Hi dad!
Sylvia left here earlier today, BUT we got more company today, too.
ToyVoyager Mi Nam arrived here. She is like a bunny and a pig, too. Both of them! How cool!
It's so nice to have more friends!
Love,

Harjun Paperi, Jyväskylä, Finland - 19th May 2012
By: mmm105
Hello!
I was today in the city center with hostmom. It was really fun!
We went to postcrossing meeting!!!
The place of the meeting was a small shop named Harjun Paperi. There's amazing amount of nice postcards, notebooks etc. cute things.
Hostmom took also B.o.B., Mi Nam and her own travelling toys Stella and Luna with her.
Here are we three ToyVoyagers in the meeting place.
From this second photo you can see the informations of the Harjun Paperi, the place where we were.
Meeting is going. Hostmom and her postcrossing friends are writing lots of postcards and they talk and laugh and so on. It seems like they all have really fun.
But, we toys have fun, too! We tasted candy named Marianne. It was really good!
And I drank a cup of tea.
And then we found some chips...
And we ate them...
And we ate little more...
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, yummy!
And we met a new friend: a tiny teddy bear. He is living in there.
...We met also a pink poodle. She is also living there.
Then I went to see what kind of place it is.
I found lots of nice postcards!!!
...and other nice things
Look this place! Isn't it marvellous?
We went to the small postcard-house.
Believe it or not, but the small postcard-house has made from postcards by sewing them together. Wow!
We went to sit, and watched what people did.
Look! There was shoes, and flowers in it. Hih, so funny!
It was really nice day!
Love,
Erol the Pirat

Hey dad!
I have been so good time with my ToyVoyager friends here, that I haven't got a time to write updates daily...
Hostmom has got busy days at work lately, and she has been quite tired after the work day, so we toys have been doing something ourselves. One of the most nicest thing we have done, is playing different boardgames. It has been fun!
We have been played for example the Monopoly, Muuttuva labyrintti (the changing labyrinth) and different kinds of plays with playing cards.
Hostmom promised, that I can go outside soon, because the weather forecast has told there will be so nice weather here in the next following days.
Love,
Erol the Pirat

Hello dad!
I had a w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l day!
Guess what I did... I was in a TOYVOYAGER MEETING!!!
Just great!!! I met sooooooo many new ToyVoyagers, and we had so much fun!
Here are we all toys together in Kirkkopuisto (a church park).
Our hosts and moms mmm105 and Reissari from Finland, and RikeH from Germany has organized this meeting, thanks for them!
Look very carefully these pictures, dad!
Can you see there any familiar charachters there?
YES, I met dicker Kumpel and my earlier host RikeH there, too!!!
How small this World is!
Then mmm105 and Reissari said they have a secret, and we all must trust them. They talked each other something about benji jumping... No no no, I won't do that!!! It's too crazy thing to do!!!
But it wasn't a benji jumping place where we went. I was so relief about that. mmm105 and Reissari were just kidding!
We went to see more Finnish people in a great postcard shop, where was a postcrossing meeting there. That was nice!
Look, I saw a pirat ship in the window of the postcard shop!
After that we went to the restaurant and I ate pizza, yummy.
Then was time to go "home", to mmm105's place.
There we said welcome to a new TV TobiHH, who came to visit mmm105.
After a long and exiting day, I was quite tired, so I went to sleep...
ZZZzzzzZZZ zzzzz ZZZZZZ zzzzz ZzZzZzZ zzZZZZz ZZZ zzzz
Love,

Jyväskylä, Finland - 1st June 2012

Hey dad!
Today hostmom took me with her to visit a great place.
We went to näkötorni (the viewing tower) to see good views about Jyväskylä city.
And the views were definitely so great! I saw the hole city from there!
The viewing tower is located in the place called Harju (it's like a hill just next to city center).
There's the city center, and the harbour of Jyväskylä:
There's the sport stadium of Harju:
And if you look very carefully on the horizon of the following picture, you can see the ski jumping place there:
There's the house where hostmom is living! Yes, the building inside the red circle.
There's Natural History Museum in the same building as the viewing tower is.
So, I visited there, too.
The Natural History Museum's website (click) tells that "The Natural History Section serves as a preservation unit for natural scientific research, and displays environmental subjects and research material. It takes care of the living plants of the botanical garden on the campus. It also receives wild animals found dead and prepares scientific samples of them. The section has a collection of over 250 000 samples, the most numerous being invertebrates, plants and moss."
I saw many Finnish animals there.
I saw hirvi (a moose). It is the biggest animal living in Finland.
And I saw karhu (a bear). This one was a baby bear.
And there's two swans. A swan ( joutsen ) is the national animal of Finland.
Just next to Harju, we all stopped to watch a fountain.
And by walking in the city center I saw this little detail on the wall of one building.
Looks cool!
Love,
Erol the Pirat

Hello!
Today I watched television. There was very popular program, Moomins.
Moomin charachters and stories are popular in Finland, but also almost all over the World. The writer of Moomin stories is Tove Jansson (1914-2001).
Hostmom told me, that there's many many Moomin things here in Finland. First of all, there's the Moominworld in Naantali, the Moomin museum in Tampere, and there's also lots of Moomin products selling in Finland.
Lots of Moomin info you can find through this link.
Love,
Erol the Pirat
