on the plane, n/a - 18th December 2009
By: vivyanhui
Dear Vi,
I am still on my way to USA, here on the plane is very board....
And it's very dark in the box that I cant took any photo.
Hope the plane will land very soon, lying in the box for such long period made me so tired and wanna run on the grass to exercise a bit!
Tell you more when I arrive.
With love,
Regit Brown (inside the box!)

Oak Lawn, IL, USA - 19th December 2009

Dear Vivyan,
I arrived in the USA today. My new host was so excited, she began taking pictures as soon as I climbed out of my box!
Immediately, I was introduced to all of my new friends that I can play with during my stay here. A large pack of wolves lives here, but they are very friendly towards me.
Then, I was taken on a tour of my host's home. First she showed me her tiny Christmas tree..
..Before we went outside. It was snowing today! I loved to run around and play in the snow, but quickly it got very cold.
Later on at night, we went outside again to see the Christmas decorations while they were lit up.
I met a glowing reindeer... he moved his head up and down, but he didn't say much.
When we came in, I added a new entry to my Passport before I settled in for the night.
My American host says that we are going to go down town to Chicago to have fun in a few days. I can't wait!
Love,
Regit Brown

Chicago, IL, USA - 22nd December 2009
By: WolfGrapes
Tonight we went down town in Chicago for the first time. It was so cold and windy!!
It was all worth it, though, when we got there. We went to a market / festival called Christkindlmarket Chicago.
Christkindlmarket is an annual event in Chicago that takes place every Christmastime. Many people from Germany come here to sell Christmas ornaments, toys, decorations, clothes, jewelry, wooden carvings, and many more things.
It is at Chicago Daley Plaza, where there is a very large Christmas tree.
There was also a famous Nativity scene there that has been displayed in Chicago every year since 1985. I learned that this is very important to religious people in Chicago.
There were all kinds of food there, like sausages, potato pancakes, waffles, German chocolate, sweet cakes, powdered sugar doughnuts, schnitzel, traditional German soups, and more.
In the middle of Daley Plaza is the huge Chicago Picasso sculpture. It was commissioned for Pablo Picasso to create in 1963 and has been here since 1967.
At the market, there was a stall full of hand-carved wood sculptures from Germany. There were bears, cats, snails, dragons, lizards, and many other wooden animals. My host bought an European dragon and I met him when we got "home".
Christkindlmarket was fun but I'm happy to be warm again!

On somewhat of a rainy summer day, I have arrived safe and sound in Australia!! It's a bit different than I thought...seeing that Australia is well known for it's scorching summers, and I emmerged in cold weather! But I'm sure there is plenty of hot weather to come!!!
I can't wait to see the Hunter Valley, which is well known for it's vineyards!
