We had a fantastic soccer evening today. Switzerland played against Albania. It was a qualifiers game for WM 2014 in Brazil. I really enjoyed the game. ...Switzerland won 2:0!

We enjoyed a private Alphorn concert in Lucerne. Funny music!





...look at the video to hear the special sound!

And now, I like to present the sunny Melchsee-Frutt (not rainy like last time!).







Nice, isn't it?



The Fruttli-Train!

We celebrated Cow's descent from Alpine today! I really enjoyed watching the beautiful cows.


The cows' descent from Alpine pastures gives rise to an impressive popular celebration. Having spent approximately four months on Alpine pastures, the beautifully adorned herds with their bells ringing rhythmically, together with the Alpine herdsmen in their traditional costumes, move back down to the valley. This popular celebration honors an ancient custom and keeps the tradition alive.



Cooking coffee...







Some nice pics without me:

We made a special trip today. We went to Stanserhorn. The Stanserhorn is a mountain located in Switzerland, specifically, in the canton of Nidwalden close to the border with Obwalden, at 1898 meters above sea level. In 2001, a revolving restaurant was built on the top.

On 29 June 2012, a new cable car CabriO was opened to the public, with a capacity of 60 persons in each of the two cars. Unusually it has a double decker arrangement, and is claimed to be the first in the world with an open-air upper deck, with standing room for 30 persons. This runs from Kälti (Chälti on some maps) to the summit, with the original 1893 funicular railway running from the base at Stans to this intermediate station.

Of course, I also need a ticket!



The old funicular railway...







Of course, I enjoyed the ride on the open-air upper deck.







Look, that's the new cable car...









Wonderful view. I love it!



Hi Mum, do you know this places?



...and this mountains?



The revolving restaurant.





...finally on the top!

I enjoyed my last days in Switzerland, because I'll change to Austria.







...let's take a break!

It's time to say "Goodbye". I had a fantastic time here, but it's time to go. I'm surem that my hostfamily will miss me!!!

I'm going to the postoffice now.

Hey,

I arrived good in Austria and got a warm welcome from Bim.







We are going to take a few pics in the next days.
The weather isn't very fine and host-mom has to work the whole week, so I think Bim and I are going to play a little inside the house.

Miss you. 

Bye,
Huhn

Today we found a letter from China in our postbox.

Monachu send us some postcards. 

Hey Mom,

today we watched the whole day TV.
It was an exception, I swear. But we had to watch Felix Baumgartner, who was jumping from the Stratosphere.

It was amazing, host-mom was nervous and her heart nearly stopped when he began to spin.

It was so awesome to see.






Love,
Huhn

Hy Mom,

the last week was so dusty and rainy. Host-mom also had to work the whole week, because her colleague was sick.

But on Saturday, the 20th of October we had a little trip.

At first we made a test drive with the Dacia Duster, because host-granddaddy's car has broken down.






After that we drove to the Donauzentrum (Danubecenter), one of the biggest shoppingcenter in Austria.
In this shop it wasn't allowed to take fotos, so I'm not in it. Host-mom secretly took it with her mobile phone.






After that we went to eat a little.
The restaurant is called Saloon and there you can order a dish called Goldgräberplatte (Gold Digger plate), for 3-4 Persons.
Actually we don't know how this 3-4 Persons look like, but we coulndn't eat it.



On Friday, the 26th of October is the national holiday, and also host-mum's birthday.
We are going to visit the Heldenplatz and the Hofburg, because every year there you can see the Austrian military and the swearing of nearly 1.400 Military servants, the Austrian president is going to be there too.
But I'm going to show you more of it after our visit. 

Love,
Huhn

Hey mom,

sorry it took us a little longer to get the pictures online.

We took a picture of me in front of the Votivkirche in Vienna.
Unfortunately we came to late to see the military on the 26th of October.


But when we came home we tried to make the chocolate-flakes like these we bought in the shop a few days before.
It tasted quite good.




The 26th of October was also host-mom's birthday, here you can see me and Huhn in front of her presents.




That's Tabby, host-mom's cat. She's really nice.. sometimes.. hahaa..


And here are two pics of me in Upper Austria. Unfortunately it was very rainy after this, so we could not take more photos.



Miss you!

Hi everyone!

I'm in Finland now! I arrived here on 23rd of January. It's been very cold hrrrrrrr....



Here was already one tv waiting for me. I gave a warm hug to Ape Apina



We made a quick trip to Hyvinkää. It takes only 10 minutes with train.


Travelling with train!







Some art at the train station



And later that day we wrote some postcrossing cards:



I've had great time here! Love you all!

xxoo Huhn

Hello everyone!
Long time no see and a lot of things has happened! We have had a great time with Ape Apina and we have become friends.


One stormy night at my current home Riihimäki.

We also went to the sightseeing in Riihimäki. This is a very small town so there aren't many big or important places but here is something:


The statue of a glassblower. Riihimäki is famous of glass. The second of two last glassworks was in here. The last one was in Karhula and it was shut down a few years ago. So now there isn't any glassworks in Finland anymore. That's sad.. And actually my host mom's dad was one of the last workers in the glassworks of Karhula! So my host mom knows a lot about that.


There is also a garrison in Riihimäki and it shows also in the street view.




Here also the trees has scarves!


Jaiks! We are high!! Don't worry mom I'm careful (notice the newspaper in the tree..)


The train station from a little differen perspective..





And then the place that my host moms call "the duck pond" but now it's frozen so we didn't see any ducks 8( I would have loved to talk them a little.. :/







Two weeks ago we got some company: three new mice! They were cute.



The whole pack of eight mice are getting to know each other.


(those two white ones with brown noses are a mother and a daughter!)

We also made a trip to visit my host mom's dad in Hamina and mom in Kotka:

Hamina

We have only pictures fro inside because the weather was horrible 8(


mmmmh the fireplace was soooo warm






Kotka:






A bad picture but those are cows made of a scrap metal of cars.


The train station of Kotka.

And of course we had the Shrovetide!


And Valentine's Day:

muffins made on Geisha chocolate!

See ya! Bye!

Love,

Hi Mom! I arrived safely in San Diego and I'm having fun! This place is beautiful! Look at these gorgeous tall palm trees! They are all over San Diego!
