Travelog for: Purple Tentacle

Hello Mum.

Today was a special day. We went to Mandrara for a group meeting with the other TVs who were staying with her Rosalind, Karlos, Drashuven and BineHH. We planned to surprise Bzzzzz and Suomi-girl who is also staying with Mandrara at the moment, because they had the same mum. 
There we also met the family from Little Dragon, his parents Imodra Dragon and Feru Dragon and Thorin Dragon his elder brother. It was cool and very interesting to meet so many TVs. We talked a lot about our adventures and dreams. I explained my planes to take over the world and the others promised me to help me to realize my dream. Do you see Mum I got more and more companions.







Then it was time to eat something. I had a typical German fast food, curry sausage with fries. It was very yummy.



It was a great and successful evening.

Love you mum

Hello World and Mum.

This was a very special Weekend. We visited good friends from my host parents in the Saarland, because Shilos godson will be baptized this Sunday. It was very special for me to be here, because I saw so many different baptize traditions. When you want to dominate the world you should learn about the rites and traditions of the people so it could be easier for you to bring them onto your site.
Also I had the chance to visit another federal state and bring it under my control.
The Saarland is next to France and because of this they had a special baptize tradition which comes from France. The godmothers and godfathers of the child pack “Gutzien”, little backs with sweets. After the baptism they were a present for all the kids, the family and friends so they welcome the child as a part of their community.

Here we are shopping the sweets for the “Gutzien”. The sweets look so yummy.



After our shopping trip it was time to pack the backs. First all the sweets were mixed together in a big laundry basket. Who wants to swim in gold, swimming in sweets is much cooler.



Then we helped Shilo to fill the bags. At the end we had packed 50 “Gutzien” and the best is that we have our own “Gutzien” my bag is the biggest one.







This is the christening robe. It is hands made and in family property since generations and a lot of kids were baptized in this robe.



Then we had some free time, first I planned to use the time to take over Friedrichsthal but then I decided to rest the weekend and so I took the chance and played around in the garden with the others.









Another tradition for the baptism is that an apple tree was planted. So one of the godfathers brought one with him and we planted it in the garden.  It wasn’t easy but it made a lot of fun. I wonder how the apples will taste one day.













After the baptism we were helping to decorate the tables for the coffee and cake. We fold the servicing like boats, but I think they can’t swim.







Shilo gave the baby a baptism bracelet. It is another tradition here in Germany. Unfortunately we forgot to take a picture with it.
It was a special weekend for me and I had a lot of fun. And after all this I think I should establish my own religion. I have heard that with this it could be much easier for me to take over the world.

Love you mum

Hello Mum.

Today arrived a new envelope. I was very pry to see who was inside, because it is great that I become a new companion for my domination tour. Bzzzzz opened the envelope.





Out of the envelope came a little Rat. His name is Mr. Stanley. We all hugged him to welcome him here in Bochum.







Stanley told us about his adventures. It was great to hear new stories.



Then he showed us the postcard he had brought with him.





In the evening we played some board games. The first game we played was “Heimlich & Co.”. In this game you should hide from the others which figure color is yours to win the game.









The next game we played was “DonPeperoni”. In this game you want to become the mayor of a small town. To become the mayor you could win votes by giving the people money. It was a very funny game. Mum do you think I could use some of the tactics from the game to realize my domination planes?





The last game we played this evening was “Bezzerwizzer”. It is a quiz game, where you had to answer questions. Some questions were easy but others were extremely hard to answer.

Hello Mum.

Today Snowball took us into the cinema. We planned to watch “the expendables 2”. Look Mum I’ve got my own Ticket.



While we were waiting for the movie we were watching around the cinema.  On this big screen we could watch movie trailer.





Look we have found a giant movie display from the film.



Then it was time for the movie. We all charred a seat together, while we were watching the movie.





Oh it’s getting dark. I am so excited to see the movie.



The movie was really great and I had a lot of fun watching it. And mum I can tell you that I love the cinema.

Good morning World and Mum.

Today we drove to Hagen, were we are visiting the open-air museum. This museum is really cool because it is the only open-air museum in Europe which shows only the history of craft and technology. It shows moments of the history of the Westphalia craft and technology from the end of the 18. to the 20. Centaury. It was another good chance for me to learn from the history, to realize my plans for the future. But I don’t think that I will need a lot of technology to take over the world.





















We saw a lot of different old smithies. They were really impressive especially this giant one. But in all this smithies I’ve found no weapons which I could use.





















Mum have you ever seen the many different wigs? It was cool to see the work of the wigmaker, but I think they were only for humans not for so impressive and attractive tentacles like me.



When you stand here you’ve got the feeling like you were standing in the middle of an old German village.



Here you can see the room of the shoemaker, but it doesn’t help me either because I didn’t wear shoes.



In one of the houses we found a scale. We were playing and looking who weighs more. I think I am a lot heavier than Sterni.



Here we saw how clogs were made.



Then it was time for us to go home again. Goodbye open-air museum, I’ve learned a lot today and I hope I could use this knowledge one day to realize my plans.





This was another funny day. I hope you have fun too mum.
Love you mum

Hello Mum.

Today was a lazy day, so we decided to go to the playground. On the way to the playground we walked through the garden plot which is behind the house from host mum. Behind this garage we could see the house.



Garden plots were typical German and also the garden gnomes which we could see in some gardens. It was really nice to walk this way.







At the end of the Garden plot we arrived at the playground. We had a lot of fun playing there.

Hello Mum.

Today Snowball showed us around the Bochumer City. It was cool to walk around there. We saw this old statue which is a memorial of Fritz Kortebusch the last cowherd in Bochum, who had done this job from 1850 till 1870.





Near the memorial we saw this interesting art sculptures. Unfortunately the battery of Shilos cam was empty so we couldn’t take more pictures of the city. Because of that I can’t show you more of my new City. But Shilo promised me that we will go to the city again, so I have another chance to take over Bochum and show it to you.





When we were back at home we had to say goodbye to Hase. She will travel to Berlin and visit Orangesunshine there.  Before she left we hugged her and wished her a save trip and a lot of great adventures on her way.
I will miss her because we became good friends the time we spend together.









Goodbye Hase, I wish you the best and don’t forget our goal to take over the world.

Hello Mum.

Today was very funny because Snowball took us to a bowling Centre. She told us how to play. She said that we had to throw one of the bowling balls onto the pins, so that they fall down. I played with the pink ball from Shilo. The ball is so extremely huge and heavy that it wasn’t easy to roll it. But I made it because I am extremely strong. I had a lot of fun and I throw a strike but I forgot to take a picture of it because we were celebrating it.

Hello Mum.

Today we drove to Essen and visited the Phänomania. It’s an exhibition we could learn something about our senses and the law of nature. I hope I could learn some things which I could use for my plans in the future.
When I was spinning this crank it looks like the bird was inside the cage.





Look mum I found a giant xylophone and I was strong enough to play it.



In this vase were different things which we could feel with our hands and guess what it is.



This was a very difficult puzzle, but together with Snowball I made it.





Here we were exploring a cool tactually pathway.







Mum I’ve learned a lot about light today. Can you see the different colors of the shadows behind us? We made them with different lights in green, blue, red and yellow.



Outside the exhibition we could play around before we went back home. It was a very funny and interesting day for me. But I don’t think that I’ve learned something that I could use for my domination plans.







Love you Mum,
Your Purple Tentacle

Hello Mum.

Today we were visiting Mandrara a friend from host mum. We planned to play a game together with the TVs who were staying with Mandrara.
We decided to play Descent, in this game we had to defeat monsters in a dungeon. These monsters planned to control the dungeon and I think they also want to rule the world. But this is my destination, so I had to kill them all.
At the start the dungeon was very small, but with every door we opened it got bigger and bigger and we found more monsters. We got special weapons or magical spells to attack the monsters. A while it looks very good and we seemed to win the game, but in the end the monsters were to strong and we lost. This was just a small fight I have lost, but I will win the war against the monsters one day. And after that the World will be mine…. mine….. MINE……

Hello Mum.

This weekend is very special, because we were visiting the SPIEL '12 with COMIC ACTION - the world's biggest consumer fair for gaming. There we have the opportunity to see and test games from all around the world and for that we have four days. And I also have the chance to become more popular around the world, so that my domination plans will come true.

I am so happy because we are finally in Essen and behind me you could see the entrance.



Wow, here were so many people. One day all of them will know my name.



Look mum; I want to show you some of the games that we played here. We played River Dragon, Zug um Zug, Las Vegas and Fire Station. They were all very funny.









Mum I want to tell you something very important. I am so proud of myself, because I am so popular that there is a game which is called after me. Now I know that my dreams will come true one day. Yeah I am absolutely the best.



Additional to all this cool games that we saw here, we also saw a lot of other interesting and funny things here. I also met some fans of me, but host mum forgot to take a picture of us together.













On the last day of the exhibition we found a special new friend. Maybe you know our friend



One of the best things on the exhibition was the stand from Dungeons & Dragons. They were very friends to us and so we could play with their miniatures.





Mum this was a really great weekend and I had a lot of fun. It is so good to know that after this weekend much more people have recognized me and my plans. One day there will be an exhibition with only games about me.

Hello Mum.

Today we were preparing a Halloween dinner. We made scary looking chicken wings and croquettes. They were looking like ghosts and pumpkins. I love Halloween.

Hello Mum.

I am really sorry that I haven’t written for such a long time, but Shilo was very busy the last weeks so that we were only sitting around. But today she told us, that Bzzzzz will travel on to her new Host. But before she left she packed a package for her mum.





And after that it was time to say goodbye to our new friend. It is sad to say goodbye to friends, but I am sure that I will meet Bzzzzz again one day. Before she left we hugged her and wished her a save trip and a lot of fun with her new host.













Goodbye Bzzzzz

Hello Mum.

Today a new envelope arrived. Stanley was so happy to meet a new friend that he wanted to be the first to welcome our new guest. So he opened the envelope for us.





Out of the envelope came Gwen Jolie. She came the long way from Finland and is joining the long time RR like Bzzzzz, who left us some days ago.





We all hugged her to welcome her warmly here in Bochum.



After this Gwen Jolie showed us the gifts she had brought with her and Snowball took a photo with Gwen for her memory album.







Later Shilo told us that we will visit Hamburg this weekend, so we all went to bed and I dreamed from the weekend.

See you soon

Hello Mum.

Tomorrow the Advent season is starting and because of that we were helping host mum to prepare the Advent calendar. All this sweets were looking so yummy. I wish I could eat them all by myself.





This is the calendar from host mum.



Then it was time to fill host dads calendar. It took a while but then it was finished. Doesn’t it look great?







I want to wish you a wonderful Christmas time Mum.
