Jyväskylä, Finland - 14th April 2012

Hi mom!
Guess what I did today evening? It was really fun!
One of hostmom's friend has a birthday party today. Hostmom asked if I want to come to the party with her. Offcourse I want that!
Before going to the party, I made some preparations to having party mood. So, I did a party hat for me.
First need to cut one peace of paper.
Then I used a clue stick.
Hurray! It started to look like a party hat.
Mom, do I look nice?
Look, this chrocheting rose with a small butterfly on it (hostmom has made it herself!), it's a birthday present to hostmom's friend. Isn't it beautiful? Do you think she is going to like it? Oh, I think so!!!
Just putting the present to the gift bag, and we are ready to go.
I asked hostmom if someone else ToyVoyager could come to the party with me, so that I wouldn't feel like outsider to being only toy there. Hostmom asked from other toys, and Niiskuneiti came with us.
Here we are, in the birthday party!
First some little snacks... chips...
...and pop corn...
...and some grapes...
...and lollipop...
Then it's time to eat birthday cake, yummy!!!
...and some drinks, too! by saying "kippis!" (it means "cheers!")
...hih, and eat more cake, this time a chocolate cake with vanilla sauce, mmmmmmm...
It was really nice party! I had lots of fun!
CONGRATULATIONS TOKKI
FOR HAVING ONE LIFE MISSION COMPLETED!!!
(Go to a Birthday party in another country)
Mom, I'm so super happy now!!!
Love,
Tokki xxx

Hello mommy!
Today was beautiful day, so I was outside. Hostmom showed me more this nice town. We visited in the harbour of Jyväskylä.
But hey, mommy!!!! Where are all boats? I can't see any of them!
Ooooh, there they are.
We all went to see boats little closer. There's Finfin, Sylvia, Mo, Porridge, PinkLady and me.
The ice looks cool!
Is there anyone who need help? I'm here! Count on me, the lifesaver Tokki.
Mom, do you like this building? It's cute, isn't it?
Here are some views from the harbour
This is the bridge of Kuokkala (Kuokkalan silta). It starts from the harbour area and ends in the neighborhood named Kuokkala.
Ooooh, what on earth that human is doing?
It must be dangerous to swinging under the big bridge.
Hih, hostmom told me that it's not a real human. It's art sculpture.
Wow!!! It's the one I never forget. It's very cool!
This nice signs is in the harbour.
Finnish text means: "Keep the archipelago clean - On behalv of clear lakes/water."
It's nice!
The harbour area of Jyväskylä is quite pretty, don't you think?
Hostmom told me that the area is even more pretty in summertimes. But I think it's nice at this time of the year,too.
Love,
Tokki

Hi mom!
I was walking just next to the lake Jyväsjärvi. The lake is quite small, and there's a nice little street for pedestrians around the lake. All these photos are from next to that lake.
I climbed on the birch (koivu in Finnish). Birch is a very common tree here in Finland.
Look mom, how beautiful the nature is!
That white building is one part of the Jyväskylä University. It's the apartment of the math and science. The famous architect Alvar Aalto has designed it.
Hhmmmm... What is this?
Hostmom told me it's an art sculpture, named Suuri Kompassi (the big compass). Artist's name is Markku Hakuri. And it has made in the year 1991.
And this is also an art sculpture. The name is Exit. The artist is Reijo Veijalainen, and it has made in the year 2002.
Ooh, even more art!!!
This one's name is Tähystäjät. The artist is Virpi Lehto. It has made in the year 2002.
It's a nice view...
And here's more art. This one's name is Kakophone.
The artist is Harald Karsten. It has made in year 2002.
"HELLO MOMMY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?"
There's nice buildings, and so funny small trees (the small ones!) in front of the building.
This is quite cool bridge! The white building is one part of the Jyväskylä University.
I'm on the bridge now. This is the one view from that bridge. There's little part of the city center and the harbour of Jyväskylä, and the bridge of Kuokkala.
Just in front of the Jyväskylä University building there's this art sculpture. This one's name is Hyöky. The artist is Kimmo Schroderus. It has made in the year 2006.
And what are those weird white things there? Ooh, more art, offcourse. I should know that...
The name of this art sculpture is Weimar-Chicago.
The artist is Jaakko Valo. And it has made in the year 1991.
Mom, look!!! Another bridge!
Well, this one is quite small one... but cute!
Mommy, I got new friends!
How cool! The footprints of those wild ducks! Have you seen them before?
Me and other TVs Mo, Porridge, PinkLady, Sylvia and Finfin were all watch them very carefully.
bye for now,
Tokki

Ilomantsi, Finland - 22nd April 2012
By: mmm105
Hello mom,
I had a nice weekend. I was in a village named Ilomantsi, in North Karelia, Eastern Finland, visiting hostmom's parents and her godchild.
In Ilomantsi there's living about 5 000 people, and there's many sub-villages there. There's also the easternmost point of Finland, and the easternmost point of the continental European Union in Ilomantsi. This village located so east, that it shares about 100 km long border with Russia.
Well, here I am, in front of the house of hostmom's parents.
After long drive a car, we were so hungry. So, we decided to cook. And I was there helping to barbeque! Yummy!
There's sausages, beef, chicken and apple slices...
...and offcourse some salad, too.
...and for dessert BIG sized pancakes (in Finnish: lettuja).
It was really good!!! And I ate a lot!!!
After eating I had enough energy to help changing tires of the car. There's no need to use winter-tires anymore, it's already time to use summer-tires.
That was little dirty work, so we all went to wash ourselves. Look, I am in the sauna. This is very Finnish thing. There's so warm and relaxing!!! Awww!!! I'm in heaven!!! It's so nice to become clean again.
Look mom, I met so many new friends!!! Many toys of hostmom's godchild came to meet us and play with us. It was really fun!
Look, I met MANY other bunnies there!
We were sailing!
And we had a party!
This instrument is kantele. It's the national instrument of Finland. More infos about kantele you can found for example from here: (click). I want to mention that kantele exist also in Finland's national epic Kalevala.
Then hostmom showed me this village, Ilomantsi.
the main street
the town hall of Ilomantsi
a dog statue in the park
lots of trees!
pitkospuut (a way for pedestrians to be able to walk through the swamp)
There's a bird's nest in the tree.
The small ladybug was our guide and she showed us places of Ilomantsi. We all followed her.
The evangelic lutherian church of Ilomantsi. It has buildt in 1796.
Some nice landscapes
The lake is still frozen and there's snow on the ice.
This is the swim hall of Ilomantsi.
Spring is here! Look, those little soft round things in the branches, they are in Finnish pajunkissa.
Awww! I'm chilling in the sun!
This place called Sankarihautausmaa. It's a cemetery for those people who fighted in war many many years ago on behalv of Finland.
Hostmom told that there was a storm last winter, and the wind was so strong that some of these big spruces fall down then. And guess what? I am sitting right now on the root of one of those fallen tree. It's quite big, isn't it?
This is the orthodox church of Ilomantsi. It has buildt in 1892. It's the most biggest wooden orthodox church in Finland, and it is dedicated to the prophet Elijah.
After long time for walking outside, I need some sleep.
Love,
Tokki

Mommy hello!
Guess what? There was an envelope today, too! And there came a cute teddy bear Ronja from Germany from that envelope. There's starting to have so many TVs here right now. But I think that the more, the more fun we all have!
We gave a group hug to Ronja as a welcome.
Love you mommy,
Tokki
