Hi everybody,
I was purchased straight out of a duty free shop in Beijing International Airport. I am so happy now I have a mum and even better I am a toy voyager. Yeah!
This is me.

The 3 of us flew from Beijing to Pyongyang the same day. Here lives Mr. P. Protea's husband. First I was scared to meet him, mummy said he might think she is already too much involved with postcrossing. But my view made him smile and he welcomed me and Pauli as well.
Pauli is a little St. Bernard Dog, mummy is hosting right now. This is nice as I am not just by myself.
This is us 2 on Mr. P's terrasse

Protea was taken out for a trip to Kaesong and we were aloud to join her. The Historic Monuments and Sites in Kaesong is newly inscribed in the UNESCO WHS in 2013 and consist of 12 separate components. This is the entrance to the Mausoleum of King Wang Kon.
Unfortunate the weather was very foggy. Can you see us?

Here we are at Koryo Songgyungwan (a former high state education institute which educated Koryo national officials). It was full of beautiful houses and 1000 years old trees. Mummy tried to take pictures of us in the trees, but we were invisible. So she put us here instead

Mr P. was driving very fast and Pauli and me slipped to the other side. That was fun.

Still far away in front of us you see the main train station. Before we got any closer we took a turn.

Finally we reached our destination. The official Stamp and Postcard Shop. Yes. The shopkeepers were very kind and mum was allowed to take a general picture. There were a lot of stamps, booklets and postcards.

Back at home mum wanted to write a few postcards to her Postcrossing friends. We got bored and took off to explore the flat. Look what Pauli and me found, mum's paint. Here I tried to colour Paulis nose red. But mum was not pleased at all.

It didn't take long and we had other things on our mind, again! So we really messed up mum's postcards.

That was too much for her and she found this little thing for us. She calls it playpen, I call it cage.
