Dear Mum

Today I had a look around the beautiful city of Bacharach and then took a boat to Rüdesheim where I rode the chair lift.









Love,

Dear Mum

I'd like to show you some pictures of the suburb where nuriayasmin lives. Kirchheim has been a suburb of Heidelberg since 1920, before it was a village of its own and was first mentioned in 767.

A small square close to our home.


The park we always cross when we go to the supermarket.


The town hall


The suburbs biggest church. Nuriayasmin thinks it's a protestant church but she isn't sure.


A school


Some houses I liked very much.


Bye,
Nils

Greetings from Denmark. We're spending a week at the Baltic Sea coast and it's really lovely here. This afternoon we went to the beach, enjoyed the sunshine and played in the sun.

Hi Mom !

Now I'm safely in Finland! When I came out from the envelope, I smelled something delicious, my host mom Fendi and my new friend, ToyVoyager PieksiHH, were baking cinnamon buns! After showing me the house, they introduced me to my new friends! My host mom's hobby is also postcrossing, so she has plenty of beautiful cards! Me and PieksiHH chose our favorites from those what she has just bought from Kuopio. Someone will be really happy after receiving so nice card.

Today we are traveling to Pori. It's on the west coast, I can see the sea! I hope that weather will be good.

I hope you are feeling well!
Greetings, Nils : )
PS. Pictures will come later

Hello !

Now I have spent few days in Finland and I have had lots of fun! And can you believe, my sister Ronja is also in Finland and in the city near that place where I'm now! We are going to meet each other when our hosts decide when and where.

At the weekend we visited in Pori, or actually in Reposaari. (Repo is a dialect word which means fox, so that place was "fox island". But sadly I didn't see any fox there). It was a beautiful place near the sea, so we visited on the beach few times. We also ate in fish restaurant and took a nap in a garden swing.

Today we visited in Ähtäri's Animal Park. Ähtäri is even smaller town than Äänekoski and it takes about one hour to drive to Ähtäri from here. That park was awesome! I saw many kinds of animals, for example bears, arctic foxes, wolves, beavers and owls. And then there was also police museum ( I have no idea what it does in the animal park..) so me and PieksiHH tried a police motorcycle! And I get a new friend from there! My host mom saved a little fox from local gift shop. She gave name Kitsune for him, Kitsune means fox in Japanese.

Today evening we are going to spent time to my host mom's boyfriend's house. Maybe we will watch some movies and play board games! : ) Let's see what happens. And pictures will be added later, my host mom's computer is so old that it's almost wooden so it takes some time to handle those pictures.

Take care!
With love, Nils : )

Hey Mom!
We have not done anything special these days. Yesterday evening we drove around by car, we visit in places called Konnevesi and Matilanankkuri (it's summer restaurant near the lake). And we ate strawberries with whipped cream! It was so yummy!
Today the weather has been nice so we were playing outside. Now we are going to watch television and host mom will maybe cook some pancakes!

Have a nice weekend! I miss you!
Greetings, Nils : )

Heeeey Mommy!

Today has been my happy day! One of my life missions has fulfilled!
I met Ronja in postcrossing meeting!
But sorry mom I can't write more now, the thunder storm is coming so I have to turn off the computer.
I will tell you more tomorrow and add pictures!
Greetings, Nils

Hi again Mom!

Now I can continue my story about yesterday. Yesterday me, PieksiHH, Kitsune and of course my host mom traveled to Korpilahti, because there was a postcrossing meeting. And there was many other ToyVoyagers too in that meeting, also Ronja! In fact there was only two (or three, I'm not sure) persons who hosts ToyVoyagers, but still there was almost more TV's than humans.
So I had fun time with Ronja and other TV's, we ate many kind of snacks and sweets, we played hide and seek (which didn't succeed very well because almost all of us hided under the glass) and then we made coffee!
After playing around and when my host mom and the other postcrossers wrote some cards, we TV's talked about our trips and we told the hottest gossips to each other. It was really great evening!
Few days ago we were in the summer cottage and tomorrow we will go to Jyväskylä!

I hope that you are feeling well!
Good night, Nils : )

Hello Mom!

Last weekend was partying all the time. Fisrt me and Kitsune organized a good-bye party for PieksiHH, who left today to continue his trips. And yesterday my host mom's boyfriend had birthday so there we are, in party again! On Saturday we heard that PieksiHH will leave soon, so me and Kitsune decided to surprise him. And with our host mom's help, we had party in toy tree house! But before the party, we baked muffins. At first that muffin dough didn't look so delicious, but it tasted very good! We get honor to lick the baking bowl.
I just woke up from a nap and I heard that Kitsune has left too! He has left a message that he is traveling to Japan. Now I'm only ToyVoyager here.. Maybe I get company soon.

All the best for you Mom!
Greetings, Nils : )

Hello Mommy!

On this week I haven't done anything special. On Wednesday I visit in summer cottage in Uurainen. Uurainen is little town quite near Äänekoski. There was two grocery stores and church. And school. But nothing else. Tha summer cottage was nice, not big but not too small either.
And on Thursday I went to school! My host mom studys in local high school so I was there with her. I met her friends and ate lunch in the canteen. We didn't took pictures there because there was always so many students everywhere. On the next week she has some free lessons so then we can maybe take pictures.
Let's see if something nice happens at the weekend!

Have a nice weekend!
Lots of greetings and hugs, Nils : )

Hey Mom!

On this week I have studied a lot with my host mom. She taught me something about mathematics (but I don't think it's even math, there was no numbers at all!) and then I help her to prepare for German exam. It was fun to listen when she read her German text book for me, I hardly understood anything. But studing is not all what we have done!
One day we visited in my host mom's friend's home. When my host mom and her friend were watching The Simpsons, I spent time with HUGE bear and looked at beautiful paintings what that friend had painted. I'm sure she will be real artist one day!
Yesterday we were in local movie theater watching Madagascar 3. It was fun movie, I want meet lions and hippos too! And visit in circus.
My host mom told me that ToyVoyager named Lancel will come to here too! I'm looking forward to meet her.

I wish you all the best!
Greetings, Nils : )

Hey Mom !

Now I have a new friend here! Lancel arrived on last week and we have had really fun together! When he arrived, we went to pick up berries from my host mom's grandmother's place. There we saw lots of Finnish nature (that place is middle of nowhere) and the hot air balloon! It flew on the sky when we were picking those berries and it kept really strange noise.

Today we were in high school. It was Lancel's first day in High School so I got honor to show places for him. My host mom had only English today and the teacher was sick so we have plenty of time to play around (we played, host mom made diligently those boring exercises). One of her friend had funny jungle hat and we played with it. And then we spent time in corridor, sleeping on the sofa.

Now we will go to make some food! I hope that the whole house won't burn.

Greetings and hugs!
Nils : )
