Hello world!
I'm a hyperactive little pig. My name is Kunigunde, but you may call me Kuni, Gundi or Gunda for short. I detest being called "Miss Piggy". Please keep me active, I absolutely cannot stay still. I haven't ever tried Ritalin or any other drugs for my condition but who needs those when they can just use the energy to travel the world instead. |

Orthodox Easter is this Sunday, so we dye eggs today! The traditional way and the modern way!
![]() In Greece they dye them red, to symbolize the stones they were thrown to Jesus and they were painted red by his blood. No egg hunts here mom, but they have another very funny custom involving the eggs that you will see on Sunday! So here is a way to dye red eggs the traditional way! You will love it if you are into organic and biological foods! You boil water with skins from dry onions. ![]() and there you have it! Red dye! ![]() And here is how we made designs on the eggs! By placing flowers and leaves on the eggs, hold them in place with net fabric and tie the fabric with thread. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() so here is the result! not bad for a totally natural way don't you think?! ![]() Well we also used red dye from the market for others... ![]() ![]() ![]() |
vickyp Posted Apr 15, 2009, 9:18 pm |
After the eggs we had to help Vicky to make "tsoureki" A traditional sweet bread.

Well, I said hello and we talked a lot. ![]() Because we were hungry we ate a big Pizza, ![]() but it was to big for us... ![]() Then Rike took us to the playground. ![]() ![]() ![]() We had a lot of fun together. ![]() Now we will talk about our adventures.

Hello Mum,
Today we went to Hamburg, because the port has birthday. ![]() We saw a lot of nice ships. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This big cruise-ship is called Voyagers of the Seas – it should be ToyVoyagers of the Seas… ![]() These are old storehouses… ![]() And this is me in front of the townhall. ![]() We were tired and drove back home. ![]() Hugs Kuni |
RikeH Posted May 15, 2009, 3:03 pm |
We made a trip with the bike today.
The nice yellow fields are typical for Northern Germany at this time of the year. The plant is called rape we think, in German it is Raps, a funny word. ![]() ![]() Then we saw this nice maypole… ![]() …and made a rest next to a lovely lake. We all had fun together. ![]() In the evening we said good-bye to TobiHH, because he will start his trip to Finland now. ![]() |
RikeH Posted May 16, 2009, 4:28 pm |
Today was a sunny day – so I helped Rike in the garden.
First we planted some beautiful flowers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then I mowed the lawn. I am a very helpful TV !!! ![]() And I hope, that you have the same nice weather at home. |
RikeH Posted May 19, 2009, 7:51 pm |
Hi Mum,
in the afternoon we went to visit a nice castle. It was built in the years 1570-1585 and is very nice. Unfortunately we were not allowed to make photos inside, I think, they want to sell their postcards ![]() So, those are all of us on Rikes car. ![]() ![]() That is me in front of the Castle - and the bridge of the castle. ![]() ![]() Love Kunigunde |
RikeH Posted May 22, 2009, 9:38 pm |
Dear Mum,
today two new TVs arrived here. It was just the right time for them to arrive. Rike planned a nice party with many games today, because three of us will travel to our next destinations this week-end. Now it is a Farewell- and a Welcome-Party. Great ! ![]() For the Party we had two teams. I am in the team for the small TVs. ![]() First we played billiard. That is not easy….so we moved the billiard cue together. ![]() ![]() The next game was darts. We shouldn’t sit on the darts, but it is so much fun ! We all tried to have a 180, but that is not possible for a little ToyVoyager. ![]() After these sportive games, we played a game, named Ligretto. It is a very fast game and we had so much fun ! ![]() ![]() Our referee was a very funny Toy – it is called long hippo. He counted all the points from the different games and believe it or not, we are all winners. What a wonderful evening. ![]() We had a wonderful sky - can you see me in front of it? ![]() On Saturday Super Grover, Murph and Cassandra will leave us, but I am sure, that I will have a nice time with Bree, Lupus-Tigger and Penny. Yours Kunigunde |

RikeH Posted Jun 8, 2009, 6:54 pm |
Good morning from Ireland,

After that we walked through the nice garden. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On the way back we stopped in Cork for a photo of a church, then we walked through Cobh and found the nice Clock-House. ![]() ![]() Back on the ship, some girls danced the Irish dance for us. ![]() When the ship started his way to the next port, we all were out and had a nice view over Cobh. After it we saw the pool of the ship and played a round of Shuffleboard. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We had much fun together ! |
RikeH Posted Jun 9, 2009, 11:55 am |

RikeH Posted Jun 11, 2009, 11:04 am |
The day with castles
We visited two different castles – the first one is called Urquhart Castle and is a ruin. It is next to the Loch Ness, but we didn’t see the monster…. ![]() ![]() The second castle (Cawdor Castle) is not a ruin – there is still someone living in it. We were allowed to visit ii, but weren’t allowed to take pictures. So we made a few from outside and in the beautiful garden. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
RikeH Posted Jun 11, 2009, 6:10 pm |
After the nature yesterday, we went to Edinburgh, a big city!
We saw the Castle – it was so nice with the blue sky behind it! ![]() ![]() This street is called the Royal Mile. It is between the Palace and the Castle. And you see me in front of one of the many churches… ![]() ![]() When we came back on the ship, there was a nice buffet. I loved the cakes ! ![]() |
RikeH Posted Jun 13, 2009, 2:41 pm |
Now I want to show you the ship.
This is one of the lounges – called the Captain’s Club, but we didn’t see the Captain. ![]() ![]() Here we are at the moment – somewhere around Great Britain. ![]() That is the way we had to run, when there would be an alarm – and the last photo shows the way to our cabin. ![]() ![]() In the evening we went outside and took these wonderful photos ! ![]() ![]() |
RikeH Posted Jun 13, 2009, 4:22 pm |
Hi Mum,
Today is our last day on board. We had a tournament of fencing. The winner will get a cake and some sweets. It was a hard fight. ![]() Penny and I were in the final… ![]() but then we all decided, that it is much nicer to have the cake and the sweets together. ![]() ![]() ![]() After eating all these things, we went out for a last walk, because our cruise will end tomorrow. We saw a wonderful sunset – and then a beautiful sky. ![]() ![]() I really loved this cruise – can we do some together soon, Mum? Love Kuni |
RikeH Posted Jun 14, 2009, 12:23 pm |
Hi Mum,
Today is the last day for 3 of us in Sülfeld, so we watched our travel logs together. We had so much fun to see, what we have done! ![]() Then we all decided to talk all the day and the night, before some of us leave to their new hosts. So here we are sitting in front of long hippo and talked about our adventures. From the left to the right you see us all together. We are dicker Kumpel, me, ThomasHH, Slummy, Penny, Bree and Lupus-Tigger. ![]() I had a great time with RikeH and the other TVs, but now it is time to visit the next host. I will leave tomorrow and go to echo in China. Love Kuni |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Jun 27, 2009, 10:28 am |
Hi mom, you have not heard any news from me for a long time and you must be worried. Now I have arrived my new host. I have come to China!
However, it shouldn't be my first time to visit China. It is said I were born in China. So it is a little like a trip back to your birthplace. Anyway, it is a long way and takes some time. That is what I get for a welcoming gift: A WATERMELON. It tastes delicious. ![]() After that, I have a photo with all the other toys. I am the only Toy voyager. ![]() NUONUO, he is a polar bear, and he comes from Germany as well. I am very glad to know him. He is willing to teach me a bit Chinese and before I can chat with the others, he will be my interpreter. ![]() My new host, Echo, gives me a Chinese name. It is very cool, right? I am trying to remember how it is written. She tells me this name fits me because it sounds like KUNI. ![]() As I get too tired, I decide to have a good rest. This guy invites me to his house. I am sorry I can't spell his name. He is a Japanese, I think. ![]() |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Jun 29, 2009, 3:28 pm |
Hi mom, Nanjing is really hot. Echo told me that it is called one of the four hottest places in China. I have understood it!
I have a little problem in the photos, so I fail to upload the photos I have taken today. I will do it the next time. Echo asked me to say sorry to you. Last night it rained heavily and the temperature get down a little. This morning I have met a butterfly on the glass. She is sleeping so I just take a photo with her and not bother to wake her. Echo and I have spent some time discussing which place I were born. She guessed it may be another city Yanzhou. She said that city export a lot of toys every year. She have visited there and she showed me the photos. They were really excellent. Without photos it seemed a little difficult to show you exactly what I have seen here. So next time I will give you more details. In China it is 22:27, so I have to go to bed. Good night, mom. Always miss you. Yours forever Kuni. |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Jun 29, 2009, 3:52 pm |
This is the butterfly!
![]() Our lunch! Echo treated me a bottle of sprite! ![]() ![]() It got late and the sky is blue. It is really lovely. ![]() ![]() A snack, which is from Japan. It reminds me of those delicious traditional food in Greece. They looks a little alike. ![]() |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Jul 15, 2009, 3:24 pm |
Hi, mom. Long time since last time I wrote my blog. Really sorry. The link isn't very well. I have written a blog several days ago, but it failed at the last step. For the same reason, the problem of the photo hasn't been set down. We will try another place to upload those images, maybe in a net bar.
A lot of things happened. My last travel blog, which is lost, is about my help to Echo's examination. We prepare together and attend the exam together. After the exam, I help Echo with her moving. They have moved to a new dormitory, which is smaller than the previous one. I have to be resposible for all those toys since I am the one who travels most! It hasn't been completely set down. Nanjing's street is full of people! Can you imagine it? I have never seen so many people in Germany. I came across a lovely shop one day and I asked to be taken a photo. The shop is filled with cute toy bears! I will show you another day! It has been ten o'clock, of course, in China. Good night! My dear mom. Yours Forever, Kuni. |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Jul 19, 2009, 6:19 am |
I have seen the film Transformers2 in July 26. And yesterday we went to see the Harry Potter6!
This is in the subway. ![]() ![]() In addition, we have wondered in Nanjing's street. Many food tastes delicious! This is a fruit which can be only found in Taiwan Province of China. ![]() Strawberry yoghurt!o(∩_∩ ![]() ![]() Panda! But this one is only a light. Lovely, isn't it? ![]() This is the shop I have told you. ![]() |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Jul 23, 2009, 3:47 pm |
Hi, mom, you must know that the solar eclipse happening yesterday was said to be the best since six hundred years ago! But it rained heavily yesterday so I failed to see it on my own. Anyway, we watched it online.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is called "a diomond ring" in Chinese. I don't know what it is called in English. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Aug 1, 2009, 2:41 am |
We have wondered today. These are some photos we took. I think they are funny.
They are the stone statues on the street. They may be gathering to have a meeting. I suppose. ![]() Another group. In ancient China, when you have a hat like theirs, it means you are officers. ![]() Hair tied like this can always be treated as a symbol of kids. ![]() You can see this one. It is a bench. ![]() |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Aug 1, 2009, 3:02 am |
I will leave Nanjing this afternoon cause Echo is going to her home. The school summer holiday will last two months and one has already passed. Echo's home is Lanzhou, Gansu Province, which is very far away. We are supposed to take a train this afternoon and get there tomorrow.
The black line will be our routine. ![]() This is the Nanjing Railway Station. Today we'll leave. Hope it is a fine day. ![]() The Nanjing Railway Station is the opposite to the XUANWU Lake. You may cannot see it very clearly cause it rains a little. Xuanwu is a Chinese word which may be a snake and a turtle. It may has some legends, but I don't know. ![]() We walked on the square of the Station. ![]() As Echo has no website connection at home, it may be a little difficult to update my blog frequently. Please don't worry. Forever Yours KUNI. |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Aug 1, 2009, 3:13 am |
We have been to the Confucian Temp. It is a famous tourist attaction.
![]() It used to be the place where a exam was held to select youth. China is so big that they separated it into two district. The northern people could attend the exam in Beijing, while the southern ones choose Nanjing. ![]() This is a house of a rich man in ancient China. ![]() ![]() Can you see the big red and yellow lanterns behind me? Each of them has a ancient Chinese famous woman drawn on it. ![]() Two dragons play a ball. It is a typical Chinese symbol. ![]() It is called a lucky tree. Of course it is not natural. I like it very much. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Aug 1, 2009, 3:21 am |
This is Echo's school. We move here on july, 8.
![]() ![]() SHHHHHHH.......She is sleeping Kitty. Sorry to introduce her to you like this, but she never wake up. ![]() ![]() This is a.... I don't know how to say this. It is made by mixing corn with yoghurt. Echo's roommates are fond of it. So this is their supper, sometimes. ![]() |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Sep 4, 2009, 1:29 pm |
Today we went to a place called " Wu Quan Shan ", which means a mountain with five springs. In fact it is a combination of history with entertainment. There is a zoo as well.
The statue is Confucius, (551?-478? BC) Chinese philosopher and teacher who founded Confucianism. He is the most important cultural person in Chinese history. A lot of students take photos here to wish a good study performance. ![]() You can see the beautiful ridge behind me? Actually it is very high. Although this one is new, in ancient China it is drawn delicately as a tradition to show the richness and good taste. ![]() This is a big stone! I think it looks like a turtle! Don't you think so? ![]() This is a camel. You know, it is an important transportation tool in the past in the dessert. Sorry I am a little scared to stand by him. ![]() That is really a pity as we don't see the pandas. We still have a happy day. |
echo zhhong1988@126.com Posted Sep 4, 2009, 1:36 pm |
See how many grapes I have! They are very sweet! This kind of grapes is mainly produced in Xinjiang Province, the northwestern part of China.
![]() This is the magazine which reports about Toyvage and lead echo to host me. I hope to be printed as well. I hope to be a Toyvoyager star! ![]() ![]() The dream will come true if I have travelled enough places. I can't stand waiting any more. Soon I will set up to my next host in America. There will be more adverture waiting for me! |

Hi Mom!
Today I got to go on a fun fieldtrip to EPCOT. It was amazing actually being in Walt Disney World! Unfortunately, my host's camera deleted most of the pictures we took ![]() Here is me in front of Spaceship Earth. It was a really fun ride, and I even got to listen to it in German! ![]() After that we went on Mission Space! Here I am outside of it. ![]() And this is the inside! ![]() Here I am waiting to get on the Nemo Living Seas ride! ![]() Those are all the pictures that were left on my host's camera. We went on a lot more, and had funn in the World Village. I visited my homeland there, and we got to see the dinner show there!

Sheldon's Mommy Posted Apr 29, 2010, 7:50 am |
Hi Mom!
Today I got to help make some delicious tacos, with a Puerto Rican twist! First I had a yummy cookie as a treat though! ![]() Here is the special spice we used for the tacos. It's called Adobo, and is made of lots of kinds of peppers, onion powder, and some other secret ingredients. Oh, Mom, it makes the food taste really good when you use it! ![]() Here is my taco all done! I rolled it myself, can you tell? ![]() After dinner we played Mario Kart on the Wii. I lost a round, so that is when we took this picture. I won all the other times though! ![]() ![]() Then I decided to take a nap, and guess who layed down with me... my host's dog Rufus! We napped together. He is a nice dog! ![]() I am tired still, so I will go to bed. Goodnight Mom! Love, Kunigunde |

Hi Mom!
We went to a fun pool party today at my host's friend's house! I got to meet so many nice people! ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are the rules we had to follow. Some of them we broke, but don't tell! ![]() ![]() This is me doing a trick with my host and her friend Tiffanie. Can you see me on top of her head? ![]() We got a cake because my host's friend graduated his first year of EMT training. It was funny because we forgot a knife and had to cut it with a fork! ![]() ![]() We got into a frosting fight. I got some on me, but we all washed it off, so I am still good! Mom, these people sure can be crazy! ![]() I had a lot of fun at the pool party! Soon I am going to Disney World again, and I am really excited! Love, Kunigunde |

Hi mom! I have been really busy here. I went to Disney again, and here are a few pictures:
Here I am outside of Space Mountain. The flash made my color funny ![]() [img]<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/48654606@N04/4867829518/\" title="115_0311 by postcards_to_send, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4867829518_7b333a452f.jpg\" width="500" height="375" alt="115_0311" /></a>[/img] Here you can see the Cinderella Castle in the distance, lit up. It was so beautiful mom!

They have a very fun song in that ride! "There's a great big, beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day." My host taught me the words before we went, and we sang with the ride! ![]() |

Hi Mom!
Oh mom, last night there was a really big lightning storm here! The lightning was really close, and I got scared by it. My host stayed up with me and we watched her favorite show The Big Bang Theory together because we couldn't sleep. Mom, that show is so funny! The storm finally ended around 3am, so we slept very late the next day! ![]() |

Hi Mom!
Today we made some chocolate chip cookies. My host gave me the recipe to take home, isn't that great? They were chocolate chip, and use a super secret ingredient....TABASCO SAUCE! Have you ever heard of putting hot sauce in cookies, mom? I hadn't, but it did make the cookies really really good! I can't wait to make them with you when I get back home!!! Love, Kuni |

Hi Mom!
Today is was very hot, so my host took me swimming in her pool! We had a lot of fun and played a new game called Jailbreak. Then, when we got tired of swimming, we played a card game with her family. It was called ERS, and very fun! We used Florida Gators cards because that is the college sports team my host likes! They have a cool mascot! Love, Kuni |

Hi Mom!
Today has been a very lazy day. The air conditioning is broken in my host's house, and it is very hot. I hope that it rains so we can cool down some! I have been helping my host do some of her college work on the internet. She is taking lots of classes, and I wanted to see what college is like. Mom, it is a lot of work for her, but we had fun while I helped! My host says that soon she will have an End of School party, and that I get to stay for it. I've never been to one, so hopefully it will be very fun! Love, Kuni |

Hi Mom!
Today we went to my host's friend's house to watch a UFC Championship Fight. It was very interesting! There were a lot of people there, so there was also a lot of alcohol too. Here I am with an Elvis wine glass full of Sangria. I didn't drink any because they said I was too little.... ![]() Before the fight started we played lots of games. We played foosball with some of the guys and us girls won! ![]() Then we played a big game of charades called Guesstures. It was really fun, and the way some clues were acted was really funny! ![]() ![]() After that I helped my host's uncle Harvey fix his car. Do you see me there? ![]() The flash of my host's camera made me look white! ![]() ![]() The fight was really fun to watch!!! There were so many people screaming and shouting about who they wanted to win, Mom, I could barely hear anything on the tv!!! It was over really fast, and I don't remember who won. Oh well.... I liked the excitement in the air, and it was really fun! ![]() ![]() Oh, Mom, I just got wonderful news! I am going to Chicago for three weeks! I've never been there and my host is taking me as a special surprise! I'm sooo exited!!!! I'll take lots of pictures to show you when we return, but now I have to go pack. Love, Kuni |
