Travelog for: Mousy Mouse

Hi there,

This is me, Mousy Mouse. My "mommy" Amber has chosen me to explore the world for her and it will be my task to tell and show her everything about other countries and cultures.
I'm really excited to start my journey soon and I'm looking forward to meet other people and toys

This is me with some antique. Amber's daddy loves Chinese antique.

I had a little farwell party today.

First we had lunch, sweet and sour soup, and fried dumplings...I love it



Then we went by car to Taipei to go to the CKS Memorial Hall



After that we drove to Yongkan Park for a delicious ice cream at "Monster Ice"



Wow...I was so full at the end of the day, because I ate a lot

I've been told that I'll start my journey today. I'm so excited to leave today. I'm traveling light, so I didn't pack a lot of things.

I'm leaving today for Ireland.......here I come !

My stay in Ireland was great. Unfortunately my host wasn't able to upload the pictures on my site, so she has sent then all to Andrea and....here they are:

Part 2

These pictures are great, aren't they? I'm sure that Amber will love them and I already have so many things to tell her, but...this is just the start of my (hopefully) long journey.

Meg will mail me this week and I'll be on my way to Japan  .

I finally arrived at Yumi's home safely!!

As soon as the box I was put in was open, I met JamaBana, Jan, FoxForce and Tokio.
They asked me a lot of questions.
Are you a mouse or a dog?
Where did you come from?
Where have you ever been to? and so on...
I enjoyed talking with them.

Yumi is making a couple of teddy bears for her friend's wedding now.

I helped her today. I sewed a vest for a bridegroom bear.

Then I met a cat called Coo.
You know mice hate cats...but Coo was a nice cat. I liked him.

When I was talking to him, he slept.
I also slept with him.

I was lucky because Yumi took me a weekend trip to Okayama.

When I was taking a train, I saw a lake. Yumi told me the lake is called Biwa lake and  is the biggest in Japan.

After I changed trains three times, I arrived in Okayama.

I visited Kurashiki (the name of city) Some old houses and sheds with black tiles and white walls are conserved along Kurashiki river.

When I was walking along the river, I found a building which has the look of a Greek temple.
It was a museum.

I saw newlyweds who were carrying by a Jinrikisha.
I thought the bride was a Japanese but the bridegroom was non-Japanese.

Then, I saw a man who were painting a picture along the river.

Then I visited Ivy Square where was used as a spinning factory.
The buiding contructed in 1889. It is built with red blocks and is covered with a lot of ivy.
When I visited there, a few waiters were arranging for a party at a courtyard.

In the evening, I visited Kurashiki Tivoli Park.

First, I went to see Tivoli Tower. The tower was illuminated when I was watching.
