San Francisco Zoo, USA - 26th January 2014
By: Ingenieurin
Hi there! Today we visited San Francisco Zoo. Marina's friend Reanna had a birthday so she invited us to have some fun at the zoo, and so we did! I saw many exotic animals - lemurs, giraffes, flamingoes, etc. We also watched the penguins feeding, Marina has recorded a video: http://youtu.be/vFU1kUuRG3w. The weather was fine at the beginning but suddenly it became windy and foggy and we all were freezing. But anyway I liked this adventure a lot, as well as my buddy HOP.

Golden Gate Bridge, USA - 23rd February 2014
By: Ingenieurin
Finally! Today my greatest dream has come true - I saw the famous Golden Gate Bridge with my own eyes! I'm so excited! Marina took a few pictures of me, and I must admit I wasn't so easy because there was much fog which hid the bridge. Marina had to be on the alert to catch the moment when the fog dispersed just for few seconds. I was freezing but it was totally worth it. Now I'm ready to travel further...

Hi there everyone! It's Fred - this time from Finland My new host Tuija got me out of the envelope and I found out that I had landed in her colourful living room, and two other TVs, Prajna and Rachel were greeting me.
I showed them the card that marina had included in the envelope and I told my new friends about the great Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco which is now over eight thousand kilometres away... It's crazy how big this globe is, really. Makes you dizzy if you think about it too much
Anyway, everything's just fine here. Thank you, Marina, for mailing me safely!
Greetings to Mommy <3
Fred

Helsinki, Finland - 21st March 2014
By: Tatterdemalion
March 21 and 22.
On our first morning in Helsinki we took off to see an exhibition about Charles Chaplin! It was very cool - lots of photographs, posters, newspaper articles and video clips from and about his life, films and career. but unfortunately we couldn't take pictures of it. Well, never mind that! In the lobby there was a huge cardboard Chaplin (actually, the famous character of his, the Tramp) and I got to pose with it
On both days we took walks (and tram rides) around the city. Here's what we saw!
Traffic... (It was quite light, though.. :P But let's not underestimate the liveliness of this place! 500,000 inhabitants may be a small amount in the world's scale but this is actually the biggest city in Finland.)
Cozy parks...
Soccer fields and runner legends...
The high tower of the Olympic Stadium
The bay of the sea with some duckies and swans
A cool exterior of a Mexican restaurant
Lovely sunshine by the market place, looking down to the passenger harbour at the other side of the bay:
The main Cathedral was quite a magnificent building!
And finally, that bottle man (again)
Hugs hugs hugs,
Fred
