.. where Ikea plays hide-and-seek – Swedish style!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

i have to tell u that when i was in Sweden, watching Vasaloppet, i also had lots of other fun. for exempel, i played hide-and-seek in Svensk style. let me explain how it goes, so u can have fun too!! first, u need a large pile of snow. i can see from the window right now that everyone should have at least one or two, so it should be no problem. here’s one example:

next thing, u need to find a nice spot to excavate! excavating is like digging, but it sounds much more fun. but, if u don’t want to excavate, digging is OK, too.

so, after a while, u should have a nice hole in the snow pile. NB! u have to keep in mind that the hole is large enough. because, u know, my friend Angel once got stuck in the hole when hiding! i think it was either because the hole was too small, OR, he had too many ice-creams! i don’t know in fact. so, this is how it pretty much looks like:

now, only thing left is to start playing!! or, of course, u can also make a little glass window from ice, if u have more time, hehe!
so, that’s hide-and-seek Swedish style! have fun playing and let me know how it goes! cu l8er!

Post Number 100!!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

u know, last weekend me and Angel and Undu spent counting the blog posts. and apparently, this is the post number #100!! That’s a lot of posts for a giraffe, like me, don’t you think? so, i just wanted to say two things really:

for one, thank u all for reading! and comments too, says Angel. so thanks for coming, and i hope u can come back here again! also, especially i would like to say hi to all my friends on Twitter and Facebook. like all the Moose and other Giraffes, for example, hehe!

and secondly, if u know other giraffes or animals that have fun blogs or fotografs, please let me know! there are not many giraffes here in Estland, (not even in Zoo, i’m afraid), so i would like to meet everybody on-line. and perhaps i can travel to visit, some day. i like travel a lot, u know!

so, thanks again for stopping, and have fun! also, let me know your fun ideas in comments! tack! cu l8r!

Happy Pancake Day!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what! i have now just arrived from Sweden, where i was checking out Vasaloppet, a skiing race! but, u have to wait until next week because it will take some time before i can sort out my fotografs! i can tell u, it was much fun!

i did find out however on the ship today that it’s not only Tuesday today, but it is also a Pancake Day! well, in fact my friend @Mooseherd told me that. because, u know they call it different in this country, Estland. It’s called Vastlapäev! and it is a great day for sledging, also (there are some interesting rules for that, especially for this day, but i don’t know exactly because i had no time to go sledging today i’m afraid) but it sure is gr8 day, u know – because of the special buns! so, i made a special fotograf of these special buns that i ordered for myself – especially for my friends @Cutie_Giraffe and @Mooseherd to see. so here comes:

(ooh, did i mention i already ate two, hehe!) also, check out the bonus material in the background, hehe – maybe i will get my friend Sipsik to make some of those too? let’s hope.. we’ll, u go have fun sledging now and let me know when u have some fun fotografs! have fun and cu l8r!
