.. where Ikea is hunting for ice-cream

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

now. as i mentioned earlier, there is one thing every giraffe knows – when u go to Paris, u need to have some ice-cream! so, after some sightseeing..

.. and some geocaching (: ..

.. i went to hunt for some ice-cream from Île Saint-Louis!

it is an island in fact, right in the middle of the river! it is actually quite small island, so it seems to me that you can only find ice-cream shops there. and also a restaurant with cows on the windows. i actually told Undu about these cows and he was totally psyched! unfortunately, i have no fotografs of those cows.

ooh, this one tasted really really good. i think ice-cream is moving up fast in my top 100 best things to eat. (if u ask what place, then i’d say around 24th, because there are still 19 dishes of acacia leaves and 4 from apples that definitely stay ahead.) but there is one important thing – there is really two different kinds of ice-cream (shops) on that louis island – Amorino and Berthillon. and if u ask me, then they are totally different. so, after i finished my amorino, i was still a little hungrig, so i went to hunt for that other one! in fact, there was even a line for this one:

but eventually everyone got their ice-creams, including me – as u can see from the fotograf below. ooh, and by the way there has been some really nice weather last few weeks, so i tried some local ice-cream here and it is not that good. so, if u are travelling to Paris, then go to the ice-cream island! or, perhaps u have been there? which one did u like, the amarino or the berthillon? or maybe u can recommend me more very good ones to try? let me know in comments! so, have fun and cu l8r!

.. Supersize Ikea

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

so, it is time to reveal the mystery of me in Paris that i was talking about – if u have read the last two posts about me at the tower and Montmartre. and guess what – it’s not that i was eating some magic strawberries! (although my friend Timmy did eat a magic tomato, as i was just watching him in this batch of my friend Shaun’s adventures – very funny). but istead – they have made the houses in France a lot smaller!! check this -

i can’t even put my head through the door!

so i went to ask what’s going on from this Guy Dieu, who apparently lives in one of them churches – you can see me here knocking on his door. so he says – “it’s not ze real france, i’m afraid. it is ze France Miniature!” (he has a real funny french accent too) “so, zis is made for les giraffes, like u, exactly!” wohoo – a small france made exactly for giraffes, like me, so i don’t have to travel through the whole country! i like!

so, i must say i wandered around the whole country in just couple of hours :) and i have to tell u, that i made lots of fotografs too. too many in fact. so instead i have uploaded them to my flickr photos, please take a look if u want more. but i had also some other fun in this park, for example rolling down the hill with kids! gr8 fun, if u ask me! have u tried rolling down the hill this spring yet? let me know! have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea meets French Cuisine

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

since i was in Paris just few weeks ago and i have heard that some of my friends are also going, i thought i give you some idea of french cuisine for tourist giraffes.

first of all, right out of hostel in the morning there is nothing better than a nice bottle of milk.

then, after a little bit of walking i usually get hungrig. so it is good time to take a crepe au chocolat.

because of springtime, the smell of cherry trees keeps you going. or, occasionally you can eat them.

for lunch, usually it is good to take some magic strawberries. that’s regular strawberries with some creme fraiche.

and the of course for the evening – a good dinner. for example we visited a restaurant that my friend Ardi opened just about two weeks before. it’s called Le Comptoir des Petits Champs. they have really good broccoli there.

as u can see, that’s what i was getting. the meat (and the wine too actually) is for my friend sipsik, she is a big meat-eater. and of course you cannot do without a lot of ice-cream!!! well, i have to tell u that the post about ice-cream is not yet ready.. but since ice-cream is so important part of Paris, i must write a separate post about it. so stay tuned! have fun and cu l8r!
