berlin, home, germany - 19th November 2011
By: orangesunshine
hello folks.
my name is napoleon. i am a small blue elephant. (don't tell your psychiatrist you have seen one. he might act strange ...)
i have around 43 g which equals more than 1.5 oz. my height is about 10 cm (3.9 in) depending on what hat i wear.
i do not fit quite well into a coffee mug. i have also tried stars and stripes: no way.
i cannot be wrapped into a dollar bill. everyone knows the size of a dollar bill, so i decided to compare my size with one of those.
here my uncle (left, larger) shows me (right, smaller), where he has been, and how the food and the beer was over there.
my uncle is a very nice guy. we like to play games, such as scrabble, very much. we are good friends. it's great to have him as my uncle.
sometimes we go on an excursion. here you see us in our "pool position".
today we have made an autumn walk to see the swans, geese and ducks in one of our lakes.
as always we have had a tasty snack. my uncle said "i always like november in november". a very good motto for today.
with my drink i needed some help. but, hey, what are uncles there for?
on our way home he asked me to pose in front of the real big ICC (international conference centre) ...
... and funkturm (radio tower). just to show everybody, that i am able to stand on my own
time to go home. uuurgh - i hate riding in reverse.
this much of me for today. bye bye, hasta luego.

"ciao napoleon"
my friends were really nice: each of them has given me some sweets ... but you know, i can't eat while on the way ...
my uncle told me not be afraid. better be curious! little rabbit said, he is afraid, as always. i.c. bear wished to go with me and play in the snow - funny boy, i am not going to the north pole. little bear has given me his chocolat santa. even count mount bat'n joined in and waved good-bye ...
it feels so good to have such friends!
bye bye everybody ... see you!

Lichtenfels, Bavaria, Germany - 10th January 2012
By: Yosemite
Hi Daddy, hi uncle, hi all folks at home!
I savely arrived at my hostfamily in Lichtenfels now.
My packet was carried in by a few little figurs, I didn´t know what´s going on. But I hoped, it will be good
Then I heard that somebody scraped at my packet. And soon I saw a pecker. A big pecker!
It was the pecker of a penguin. Then I saw more curious creatures! All TVs that live here!
I climbed out of the box and at first I gave every TV a present. I had one present to much. That was for me
I think I will like my time here, no worry!
Have a good evening!
Love you, your Napoleon

Hostmum´s work, Zapfendorf, Germany - 13th January 2012
By: Yosemite
Hey Daddy!
What a great day! My hostmum wake me early in the morning. Then we went to work by train. She showed me the kitchen where she works. It is a really big kitchen with a big oven!
As hostmum promised me, I was allowed to help her with the cake. We decided to bake a cheesecake. I cutted the butter for the dough. I was astonished, that the eggs are in a package, we call "tetrapack". Which henns do that????
Then the machine mixed the dough. I was allowed to mix the cheese mass. Very exhausting, but hostmum helped me. To put the dough into the mold was my next job. Because of the hygienic I had to wear gloves 4 pieces!!!
Wow, this will be a big cheesecake!
When we finished we had to wait, to wait, to wait....
Ready! I am so hungry! But histmum said, we had to wait until the cake is cooled
We made another job the time. Put curd in bowles and put parsley on. Great job for someone in my size!
Finally! I was allowed to taste the cake, MY CAKE!!!
What a big piece! I think I will not get it! There is no place in the little Napoleon for the last crumb.
But ist was soooooooooooooo yummie!!!
Love you, dad!
