Jyväskylä, Finland - 27th July 2012

By: mmm105

Hello dad!

Today happened something really nice and exiting thing to me:
I arrived to Finland!!!
I'm now with my new host, my very first host, mmm105, in the city named Jyväskylä.

There were MANY other ToyVoyagers waiting for me. And they wanted to have a welcome party, how nice! :) So, we ate all the chocolate candies, what I got from home. I have to say, they were so yummy. All liked them.

And here is hostmom's own toy Kurnau, who is also my host here.
He said to me, that he will do his best that I will enjoy my time in Finland.

Hi dad!

I was walking outside, and I saw this funny sign there.
There's showing how far away this place is from different cities abroad.
It's looking cool, isn't it?  B)

Love,

Hello dad!

Today Kurnau wanted to show me something.
He said the place where we will go is great. He was so mysterious...  :thinking:
So, we went outside and started to walk.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-__3xQbK3cdk/UBOQnkjlNiI/AAAAAAAAP0c/d53o-CdvQe8/s640/120.JPG

Kurnau said this place is called Harju. It's like a small hill just next to city center. And there's such a great and long stairs there.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dwebv-IB-Ws/UBOQZShKsUI/AAAAAAAAPyU/wM0584Mr_Hc/s512/017.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KB5xq9lTuDw/UBOQZIFfqII/AAAAAAAAPyM/tX4H8HY2S6U/s512/031.JPG

Up there is the building called Vesilinna.
I'm so exited, because Kurnau said we are going to up in this high tower to see great views!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RB5dI5kTIGo/UBOQZjidCsI/AAAAAAAAPyQ/DmSflzrncRA/s512/039.JPG

There's the city center. And the lake in the picture is named Jyväsjärvi.
Look dad, the lake is so close to city center!!!
And by the way, did you know that there's about 188 000 lakes in total in Finland? Lots of lakes, isn't it? So cool!  B)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-L_xoIYhwpI4/UBOQa4urXrI/AAAAAAAAPy0/zIqw5bKOb4o/s640/052.JPG

There's the sport stadium of Harju.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Na7TFHpF68g/UBOQaJdIr2I/AAAAAAAAPyg/O7S6RRJEPko/s632/049.JPG

And there's the view to the direction where hostmom is living.
She is living just next to the lake. :)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-19oxXMRSn-0/UBOQbOt5jeI/AAAAAAAAPys/6itItlov5vA/s640/064.JPG

On the downstairs of the building Vesilinna, there's the Natural History Museum (Keski-Suomen luontomuseo). We visited there.

There's hirvi (a moose). It's the biggest animal living in Finland.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CNn5ATsxvfI/UBOQbTiGJoI/AAAAAAAAPzE/DA7W-lsBgsk/s640/077.JPG

And there's joutsen (a swan). It's the national bird of Finland.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-L32PhhzEkA4/UBOQcHNLO0I/AAAAAAAAPy8/24hW0FM6Pj0/s640/078.JPG

There's saukko (an otter).

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-11Vzh-cjZyM/UBOQcmgYJnI/AAAAAAAAPzI/qM-PbtprcBM/s640/099.JPG

There's tikka (a woodpecker).

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UiZc5FA9VNY/UBOQdaQzheI/AAAAAAAAPzQ/hoJrU4OtE4k/s640/100.JPG

There's ilves (a lynx).

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-25HGuMba_2Y/UBOQeJs-k5I/AAAAAAAAPzY/BdnJHMp3AZc/s640/109.JPG

There were showing also some different stone materials, and how continental plates have moved.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DKSeybay0NY/UBOQd7Um0sI/AAAAAAAAPzc/8CgkurXgwmk/s512/103.JPG

It was such a great place to visit! :)

Love,
Rico

Hey dad!

I enjoyed the sunshine today.  B)
I went to see the lake just next to hostmom's home. I think she is so lucky to live in this beautiful surroundings: lots of trees and a lake just next to her home.
It's so Finnish thing: there's so much forests and lakes in nature of Finland.

Love,
Rico

Korpilahti, Finland - 1st August 2012

By: mmm105

Hello!

I visited in a new place today: Korpilahti.
It's located very near of Jyväskylä.

I was there, because there was a postcrossing meeting, and it's one of hostmom's hobby.
I had such a great time in the meeting, and I met new ToyVoyagers there!
Another host (Fendi) was there, too, and offcourse with all her toys
and toy-guests (PieksiHH, Nils and Kitsune).

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wSiYewstscM/UBvpNo6UdgI/AAAAAAAAQZA/Fw4ntMzSoq4/s553/004.JPG

We all toys have really fun time together! :D
When hostmom and other humans there wrote postcards,
we toys were eating their snacks, hih.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-YBw0M7GC-FE/UBrcTiWVrqI/AAAAAAAAQU4/5P4y0GLd7R8/s640/006.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-88ufGGrA4SI/UBvpN5YnJjI/AAAAAAAAQZE/dUHF00QvcJk/s586/007.JPG

After eating we got thirsty, so we made coffee.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CEROJtRvKxg/UBvqEqFyP7I/AAAAAAAAQeQ/1fD-cif_ZAA/s640/012.JPG

And then we played hide and seek! But it didn't go so well,
because the most of us was hiding under the glass.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sTyxb6JsZoQ/UBvqMXTuBQI/AAAAAAAAQek/3ISyBNTMR64/s640/016.JPG

After eating and playing I wrote a postcard. :)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jHeBHKBPZcA/UBvpYBFox5I/AAAAAAAAQgg/eVtU8kgcRHU/s512/023.JPG

Here are only some of the postcards what postcrossers wrote.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-AYAtFAjwv50/UBvpZXxYtYI/AAAAAAAAQao/bwm9hT7uJv0/s547/030.JPG

And here we toys are helping to mail those postcards. :)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Mbbgx1XMnp8/UBvqfVTt2xI/AAAAAAAAQe4/g0PH7oNZGrs/s640/032.JPG

It was really fun to join in the meeting!  B)

Love,
Rico

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fHxz7F6HcgE/UBvpl929RII/AAAAAAAAQcA/GBuLXj4yPC8/s512/061.JPG

This building is quite unique looking, I think.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fhlqCfz7_zI/UBvpmkNkYLI/AAAAAAAAQcI/8P8Vz_Notp4/s640/062.JPG

And there are we toys, with hostmom. ;)

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-STOrW1eiS3I/UBvpngZdQbI/AAAAAAAAQcE/wqcidHRSmZU/s497/063.JPG

Then we found a playground, and we had some great time there!!!

Hello dad!

Today morning one of us left, but in the afternoon we got more company again because a new toy arrived.

Totoro. left here today. He goes to USA to his new host.
We said goodbye to him, and wished a safe and confortable journey.

And then the new toy Cody Otter beaver arrived here. He told very interesting stories about his travels. He has a travel memories notebook with him, and he showed it to us. It was nice!

Jyväskylä, Finland - 7th August 2012

By: mmm105

Hey dad!

Guess what? I ate together with Kurnau something really Finnish thing: karjalanpiirakka (a Karelian pie).  :p

Kurnau told, that nowadays in the most familiar and common recipe is  to make Karelian pies from a thin rye crust with a filling of rice. Butter, often mixed with boiled egg (egg butter or munavoi), is spread over the hot pies before eating.

And dad, I have to say: These are good!!!  :p You really should try these some day!

After eating the hole Karelian pie, Kurnau asked if I would like to have a tea party. I wanted it, so Kurnau invited all others to come to drink some tea.  :)

And we had a great tea party! We talked, and laughed to each other. It was really nice way to spend the afternoon.

Dad, just take a look at the pictures, and you will see how much fun time we all had.

Love,
Rico

Hi dad!

I'm so exited, because I just heard I will travel to Spain. And my journey starts TODAY!!!

I got the Spanish feeling from hostmom's T-shirt. :D

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-EowMSAG8TTE/UCIgVzaKS3I/AAAAAAAAQhU/RlSoBAq8lao/s640/001.JPG

I tried to put it on, but it was too big for me...
Or what is your opinion, dad? Do I look great?  ;)
At least I felt very Spanish.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xHTNq8RTaXs/UCIgWHlUd3I/AAAAAAAAQhY/cabRcE0tEao/s640/003.JPG

Before saying goodbyes, we all toys wanted to do something fun.
And because it's raining outside, we need to be inside.
Well, Kurnau had an idea for playing a violin. So, we did it, and it was really fun! :)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-eVToz8VqeJI/UCIgXj3f1WI/AAAAAAAAQhw/Sca-Qd5FEqM/s640/010.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RX7_O_mD744/UCIgYe_AW9I/AAAAAAAAQiE/0Fz0Jqce5Dw/s640/013.JPG

Then was my time to say goodbye to all. I had a great time in Finland, and I'm going to miss these nice toys...

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-wWSP3kcOX5M/UCIgW_qj-1I/AAAAAAAAQhk/kpMiLmELfyA/s640/005.JPG

They gave me a group hug and wished me a safe journey. :)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-u8DKIMlYD7w/UCIgWJLXfyI/AAAAAAAAQhc/p_BLF4yOT8o/s512/004.JPG

Bye bye!

Love,
Rico
