Kangar, Malaysia - 6th May 2008
By: aliah
When I try to figure out where exactly I am, I realised that I'm now in Malaysia. It's in another part of the globe, far away from home.
Wow~ what a surprise!
I was told, they speak Malay language here.
No wonder I can't understand anything while I was in the envelope.

Melaka, Malaysia - 26th May 2008
By: aliah
We go to Melaka after lunch. Since Yul has visited it before, he shows us around the city. Yul told us tha Melaka is Malaysia's historical city. So you can see Chinese, Malay, Dutch & Portuguese architecture around here.

Porta de Santiago, Malaysia - 26th May 2008
By: aliah
This prominent landmark almost synonymous with Melaka, was a fortress built by the Portuguese admiral, Alfonso d' Albuquerque in 1511. It was badly damaged during the Dutch invasion in 1641. Timely intervention by Sir Stamford Raffles, a British official, in 1808 saved what remains of the A'Famosa today.

Christ Church, Malaysia - 26th May 2008
By: aliah
This church is the testimony to Dutch architectural ingenuity. Interesting features include the church's handmade pews, ceiling beams (constructed without joints), brass bible, tombstone and 'The Last Supper' in glazed tiles.
and this is all my journey in Malaysia.
Terima kasih (thanks)

Remscheid, Germany - 11th June 2008
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
I arrived in Germany today, actually yesterday, but nobody was at home to sign the receipt. So the postman took the envelope with me inside back to the post office where my new host Katja had to pick me up, but soonest today.
When we arrived at her home she laughed and said: "Two ToyVoyagers!" Two? I was travelling alone. I heard the ripping of paper and she welcomed somebody who's name is Desmond. Hey, I'm Aquila, not Desmond!
But then my envelope was opened and she helped me out. I saw three ToyVoyagers sitting there! Bertie the duck, a little owl named Percy and a larger owl named Desmond. I was very happy to get out of the envelope.
Katja wanted to take a walk with a friend. So she took us with her. In front of the house we waited for her friend to arrive. We were sitting on a wall, you can see the front door in the background. The house I am now living in is an art-nouveau-house, built in 1904 A.D.
We walked along the "route of tools", a lane for pedestrians and biker, built on a closed railroad bed. It was sponsored by the local industry. Along the lane you can find many signs of those companies.
The first sign that we saw is showing the crest of Remscheid.
Later we rested on a bench that was made of a huge screw clamp.
We went into a wooded area. Although Remscheid seems to be an industrial town you can see many trees, valleys and wooded areas.
We walked through the muncipal park on our way back home. Beautiful flowers are blooming here.
We also saw a playground, this sign says that animals are not allowed to enter this area. Is this equally valid for eagles?
I'm going to play a little bit with my new friends now.
Bye
Aquila
