Travelog for: Mr. Stanley

Hello Mum,
After a long time with RikeH and Dicker Kumpel it was time to move to my next host.
But first we had a small mouse-meeting. You can see me talking to UrselHH and Dottie Mouse. It was so much fun!



Then I said good-bye to Dicker Kumpel. He was such a great host and we had so much fun together!



All the TVs gave me a big hug!



Now I am on the way to my next host.

Love
Mr. Stanley

Hello Mum.

I am so happy because today I arrived at Bochum after a short trip. I could hear a lot of different voices from outside my envelope. I can’t wait to come out.





Finally my envelope was opened. First I can’t see well because it was so bright outside. But after a moment I could see well. The first one I could see was a little Bee. Then I saw the other TVs who were waiting for me. There were Bzzzzz the Bee, Sterni the bear, Hase the rabbit, Purple Tentacle and Snowball the stay at home TV from my new Host mum Shilo. The others welcomed me warmly here in Bochum and hugged me.







I told the others about my great adventures. And the others told me their stories. It was great to hear so many different stories.



After that I showed the others the postcard he had brought with my and gave it to Snowball. She told me that she is collecting postcards from the TVs who were visiting her here in Bochum.





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.





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 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.



















We saw a lot of different old smithies. They were really impressive especially this giant one.





















Mum have you ever seen the many different wigs? It was cool to see the work of the wigmaker.



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.



In this room we could see the work of an upholsterer.



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



Here we saw how clogs were made.



Then it was time for us to go home again. Goodbye open-air museum.





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

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.





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.

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 and I had a lot of fun. 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.
In this barrel I could make a tornado out of water. It was very cool.



This was a very difficult challenge. On this shield I had to say the name of the color and not the word that was standing there. It wasn’t easy but I think I did quite well.



Look mum I found a giant xylophone and a cool gong.







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



Here we were exploring a cool tactually pathway.





In these bottles we could smell a lot of different aromas. I was very good in it, but some of the aromas don’t smell good.



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.



This was the best thing in the exhibition. I liked this lightning’s that were moving under me.



Outside the exhibition we could play around before we went back home. It was a very funny and interesting day for me.



Love you Mum,
Your Mr. Stanley

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.
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. But this is ok because we had a lot of fun together.

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. *g*

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



Wow, here were so many people.



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.









Purple Tentacle found a very special game, it is called Tentacle Bento. I think you could imagine why he loved this game *g*



Additional to all this cool games that we saw here, we also saw a lot of other interesting and funny things here.













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.

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. I was so happy to meet a new friend that I wanted to be the first to welcome our new guest. So I opened the envelope, but it was so dark inside that I couldn’t see anything.





But then our new guest came out and we could see 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
Your Mr. Stanley

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. Look I can sit inside this bag



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.

Hello Mum.

This weekend was very special, because we were visiting Hamburg together with host mum and dad. There we planned to watch the musical Tarzan.
When we arrived at Hamburg it was already dark, so we decided to visit the Christmas market.
It was a very beautiful there. I love all this wonderful lights everywhere. Unfortunately some pictures where a little bit blurry or a bit too dark, but I hope that you could see me.

















The decoration on this house was the best, with all the different languages on it.



Tomorrow we were watching Tarzan but not it is time for us to go to bed.

See you tomorrow mum.
