Vienna, Austria - 23rd December 2008
By: Greycat
Hello!
Guess what, we finally arrived in Vienna! Yesterday afternoon our envelope was opened and we were immediately introduced to our host brothers: Mortimer and Fluffytail, other TVs. When we arrived they just wanted to start a sightseeing tour with our hostmum, and we decided to join them. So we went to the most famous Christmasmarket around here, which is pretty close to some important sights. We saw the Viennese city hall and the main university, both are really beautiful buildings (of course you can see them on the pics). Finally we even took a picture in front of the "Burgtheater", which is an old, famous and pretty big theatre. It definitely feels like Christmas around here, and that's soo nice. Tonight we're going to celebrate Christmas with our hostmum's parents and grandparents. Hope you have a great evening, too!
MERRY CHRISTMAS from Vienna!

Hello Mum, how are you? Conny says she's really sorry for not having updated my log earlier, but Christmas holidays were really stressful for her.
On the following pics you can see me and my friends in the Christmas tree, we were allowed to climb up there, I was really afraid! Fluffytail managed climbing up that tree best.
On Christmas eve we even met the "Christmas rabbit", as you can see . He brought us some nice presents, but we already ate all of them. Can you guess what it was? Finally on December 30th we've learned an Austrian game, it's called "Bauernschnapsen" you play it in pairs with cards. Fluffytail and I won, it was great fun!
I hope you enjoyed your holidays?
Big hug from Vienna,
Dooey

Hey Mum,
how are you? I just wanted to send you this few pics from our Ne-years-Eve party and from Mortimer's farewell party. It pretty sad when he had to leave, still I found a good friend in him. I hope we can somehow stay in touch. Mortimer even asked me to accompany him on his trip, but I thought it was too early to already leave Vienna again, I hope I'll find someone else to travel with soon!
A big hug from Vienna,
Dooey

Hello Mum!
I'm so sorry for not having updated my log earlier, Conny's camera was broken and it took a while to have it repaired. But yesterday she got it back, which was really good, as Luddie had arrived on friday. Today we were allowed to accompany Conny to her mum's school (she's a teacher), where Conny is giving private lessons. As you can see, she taught us a little German. First we did a task Conny's mum does with children who don't know much German, afterwards Conny showed us how to write "My name is Dooey and I'm a Toyvoyager". That was fun. We also took a pic in front of the school. The sign says: "Primary school of the City of Vienna". On our way back we stopped on a bridge leading across the so called "Donaukanal", where suddenly a whole bunch of seagulls appeared.
I hope you like the new pics!
Big hug,
Dooey

Hello Mommy,
guess what, within the last three days three more guests arrived here: Lucky Duck, Big Bird and Nintje. It's pretty crowded around here now , but we have a lot of fun altogether, it's like our own little family . Today we decided to take a group picture, so we'd never forget each other. I hope you like it,
love,
Dooey

Vienna, Austria - 12th February 2009

Today I´ve seen the Stephansdom - the big cathedral in the center of Vienna, you know? And then I walked through the famous Kärntnerstraße to the Opera. There will be the world famous Viennese Opernball next week, on thursday. Pictures of this event are shown all over the world...and my host will be part of it. She gives her ´debut`, that means it´s her first time to visit this famous ( and normally really expensive) ball and this young couples "start" the ball with their dancing. They have to prove their abilities in vienna waltz and were selected, because they were good! So, pay attention, perhaps you will see her ?

Hi Mum!
Friday we had to say "good bye" to Mr. Lemony, he's continuing his travel, it was quite a sad evening, especially as I've spent so much time with him.
Yesterday we celebrated carnival, how do you like my costume?
By the way, Conny said she'd send me on with her next TV going out, I'm already so looking forward to it! I hope you're fine with that?
Love ,
Dooey

Oiê Mamãe!
Today we had a very different day. we went with karla to a small wedding lunch reception held by her work friend fernanda. the main dish was feijoada, a typical brazilian food made with black beans and the less noble pork parts, such as ears, tail and nose. it was created by the slaves who ate the rests of the foods.
Tchau
