Heyho world,

here we come. My brothers and me decided to start our travels now. My name is CrazyEye and my brothers are CrazyFace and CrazySmile. We all life in the house of BlackCat with some other toy voyagers. And now we finally decided to start as well.

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x377/toyvoyagersfriend/2011/February/06/tv_97.jpg

We are not normal toy voyagers that everyone can host. We are especially for Newbies. We saw that a lot of Newbies have problems with finding a toy to host before they posted some pictures. And we understand that. But that’s the reason why we wanted to start travelling.

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x377/toyvoyagersfriend/2011/February/06/tv_103.jpg

We want to give Newbies a chance of showing what they can do. So if you are a Newbie and don’t have another toy to host, yet, then write our mum BlackCat. And be sure to have us as a visitor.

We are small and not heavy. We don’t know the exact numbers until now, but you will find it in our profile as soon as mum found out how much we weight and how small we are. You can sure send us in a normal envelope, so no need for big postage.

All the other stuff you need to know you will get to know from our mum. Just write her and she will help you!

Byebye!!!!

Today I was walking around in the flat and looked at all the things I found. In front of a big cage I made a break and watched the budgies of my mum.

She has 6 colourful budgies who are really cute. I was watching them for a while and made a picture.

Hi mom!

I arrived today, and met with Koori here :) But we only had time to talk a little, because we have bags to pack...

Apparently, we are leaving tomorrow for a few days in New York! I guess I got here right on time O.o !!!!

Talk to you soon, now I'll go and help get everything ready :)

Love,

Hi Mom!

Getting to New York takes a long time! Well... not as long as it took me to get to Canada, but still! We left Montreal at about 10:00am, and finally got in New York at around 5:00pm, that was 7 hours in the car!!!

Of course, we stopped on the way once or twice, but when we finally got there, I was ready to walk all night long!!! Or at least, anything but sitting again  :thinking:

Did you know that New York was so HUGE?! I was afraid to get lost, but thankfully Isabelle took great care of me :)

Hi mom, me again!

Today was asian day here... we had a walk around chinatown, and then, went to have lunch in koreatown!

It was funny, really, because koreatown is more like one street... but the fook was great!!!!! We went to a korean BBQ, and they had those tiny tiny fishes... they smelled a lot, but at least they were the perfect size for me :p

And then later, we went to a restaurant called Ninja for dinner. It was nice, with lots of great food! But weird a little too... you will see in the last picture the sushi we ate there. Well, the 4th one (white), it was squid!!! Also, did you know the waiters there, they actually go through a ninja formation, so they are all real ninjas :o!!! But, they really don't like to be taken in pictures, apparently... or maybe they just say that because otherwise they move faster than us with our cameras, I don't know :)

Do you know Gordon Ramsey?

He's a reknown chef, mom, and we ate at his restaurant tonight!!! It's called The Maze, and it's at The London NYC (hotel).

Food was awesome!!!!! And... we got a tour of the kichen too!!! But, no pictures taken there to show you, but it was really impressive :)

I think this is turning into a "eat and then walk it off" trip, because that's all we do!!! Not that I'm complaining  B)

Today, we walked Soho and Little Italy, and tomorrow, we are going to cross Central Park, should be nice!

Hi mom!!!

Central Park is so big!!!! We walked, and walked, and walked, and wal... well, we walked A LOT !!!

But it was very nice too! Hopefully I can go again during the summer, when the trees are full! Or better yet, in fall, so the leaves are all really colorfull  :stare:

So after spending the whole afternoon there, we went and had a small drink, as it was our last night... I am gonna miss this place, really! But hey, after that, I will get to know more about my host's town, so it will be great still :) I'll guess I'll just miss those flashy lights from Times Square ;)

Talk to you soon!!!

Hi mom!

Yesterday Clarence arrived here, and he got here right on time, since this weekend Isabelle was at a winter camp with her scouts and we left only one hour after we greeted him...

We only just got back, and Koori, Clarence and I had so much fun!!!! But let me tell you, this week end was exhausting ;)

Talk to you soon!

Hi Mom!!!

Isabelle took Clarence and I to a professional hockey game tonight, that was exciting!!!

The Montreal Canadiens were going up against the Washington Capitals, but unfortunately, Montreal lost. Isabelle said it is not surprising since they didn't really play well today. Usually they are much better, and they did win their last 6 games...

Hope I get to go to another one again... one where the home team wins :) But they say Montreal is the best, because hockey here is like football in Spain and Germany...

Also, Isabelle said we are going to Quebec city this weekend... there is an event happening there on Saturday, it is called the Red Bull Crashed Ice. I didn't even know they had bulls here!!! When I told Isabelle that, she just laughed, and then explained that Red Bull is the company that organises the event. Oh well... I guess I'll see what it's all about soon enough!

I'll tell you about it when we come back!

Love you!

HEY MOM! HERE I AM!!!

I have had a real good travel to Weilburg.

When I reached my hodt, I thought I'll become a heart attack.
There was a mouse nibbling my cover!
I thought she would eat me.
But she was so curious about my visit, she couldn't wait to see me... :D

And...there was another cover reaching right with me.

The little mouse and I have help Glacy to get out of it.

Now we are three TV's and I can't wait, what we will experience!

Hey Mom!

Glacy,the penguin, is soooo :o big, she can carry me under her arm!

There is a lot to explore at my new host! Noisy is not only the name of my host-mom, but of her dog, too! Noisy, the dog is very cute - but not interested in  cuttling with us. So we let her sleep.

My new friends and I have watched a map of Weilburg. I don't know, which attraction we will vistit first. But it doesn't matter, they all would be great!

Tomorrow we want to help at the cowshed!!!

Now I want to go to bed, I'm very tired of all the new impressions.

Sleep well and don't be worried, it is all fine!

Yours

We read the fairy of The Fir Tree. That is a looong fairy and we cuddled on the sofa. But now read it yourself:

Out in the woods stood a nice little Fir Tree. The place he had was a very good one: the sun shone on him: as to fresh air, there was enough of that, and round him grew many large-sized comrades, pines as well as firs. But the little Fir wanted so very much to be a grown-up tree. He did not think of the warm sun and of the fresh air; he did not care for the little cottage children that ran about and prattled when they were in the woods looking for wild-strawberries. The children often came with a whole pitcher full of berries, or a long row of them threaded on a straw, and sat down near the young tree and said, "Oh, how pretty he is! What a nice little fir!" But this was what the Tree could not bear to hear.
 

At the end of a year he had shot up a good deal, and after another year he was another long bit taller; for with fir trees one can always tell by the shoots how many years old they are.

"Oh! Were I but such a high tree as the others are," sighed he. "Then I should be able to spread out my branches, and with the tops to look into the wide world! Then would the birds build nests among my branches: and when there was a breeze, I could bend with as much stateliness as the others!" Neither the sunbeams, nor the birds, nor the red clouds which morning and evening sailed above him, gave the little tree any pleasure.
 

In winter, when the snow lay glittering on the ground, a hare would often come leaping along, and jump right over the little Tree. Oh, that made him so angry! But two winters were past, and in the third the Tree was so large that the hare was obliged to go round it. "To grow and grow, to get older and be tall," thought the Tree, "that, after all, is the most delightful thing in the world!"

In autumn the wood-cutters always came and felled some of the largest trees. This happened every year; and the young Fir Tree, that had now grown to a very comely size, trembled at the sight; for the magnificent great trees fell to the earth with noise and cracking, the branches were lopped off, and the trees looked long and bare; they were hardly to be recognised; and then they were laid in carts, and the horses dragged them out of the wood.
Where did they go to? What became of them?
In spring, when the swallows and the storks came, the Tree asked them, "Don't you know where they have been taken? Have you not met them anywhere?"

The swallows did not know anything about it; but the Stork looked musing, nodded his head, and said, "Yes; I think I know; I met many ships as I was flying hither from Egypt; on the ships were magnificent masts, and I venture to assert that it was they that smelt so of fir. I may congratulate you, for they lifted themselves on high most majestically!"
"Oh, were I but old enough to fly across the sea! But how does the sea look in reality? What is it like?"
 

"That would take a long time to explain," said the Stork, and with these words off he went. "Rejoice in thy growth!" said the Sunbeams. "Rejoice in thy vigorous growth, and in the fresh life that moveth within thee!"

And the Wind kissed the Tree, and the Dew wept tears over him; but the Fir understood it not.

When Christmas came, quite young trees were cut down: trees which often were not even as large or of the same age as this Fir Tree, who could never rest, but always wanted to be off. These young trees, and they were always the finest looking, retained their branches; they were laid on carts, and the horses drew them out of the wood.
 

"Where are they going to?" asked the Fir. "They are not taller than I; there was one indeed that was considerably shorter; and why do they retain all their branches? Whither are they taken?"
"We know! We know!" chirped the Sparrows. "We have peeped in at the windows in the town below! We know whither they are taken! The greatest splendour and the greatest magnificence one can imagine await them. We peeped through the windows, and saw them planted in the middle of the warm room and ornamented with the most splendid things, with gilded apples, with gingerbread, with toys, and many hundred lights!
"And then?" asked the Fir Tree, trembling in every bough. "And then? What happens then?"
"We did not see anything more: it was incomparably beautiful."
 

"I would fain know if I am destined for so glorious a career," cried the Tree, rejoicing. "That is still better than to cross the sea! What a longing do I suffer! Were Christmas but come! I am now tall, and my branches spread like the others that were carried off last year! Oh! were I but already on the cart! Were I in the warm room with all the splendour and magnificence! Yes; then something better, something still grander, will surely follow, or wherefore should they thus ornament me? Something better, something still grander must follow, but what? Oh, how I long, how I suffer! I do not know myself what is the matter with me!"
"Rejoice in our presence!" said the Air and the Sunlight. "Rejoice in thy own fresh youth!"
 

But the Tree did not rejoice at all; he grew and grew, and was green both winter and summer. People that saw him said, "What a fine tree!" and towards Christmas he was one of the first that was cut down. The axe struck deep into the very pith; the Tree fell to the earth with a sigh; he felt a pang, it was like a swoon; he could not think of happiness, for he was sorrowful at being separated from his home, from the place where he had sprung up. He well knew that he should never see his dear old comrades, the little bushes and flowers around him, anymore; perhaps not even the birds! The departure was not at all agreeable.
 

The Tree only came to himself when he was unloaded in a court-yard with the other trees, and heard a man say, "That one is splendid! We don't want the others." Then two servants came in rich livery and carried the Fir Tree into a large and splendid drawing-room. Portraits were hanging on the walls, and near the white porcelain stove stood two large Chinese vases with lions on the covers. There, too, were large easy-chairs, silken sofas, large tables full of picture-books and full of toys, worth hundreds and hundreds of crowns, at least the children said so. And the Fir Tree was stuck upright in a cask that was filled with sand; but no one could see that it was a cask, for green cloth was hung all round it, and it stood on a large gaily-coloured carpet. Oh! how the Tree quivered! What was to happen?
The servants, as well as the young ladies, decorated it. On one branch there hung little nets cut out of coloured paper, and each net was filled with sugarplums; and among the other boughs gilded apples and walnuts were suspended, looking as though they had grown there, and little blue and white tapers were placed among the leaves. Dolls that looked for all the world like men, the Tree had never beheld such before, were seen among the foliage, and at the very top a large star of gold tinsel was fixed. It was really splendid, beyond description splendid.
 

"This evening!" they all said. "How it will shine this evening!", and they were very excited.
"Oh!" thought the Tree. "If the evening were but come! If the tapers were but lighted! And then I wonder what will happen! Perhaps the other trees from the forest will come to look at me! Perhaps the sparrows will beat against the windowpanes! I wonder if I shall take root here, and winter and summer stand covered with ornaments!"
He knew very much about the matter, but he was so impatient that for sheer longing he got a pain in his back, and this with trees is the same thing as a headache with us.
 

The candles were now lighted, what brightness! What splendour! The Tree trembled so in every bough that one of the tapers set fire to the foliage. It blazed up famously.
"Help! Help!" cried the young ladies, and they quickly put out the fire.
Now the Tree did not even dare tremble. What a state he was in! He was so uneasy lest he should lose something of his splendour, that he was quite bewildered amidst the glare and brightness; when suddenly both folding-doors opened and a troop of children rushed in as if they would upset the Tree. The older persons followed quietly; the little ones stood quite still. But it was only for a moment; then they shouted that the whole place re-echoed with their rejoicing; they danced round the Tree, and one present after the other was pulled off.
 

"What are they about?" thought the Tree. "What is to happen now!" And the lights burned down to the very branches, and as they burned down they were put out one after the other, and then the children had permission to plunder the Tree. So they fell upon it with such violence that all its branches cracked; if it had not been fixed firmly in the ground, it would certainly have tumbled down. The children danced about with their beautiful playthings; no one looked at the Tree except the old nurse, who peeped between the branches; but it was only to see if there was a fig or an apple left that had been forgotten.
 

"A story! A story!" cried the children, drawing a little fat man towards the Tree. He seated himself under it and said, "Now we are in the shade, and the Tree can listen too. But I shall tell only one story. Now which will you have; that about Ivedy-Avedy, or about Humpy-Dumpy, who tumbled downstairs, and yet after all came to the throne and married the princess?" "Ivedy-Avedy," cried some; "Humpy-Dumpy," cried the others. There was such a bawling and screaming, the Fir Tree alone was silent, and he thought to himself, "Am I not to bawl with the rest? Am I to do nothing whatever?" for he was one of the company, and had done what he had to do.
 

And the man told about Humpy-Dumpy that tumbled down, who notwithstanding came to the throne, and at last married the princess. And the children clapped their hands, and cried. "Oh, go on! Do go on!" They wanted to hear about Ivedy-Avedy too, but the little man only told them about Humpy-Dumpy. The Fir Tree stood quite still and absorbed in thought; the birds in the wood had never related the like of this. "Humpy-Dumpy fell downstairs, and yet he married the princess! Yes, yes! That's the way of the world!" thought the Fir Tree, and believed it all, because the man who told the story was so good-looking. "Well, well! who knows, perhaps I may fall downstairs, too, and get a princess as wife! And he looked forward with joy to the morrow, when he hoped to be decked out again with lights, playthings, fruits, and tinsel.
 

"I won't tremble to-morrow!" thought the Fir Tree. "I will enjoy to the full all my splendour! To-morrow I shall hear again the story of Humpy-Dumpy, and perhaps that of Ivedy-Avedy too." And the whole night the Tree stood still and in deep thought.

 

In the morning the servant and the housemaid came in.
"Now then the splendour will begin again," thought the Fir. But they dragged him out of the room, and up the stairs into the loft: and here, in a dark corner, where no daylight could enter, they left him. "What's the meaning of this?" thought the Tree. "What am I to do here? What shall I hear now, I wonder?" And he leaned against the wall lost in reverie. Time enough had he too for his reflections; for days and nights passed on, and nobody came up; and when at last somebody did come, it was only to put some great trunks in a corner, out of the way. There stood the Tree quite hidden; it seemed as if he had been entirely forgotten.
 

"'Tis now winter out-of-doors!" thought the Tree. "The earth is hard and covered with snow; men cannot plant me now, and therefore I have been put up here under shelter till the spring-time comes! How thoughtful that is! How kind man is, after all! If it only were not so dark here, and so terribly lonely! Not even a hare! And out in the woods it was so pleasant, when the snow was on the ground, and the hare leaped by; yes, even when he jumped over me; but I did not like it then! It is really terribly lonely here!"
   

"Squeak! Squeak!" said a little Mouse, at the same moment, peeping out of his hole. And then another little one came. They snuffed about the Fir Tree, and rustled among the branches.
"It is dreadfully cold," said the Mouse. "But for that, it would be delightful here, old Fir, wouldn't it?"
"I am by no means old," said the Fir Tree. "There's many a one considerably older than I am."
 

"Where do you come from," asked the Mice; "and what can you do?" They were so extremely curious. "Tell us about the most beautiful spot on the earth. Have you never been there? Were you never in the larder, where cheeses lie on the shelves, and hams hang from above; where one dances about on tallow candles: that place where one enters lean, and comes out again fat and portly?" "I know no such place," said the Tree. "But I know the wood, where the sun shines and where the little birds sing." And then he told all about his youth; and the little Mice had never heard the like before; and they listened and said, "Well, to be sure! How much you have seen! How happy you must have been!"
 

"I!" said the Fir Tree, thinking over what he had himself related. "Yes, in reality those were happy times." And then he told about Christmas-eve, when he was decked out with cakes and candles.
"Oh," said the little Mice, "how fortunate you have been, old Fir Tree!"
"I am by no means old," said he. "I came from the wood this winter; I am in my prime, and am only rather short for my age."
 

"What delightful stories you know," said the Mice: and the next night they came with four other little Mice, who were to hear what the Tree recounted: and the more he related, the more he remembered himself; and it appeared as if those times had really been happy times. "But they may still come, they may still come! Humpy-Dumpy fell downstairs, and yet he got a princess!" and he thought at the moment of a nice little Birch Tree growing out in the woods: to the Fir, that would be a real charming princess.
 

"Who is Humpy-Dumpy?" asked the Mice. So then the Fir Tree told the whole fairy tale, for he could remember every single word of it; and the little Mice jumped for joy up to the very top of the Tree. Next night two more Mice came, and on Sunday two Rats even; but they said the stories were not interesting, which vexed the little Mice; and they, too, now began to think them not so very amusing either.
 

"Do you know only one story?" asked the Rats. "Only that one," answered the Tree. "I heard it on my happiest evening; but I did not then know how happy I was."
"It is a very stupid story! Don't you know one about bacon and tallow candles? Can't you tell any larder stories?"
"No," said the Tree.
"Then good-bye," said the Rats; and they went home. At last the little Mice stayed away also; and the Tree sighed: "After all, it was very pleasant when the sleek little Mice sat round me, and listened to what I told them. Now that too is over. But I will take good care to enjoy myself when I am brought out again."
 

But when was that to be? Why, one morning there came a quantity of people and set to work in the loft. The trunks were moved, the tree was pulled out and thrown, rather hard, it is true, down on the floor, but a man drew him towards the stairs, where the daylight shone. "Now a merry life will begin again," thought the Tree. He felt the fresh air, the first sunbeam, and now he was out in the courtyard. All passed so quickly, there was so much going on around him, the Tree quite forgot to look to himself.
 

The court adjoined a garden, and all was in flower; the roses hung so fresh and odorous over the balustrade, the lindens were in blossom, the Swallows flew by, and said, "Quirre-vit! My husband is come!" but it was not the Fir Tree that they meant.
 

"Now, then, I shall really enjoy life," said he exultingly, and spread out his branches; but, alas, they were all withered and yellow! It was in a corner that he lay, among weeds and nettles. The golden star of tinsel was still on the top of the Tree, and glittered in the sunshine. In the court-yard some of the merry children were playing who had danced at Christmas round the Fir Tree, and were so glad at the sight of him. One of the youngest ran and tore off the golden star. "Only look what is still on the ugly old Christmas tree!" said he, trampling on the branches, so that they all cracked beneath his feet.
 

And the Tree beheld all the beauty of the flowers, and the freshness in the garden; he beheld himself, and wished he had remained in his dark corner in the loft; he thought of his first youth in the wood, of the merry Christmas-eve, and of the little Mice who had listened with so much pleasure to the story of Humpy-Dumpy.
"'Tis over, 'tis past!" said the poor Tree. "Had I but rejoiced when I had reason to do so! But now 'tis past, 'tis past!"
 

And the gardener's boy chopped the Tree into small pieces; there was a whole heap lying there. The wood flamed up splendidly under the large brewing copper, and it sighed so deeply! Each sigh was like a shot. And the children, who played nearby came, looked into the fire and cried: Piff, paff! And with every bang, which was a deep sigh, thought the tree of the summer evenings in the forest or of the winter night outside, when the stars were glittering; he thought of the Christmas evening and of Humpy-Dumpy, the only fairy tale he know to tell - and then the Tree was burned.
The boys played about in the court, and the youngest wore the gold star on his breast which the Tree had had on the happiest evening of his life. However, that was over now, the Tree gone, the story at an end. All, all was over, every tale must end at last.

The end

The decoration was very nice, too. Just look at the Christmas circus or the big Christmas tree.

It's the second advent today!! Because the weather outside was horrible I spent the whole day at home. I was very lazy and got up at 12:00pm(!). At the moment I'm watching TV and eating apples.
Now I have enough energy for the coming days in Berlin. I will do many funny things but I won't tell you now ;).

Hello Mum,
today I helped Marie and her little sister to bake cookies. They were delicous!!! And look, one cookie looked just like me! Can you detect who of us is the cookie and who is the real CrazyEye? ;)

Hi again,
today is St. Nicholas Day!! Because of that I looked into Marie's boot to find some sweets. But there was nothing inside, Marie was faster than me :o. But of course I got some sweets, too.
On friday I will go outside the first time :D. During the week Marie doesn't have time for that because she has to do all this BORING things for school :( (for example practising for a presentation in English but I help her, of course)
I hope you have a nice St. Nicholas Day, Mum.
Greetings

I'm really looking forward to Christmas!! Today Marie showed me her Advent calendar. It looks very nice. And 5 minutes ago she set up a little Christmas tree (not a real one) which glows very beautiful. (Can you see me on the picture with the tree? I'm at the bottom middle of it.)

While Marie was in school it was very boring for me because I stayed at home. But then I found a little drum kit and I played it. That was great :D!!
I also read Marie's favourite book "Felidae". It's about a tomcat who tries to solve a criminal case. I like it but some parts were really scary. I hope I don't get nightmares :stare:.
Anyway, tomorrow I will go OUTSIDE!! :p
Love you, Mum

Mummy, Mummy, I finally was outside!! :D
Marie lives on the tenth floor of a high rise. Fortunately there is a lift which brought us down ;). Today is a very sunny, snowless winterday as you can see on the photos. I borrowed the scooter which Marie's sister made for all small TV's (isn't that brilliant?) and then Marie showed me the house with a big meadow and a little playground in front of it. The grass is sooooo soft :rolleyes:. When it's warm, Marie likes to sit there together with her guinea pigs.
Don't worry, this is not the end of my adventures outside but for now it is.
Talk to you soon

We went to another shopping center today: "Alexa". As the name says, it is on "Alexanderplatz". I will visit this place two more times to see the sights and the Christmas market which are there. Alexa is a very big shopping center. There are many clothes shops and some toy- and jewelry shops, too. The Christmas decoration here is also very nice. On the way back we saw a little Christmas market and there a shop where very very very beautiful baubles were sold. Of course we had to buy some. Look how lovely they are :).

Happy third Advent, Mum!
The perfect day to buy a Christmas tree. I helped to decorate it with baubles, a little bear, a fir cone and even a candy cane. The tree looks very nice now. It looks so nice that birds came and made a nest between it's branches and QuamQuam and Klea like the Chrismas tree so much they could eat it ;). I'm very tired now. I think I go to be... zzz..zzz..zzz..

YIPPIE!! Today is the winter concert of Marie's school :D. I write about it tomorrow because I'll come back very late.
I already hear the Christmas songs :rolleyes:...

Mum, the concert was GREAT. It took place in a hall of "Freizeit Forum Marzahn". Again I saw nice Christmas decoration :). The whole hall was full of people and all looked sooo beautiful. The concert consisted mostly of Christmas songs but there were also two dance performances and pupils who played samba rhythms on bongos. The whole show took three hours(!) but it was worth the time. Because Marie attended in the concert (she sang in the school choir), her little sister took a few photos and here they are.

Oh, I've forgotten to say that a new TV has arrived: Cessy . I think we'll have fun together :D

Hello Mummy,
the weather outside is terrible and so Cessy and I stayed at home. But we weren't lazy, we wanted to know each other better. So we played cards and looked at the Christmas decoration in the living room. Finally Marie taught us how to see 3D pictures in a magic eye book. This was one of the most interesting things I've ever learned!! To see the 3D picture you have to look "into" the design which you can see on the photo. If you do it right, you see an elephant. REALLY

Cessy and I like each other very much. We are good friends now :D
I hope you are spending time with your friends, too

Today the weather was perfect. That was good because so we could go to the Christmas market. I was so excited!! When we arrived the first thing we saw was a very beautiful carousel.
The Christmas market was a big one with many carousels, lights, snack bars and especially many people. I never saw so many people on one place.
But the highlight was riding the big wheel. It was about 40 meters high and you could see the whole Christmas market from high above. I loved it but Cessy is a bit afraid of heights I think...
Later we enjoyed some "Mutzenmandeln" and we looked at different scenes from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
I had a great day, mum :D

Wow, how fast the time passes. It's already the fourth Advent. I can't await Christmas! But before Santa Claus is coming, Marie has many things to do for school. Today we helped her and her friend to make a presentation about agnosia for psychologie. I found it very interesting because of the different kinds of this disease. For a better understanding we read the text: "The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat". It sounds funny but I can tell you it isn't.
I'm very happy that I learn new things everyday.
I miss you...

Hey Mum,
there are MANY shopping centers in Berlin. Today I visited another one: the Easgate. It's very big, nice and modern and what did I see?? Right, Christmas decoration :), again very beautiful. I also saw people who danced to Christmas music. They all looked Christmassy (one man was dressed like a candle :stare:).

Marie got her first Christmas present :) Her friend gave her little colourful marshmallows. They look so good.

YEAH!! Marie has holidays at last. One day before Christmas. She bought the last presents and took me with her- but without the camera :o. Yes, things can be really bad.
After the Christmas present stress I listened to Marie's favourite band: Wise Guys.

Merry Christmas for everyone!
But especially for you, Mummy.
Before gift giving Cessy and I ate self made gingerbread and talked.
Then all got their presents. I also got one from Noisy. It's a necklace. THANK YOU SO MUCH :D. My favourite one of Marie's presents is a big soft toy. It looks so sweet :rolleyes:.
You get a present, too: I fulfilled a mission and drank a beer. It had a strange taste... I don't know if I like it. This is already my second fulfilled mission! I'm so happy and I hope you are, too.
Again merry Christmas for you

We went to Biesenthal today to visit Marie's uncle, aunt and cousin. They have a house with a nice garden.
After lunch we took a loooong walk around the "Wukensee". Although it was very cold outside there was no snow :(. But nevertheless Marie took some good pictures.

SIGHTSEEING :D



Wow, we saw so many sights: "Weltzeituhr",  "Fernsehturm" (so BIG!), "Rotes Rathaus", "Marienkirche" and... no, this is no sight but it looks funny:)  "Berliner Dom",  "Spree", the "Brandenburger Tor" of course and the "Reichstag".
Did you know that sightseeing makes very hungry? At the end of the tour we ate very tasty ice cream.

I LOVE chocolate. That's why I was very happy to visit the Ritter-Sport-Shop. It's like a chocolate paradise :rolleyes:. It was very cold outside and so we first drank a hot chocolate to get warm again. Then we went on to the shop. There were so many chocolate bars: little ones, big ones, huge ones,... and bags, coffee cups, mouse pads and many other things.
But I didn't only eat chocolate, I learned something about the production, too. I saw what cocoa beans look like and I saw how chocolate is produced today. Then I watched a little film about Ritter-Sport chocolate. Now I know how many chocolate bars you need to build the "Fernsehturm" or the "Brandenburger Tor" :).
At the end I created my own chocolate! :D I chose milk chocolate with strawberry pieces, yoghurt crispies and mini marshmallows. DELICIOUS ;)

Good evening Mum,
we went shopping again and look what we saw as we looked into some shop windows.
When we became hungry we ate a delicous pizza. Then Marie bought some games for tomorrow and a warm hat. It looks funny :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012
:D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D
Like all other people we celebrated the beginning of the new year yesterday. First Cessy and I helped to decorate the living room with paper streamers and then we played the games which Marie bought. They were very funny. My favourite game was "Nichtlustig". You have to throw the dices and if you are lucky you get a card. The winner is the one whose cards have the highest value.
Of course we also watched fireworks. They looked fantastic!! So colourful and shiny :rolleyes:
We stayed up till midnight and I clinked glasses with Cessy to welcome the new year.
Look at Marie's new calendar for 2012. 
Marie and I hope that you'll have a perfect year, that you'll stay healthy and that all your wishes will become true ;)

Today the postman brought Marie's sister's last Christmas present: a remote-controlled car! Because it was so fast I could only sit on it as it was standing :(. But I could watch it as it drove :).

How are you, Mum
Cessy is leaving us. I'm very sad because of that :(. But before she scrambled into her envelope she gave me a little kiss! I was so happy :D. I hope I see her again.

Hi Mummy,
today I helped Marie to clean her room. It was so BORING but we had to do it. As a reward I was allowed to watch TV. While I watched TV I ate some pomegranate pits. They tasted better than some unhealthy nibbles ;).
I'll come back soon

I'm coming home, Mummy. :D
I'm very happy about that but I am sad, too because I have to leave Berlin, Marie and her family.
Anyway, I have seen and learned many new and interesting things and I think this is the most important thing about Toyvoyagers. I'm really looking forward to my next adventures.

PS: The envelope is so big :o
