Göttingen, Germany - 29th March 2011

By: SarahF

I soon felt really comfortable in this flat with my new roommate. She said I should feel and act like home, so I started to explore a bit.

First, I had some capucchino, which was really necessary after this exciting briefing and the eventful evening. I did not fail to notice that my host seems to be a bit on the chaotic side of life, but she assured me that the chaos on her desk was only due to her being so busy. However, I didn't mind - more to discover for me, then!

We discussed my plans during the coffee break and got carried away by all those fantastic possibilities! But we came to the conclusion that it would be a good start to pick about 5 missions that I should aim to complete.
Being interested in russian culture and country, my host proposed me to be send to Russia one day. I would really like to do that! I once heared of the Red Square and thus, point 1 was settled: I wish to visit it some day!
Another idea was formed while reading other toy voyager's blogs in preparation of my mission: I wish to see the Chinese Wall one day! My host supported this idea. She suggested to visit Angkor Wat instead, but since this probably won't be so frequented as the Chinese Wall, the latter one is perhaps easier to achieve. Who knows, maybe I can see both?

We pondered about other monuments - then my host remembered an episode of the Simpsons where they stood on a place connecting 5 different states of the USA. We googled, but we didn't find this spot (it seems it was made up, so I allready learned something today!) but another one called "Four Corners Monument". I wish to set foot there someday!

Acquiring knowledge being my mission and all, I decided that it would be a good idea to do some sociological field research about cultural habits and customs. My choice fell on the study of a Singaporean shopping mall and I give my oath that it is just a coincidence that you can have lots of fun going shopping and relaxing there, too. It is the same scientific drive that motivates me to try one of the famous English Breakfasts once. Well, I admit that I would probably also have lots of fun to do so. :)

After this long evening of discussions, my host noticed that I could hardly see a thing. They don't hire hairdressers at the shop I came from, so my hairdo might have gone a bit wild during the months of living on a shelf. This is why I got a haircut:

How bright the light, how intense the colours! I admit, it might have been good time to do so and I guess it might even prevent the bumping into things and tripping over unexpected hindrances that accumulated during the last weeks.

While we stored the scissors back to where they came from, I chose to start packing for my trips! First I need  something to brush my teeth, so I can keep on smiling broadly for the camera!

Hmm, these might be a bit too huge for me, regarding my little arms. But look how glossy my eyes shine, now that they aren't covered anymore! :)

I decided to take a bit of toothpaste with me instead. I'm sure I'll find a little brush somewhere, too. I somehow like the toothpaste, it has lots of green in it!

Prepared like this, I went to bed soon. I dreamed of all the exciting places I will visit.
These were very nice dreams and maybe they will come true soon.
