where Ikea goes to Helsinki

Hello again, it's me, Ikea.

Looks like no-one has been writing my blog while i have been doing other things, so i have to do it myself. So, let me tell you about my trip in Helsinki, while you are here.


First, as you can see, me here on this big red boat. It is not the first thing for me to be on a boat, you know. Before i moved to Estland, i was born in Sweden. So i know boats quite well and they are fun. Not so much being outside on the boat with this weather. I had to carry a large bag so that the wind wouldn't blow me away.. scary!


After a while, i managed to get to Finland. I'm glad they did not have sniffer dogs at the port. Sniffer dogs are no fun at all. Once my friend Muzzy introduced me to one sniffer dog, it was very scary. Sniffer dogs are only fun from a distance.


So, here's a couple of things we did in Helsinki. First we went to eat at Pizza buffet. It is good to have some nice pizza from time to time you know. I like vegetarian.


Then we went shopping. Actually, here i am trying to do my best Shaun the Sheep impression ;)



And here's find the Ikea after all this shopping hehee. We also went to do some sightseeing in the night, and this is pretty much all, before i had to get back to the red boat. Since it was my favorite day - Friday, we had to wait with all these other people trying to get to Estland. Estland seems to be very popular on Fridays for Finns!


And then we came back and that's it. I had this plan of bringing my friend Angel some tupla from Helsinki, but ooops.. i think i was a bit hungry on the way back..


Anyway, in the meantime, i have also moved, as you can see from my name. so i am not in Kalamaja anymore! I will try to post some fotografs of my new place soon. I wanted already to post today, but Volvo and Saab ate them. Oh, im not sure you know Volvo and Saab! well, i will introduce later!

..where Ikea posts some pics of geocaching

i have to say i am superbusy right now doing my giraffe stuff, so i will just post some fotografs from yesterday when i went sunbathing and geodashing in Raplamaa! c u then!

where Ikea goes to Lohu and discovers a shadow

now, i have to say i have been busy and didn't have time. for example, the other day i was playing hide-and-seek with Angel. and it took me all day to find out that he was in the washing machine. he-hee, i almost didn't recognize him coz he had been washing you know :)

anyways, maybe some day i have a chance to tell everything i have been doing. but, i went to see Loone linnus last week and i put up some photografs. i also was doing something else, but i can't tell you right now, coz it is a secret! for a giraffe, i like secrets a lot, like Angel says.



but i also ate some raspberries and some green grass on the way. very nice green grass there, although not as tasty as acacia leaves, i have to say. but you should check it out yourself.



here's me with a shadow. my grandpa used to say always: "if you want to see how long neck you have, you need to go and look at your shadow when the sun is really low". i don't know exactly what he meant, but i like shadows. i think i like shadows nearly as much as i like secrets - they both have two S-s, too.

..where Ikea has a vision

today, when i was having my mid-afternoon nap No3, i realized, something was watching me. and then all of a sudden, i woke up - and there he was - full scale giraffe just in front of me:



and then i woke up really, and it was gone! too bad. these good visions really happen just before you wake up, i think. especially when you are only a toy giraffe. u know...

now, i'd better go eat something..

Ikea checks out Võru

We'll, here come the other pictures from my trip to south. apparently i had too much time in Võru, so i checked out the most famous places like the statue of Kreutzwald and the beach and the town square. and then of course the very-big-chair :D here comes:

Ikea makes firewood for winter

hi all! i am sure you have been thinking, what has happened to Ikea? well, i have been busy. for example, the other day i spent all day watching how the raindrops drummed on the window. among other things, i also traveled to south, to get some sun. i like sun a lot. so i went to south-Estonia to make some firewood and other things. many things you can do in south u know. so i have put up some pictures from making firewood, enjoy!

Ikea goes to Rapla

at first, i wanted to title this post to be "the part, where Ikea goes to Rapla, reads a book on a train and visits hairdresser". but, giraffes don't like long titles very much. although they have long necks.. hehe. so this time i will keep it short and just post some photos, because i have to go watch animal planet right now.. c u l8r!

..where Ikea goes to Tartu

so, like i said i decided to get hooked up with this traveling-thing. first off, i went to see my friend in Tartu. i have never been to tartu before. as a matter of fact, i even didn't know i have a friend in tartu, but apparently i do. that's the way things are sometimes, u know. so, i took a train to tartu:

i like trains. also, train station is near where i live! so, i woke up in the morning, and there i was in the train :() but u know, i fell asleep pretty much when i got on the train hehe. but i had this dream where i was riding a roller coaster and then suddenly the roller coaster stopped and a man came on board to check if i have a ticket! so i woke up and it was not a dream in fact there was a man asking for ticket from people. guess what, i didn't have to pay! Ikeas can ride for free u know (:
so after all this dream and the ticket-man and telling all this story had happened i actually arrived in tartu:

so, first off i went to get some fotografs. i like to say fotografs, because there is more ffs in fotografs than in photographs. ffs are much more Fun. it would be so boring if you had to say giraphph or phun. not so phantastic at all! so here i am at the fountain:

and then i went to chat with Vilde and Wilde. guess what - they are made out of bronze!

and then i went to see my friend Muzzy:

in fact, here's me and Muzzy talking about food. for some reason, Muzzy doesn't like leaves. i like leaves a lot. most of all, i like acacia leaves. u know, Muzzy has never had acacia leaves! that's a pity.

..where Ikea talks about traveling and confusing

Well then. I have now decided to learn traveling. and then i travel and then i post some photographs on my blog, okay? for example i might travel somewhere and then i will write about it in this blog, so that i can remember later. giraffes don't have a great memory u know. especially after i have been to many places, i will probably forget some places.. or, maybe i confuse them.. giraffes like to confuse things with other things as well. for example one day i confused our neighbor's cat :D

Me and my BIG eyes

Me and Angel

Angel is one of my best friends ... actually my only friend... Angel is from Idaho, he is worth only 10 bucks ... so cheap u know. In Sweden you don't get even one beer with 10 bucks:)
