Hello mom!
I had a w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l day!
Guess what I did... I was in a TOYVOYAGER MEETING!!!
Just great!!! I met sooooooo many new ToyVoyagers, and we had so much fun!
Here are we all toys together in Kirkkopuisto (a church park).
Our hosts and moms mmm105 and Reissari from Finland, and RikeH from Germany has organized this meeting, thanks for them!
Then mmm105 and Reissari said they have a secret, and we all must trust them. They talked each other something about benji jumping... No no no, I won't do that!!! It's too crazy thing to do!!!
But it wasn't a benji jumping place where we went. I was so relief about that. mmm105 and Reissari were just kidding!
We went to see more Finnish people in a great postcard shop, where was a postcrossing meeting there. That was nice!
Look! Isn't the postcard shop amazing?
Have you got a feeling, that you have to buy something?
After that we went to the restaurant and I ate pizza, yummy.
Then was time to go "home", to mmm105's place.
There we said welcome to a new TV TobiHH, who came to visit mmm105.
After a long and exiting day, I was quite tired, so I went to sleep...
ZZZzzzzZZZ zzzzz ZZZZZZ zzzzz ZzZzZzZ zzZZZZz ZZZ zzzz
Love,
Wayne

Hey mommy!
Today hostmom took me with her to visit a great place.
We went to näkötorni (the viewing tower) to see good views about Jyväskylä city.
And the views were definitely so great! I saw the hole city from there!
The viewing tower is located in the place called Harju (it's like a hill just next to city center).
There's the city center, and the harbour of Jyväskylä:
There's the sport stadium of Harju:
And if you look very carefully on the horizon of the following picture, you can see the ski jumping place there:
There's the house where hostmom is living! Yes, the building inside the red circle.
There's Natural History Museum in the same building as the viewing tower is.
So, I visited there, too.
The Natural History Museum's website (click) tells that "The Natural History Section serves as a preservation unit for natural scientific research, and displays environmental subjects and research material. It takes care of the living plants of the botanical garden on the campus. It also receives wild animals found dead and prepares scientific samples of them. The section has a collection of over 250 000 samples, the most numerous being invertebrates, plants and moss."
I saw many Finnish animals there.
I saw hirvi (a moose). It is the biggest animal living in Finland.
And I saw karhu (a bear). This one was a baby bear.
And there's two swans. A swan ( joutsen ) is the national animal of Finland.
Just next to Harju, we all stopped to watch a fountain.
And by walking in the city center I saw this little detail on the wall of one building.
Looks cool!
Love,
Wayne

Hi mommy!
I aaaaaaammm ssooooooo haaaaaapppyyyyy noooww!
I learned to cook today. So, one of my life mission is now completed!
I made some lasagne bows. Have you ever heart of them before? They are really easy and quick to make. Let me show you...
At first, put some water to the pot, and wait untill water is boiling.
Brown some chicken slides in the frying pan.
(if you don't like chicken, you can make this sauce using whatever you like more... meat... vegetables... etc.)
Put some lasange to boiling water, and boil them until they are soft enough. Be careful, that they won't get stuck to each other!
Make some grated cheese. (You will need them later)
Put some spices to chicken... (with your own taste... for example salt, pepper, onion, chili, curry...)
...and little bit of food-cream.
Separate lasagne and boiling water.
Put some oil into the bowl.
Put some chicken sauce on the lasagne.
...and some grated cheese, too.
Roll the lasagne so that chicken and cheese stay inside the lasagne.
Then it's time to make lasagne bow.
Twist both ends of the lasagne roll.
Put those lasagne bows into the bowl you've already put some oil.
Then put some grated cheese on them. And then put the bowl into the owen.
In the mean time, it's perfect time to make a salad, or something else...
Lasagne bows are ready, when they have got some colour on them.
Hyvää ruokahalua! Bon appétit! Enjoy your meal!
It was fun! ...Ooooh, and so good!
Love,
Wayne

Jyväskylä, Finland - 7th June 2012

Hi mom!
I helped hostmom to go to the shop buy some food and other things what need in every-day-life. We went to the shop named Prisma.
Inside I met some other cute toys.
I also tried to put on a SUOMI shirt, but it was "only little bit" big for me. Shame!
By the way, the lion in the shirt is the coat of arms of Finland.
But this house is not too big for me. I asked hostmom if I could have it, but she said it would be too difficult to mail forward from host to other host... So, I only visited inside the house, and then we continued shopping.
Then I saw such a funny thing: some hens up there! (well, they aren't living ones... so, don't worry about them, mommy)
And then was time to go back. B.o.B., Kit-Kat, BarryO and Mo were there, too.
Love,
Wayne

Hello!
Today I watched television. There was very popular program, Moomins.
Moomin charachters and stories are popular in Finland, but also almost all over the World. The writer of Moomin stories is Tove Jansson (1914-2001).
Hostmom told me, that there's many many Moomin things here in Finland. First of all, there's the Moominworld in Naantali, the Moomin museum in Tampere, and there's also lots of Moomin products selling in Finland.
Lots of Moomin info you can find through this link.
Love,
Wayne

Viherlandia, Jyväskylä, Finland - 17th June 2012
By: mmm105
Hello mommy!
I went to visit in place called Viherlandia today. It's a place, where are selling lots of different flowers and other plants, and other things needed in gardening. There's also a cafe.
Hostmom went to this place, because there was a postcrossing meeting there. But first, she showed me something really great: two living parrots, Kalle and Torsti!
Here is me and the other parrot.
After meeting parrots, we went to cafe. And because I was very hungry, I ate a panini (a toasted/grilled warm sandwich). It was so good, that others came to eat it, too...
And for dessert, I ate a piece of cheese cake. Yummy!
Then I took part in a postcrossing meeting. And guess what?!? There I met two new ToyVoyagers: A teddybear and a horse (they were with another Finnish host Delenna there).
Here are we all:
Postcrossers are so crazy, they allways write so MANY postcards!!!
After the postcrossing meeting, I went to look around. I wanted to see, what kind of place it is.
I found many nice things there.
We were riding a bike there!!! Yippee!!!
And we saw the flowers were riding a bikes, too!!!
hih
I met some gnomes, too. They were very funny!
The next picture is the last (but not least) photo today.
Some hearts for you, mommy! <3
I had a nice day!
Love,
Wayne
