
even bigger than dinosaurs, with about 8-10 feet long!!!!  :o

It is also funny to see the copals too, the insects inside are alive more than millions ago...
They were trapped by the tree juice at that time,
though they died but still "alive" after so many years...  ;)

There is even a meteor rock called "Seymchan Meteorite",
it was found in Russia in 1967.

Back
