..where Ikea goes to Gran Canaria II

guess what, i have a secret to tell you. actually giraffes drink coke. sometimes hehe :) but look! try to find me on this fotograf:


i have to say, it must have been a large giraffe who they used as a model for this wall..
but next, couple of fotografs of me in Las Palmas:



well, maybe not this one.. but here's Ikea version of traffic lights. for kids, maybe :D


lunch break.


me like dis flower.. verymuch other things that i like:


sunbathe..


oh, wait, look here, my friend giraffe, looking exactly like me!!


.. and very very black cats on top of the mountain. let me try to scare them a bit. uu-uuu-uu uuu!

so, this is my vacation to gran canaria. hej do!

..where Ikea is sneaking in Gran Canaria I

Hi again! Finally i managed to post some fotografs from my trip to gran canaria. Muzzy told me, that is one of his favorite places, because of the name hehe..
so, here is me in Las Palmas beach


there was quite a bit of wind, so if you look very closely, you can see me shivering. giraffes have a long neck, like mine, so it catches all the wind and makes you shiver. i will later put up a photo where i tried to hide from the wind!


So, here is me again! actually, i am trying to go and sneek up to these trees in the background to have lunch. guess what i will be eating ;) i like sneaking a lot. i think sneaking is one of my 3rd best hobbies besides taking fotografs and many things starting with S-s. so, here i have sneaked up to a mountain, look:


and a cathedral, right here:


here again i went to sneak in the mountains and trees and ended up on a little hilltop :)


oops, here, a mountain has sneaked up on me, i'm afraid (:


a few more fotografs from different places. also there you see one fotograf with me and the road and a cactus. cactuses are not much fun. my nose was later all full of thorns like a small hedgehog. i spent all day trying to get rid of them. luckily, i don't have any photos from that.



here is also some kind of nice place to sit (: also, on this picture, i look a little bit surprised, don't you think? i am not so surprised usually.. but, I have more fotografs from this trip, so i will try to put them up later!


hej do!

.. where Ikea is back again

Hi all! Now i think everyone has been waiting for new fotografs from me. So, first here is a couple of them, which i have promised for long time from this new place i live. First, here is a picture of me caught reading magazines and saying "hey":


sometimes i like to go to magazines to read them instead of having the magazines come to me. because when you are giraffe, like me, you never know, which magazine you like to read, when you actually get it. so, it is better to go to their place, so you can choose.


now, this is this bamboo basket where Angel is hiding himself all the time when we play hide-and-seek. right now he has gone somewhere and i have taken his place. this basket is actually a good place to hide, especially if someone wants to take you to washing or you simply want to chat with your friends in the dark. but, as you can see, it is not so easy to get out afterwards, hehe


and this, is where i sleep sometimes, when i have time. it is also good for just sitting or resting my neck after a good hide-and-seek game. anyways, i have to go now!

..where Ikea goes to Office

now, apparently i went to visit an office, the place for work and fun. usually, i watch tv at this time, or sometimes we play hide-and-seek with Angel. but he is no fun to play with, becoz he always hides in the bamboo-basket. so therefore, instead we chase saab and volvo. so, where was i..


here i first checked out all the plants in the office. none of them taste good, in fact, most of them taste really bad. so instead, i tried to program a tamagotchi out of the egg-timer. well, almost.. as much as giraffs know about programming, hehe!


couple of fotografs here from me doing some research. to be honest, it has taken me all this time to get this research done. thats what i have been doing all this time! -besided watching tv, traveling, eating acacia leaves, playing hide-and-seek and taking fotografs.


because i had so much to do, i had to make copies of me, so i would get all this things done:

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!
