.. where Ikea finds a fun path in Kadriorg

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what! i found a strange path in my home park, Kadriorg!! Check it out:

In fact, i was just doing my regular walking-around-in-the-park, when i noticed it! very interesting..! luckily there was just a sign explaining pretty much everything. u can read (click to make bigger):

apparently, it is some kind of art project. and it is there no longer, i’m afraid because i heard it was there only for a few days. however, i was there and i have proof (fotografs, as u can see). but also, i recorded a video. because, u know – and this is very mysterious, if u ask me, a giraffe – IT LEADS NOWHERE!! see for yourself:

it is very very strange, don’t you think? but certainly lots of fun! i hope they make more of those kinds of paths in Kadriorg, just for fun. have u seen anything like this in your neighborhoods? well, let me know!! and here’s a little “find-a-giraffe” fotograf for u as a bonus! have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea finds a dinosaur in Tartu

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess where I was last weekend!? in Haanja, watching Haanja 100 running event Jala100, which is 100 kilometers of running/walking as fast as u can. this is a lot of kilometers, even in giraffe terms!! unluckily, i could not take any fotografs as the battery went a bit dead. well, nothing serious, just empty, apparently.

so, let me introduce you my new friend – a dinosaur from Tartu:

He is made out of wood, so he does not talk. but you can sit on him, hehe! he’s really nice and his name is Bota. Yes, it is a fotograf from few weeks ago when i met him in his neighborhood. but i can’t tell u exactly where it is. it’s for two reasons: 1. it is a secret! and 2. when too many people come to his area, he may soon be extinct. Extinct means that there will be no dinosaurs. and that would really be a shame!!

so, i gotta go and load the battery now, but here’s a question of the week for u: have u ever run 100km race or seen a dinosaur? let me know! have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea is travelling in Turkey

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

like i was saying, it took me a while to sort these fotografs from my trip to Turkey. (apparently, “turkey” is also a bird.. but i did not see any birds in fact. only sun and camels, jei!)
so, here’s my selection (there is a lot more, but some of them are not so gr8. like for example the ones from the waterfall that we went to check out this one time. i have to tell u, we were mostly in the Hotel, just sunbathing and eating acacia leaves. but we also did some other fun things. like for example we went to check out this old town called Side, which is about here.

as u can see, it is really quite nice. on the way there, we also went to check out this one local church:

which they tend to call a mosque instead. they are quite nice because of the thin long minarets (that’s the towers u know) which look quite like giraffe’s necks! very nice! here’s me inside the mosque. check out the fun carpet they have manufactured pretty much for giraffes, like me to sit on:

hehe! among other things we found in Side were many houses that had not been properly repaired for quite some time. for example, take a look at this wall:

it has holes everywhere! in fact, most of the rest of the house is – somewhat missing, im afraid..!

or, take a look at this giant amphitheater here:

it is quite clear why this is not working any longer – it does not have a roof. it is not so easy to go to a theater without a roof. especially movie-theatres!

but here’s to the fun part – riding a camel, jei!! this was all back at the hotel in fact.

and also – the waterpark, hehe! although i can tell u that i (a giraffe) don’t like water sports. so therefore i went to the waterpark when it was a bit closed. so i did not get wet, hehe!

so, this was my little trip to Turkey. i did take more fotografs, but they are mostly from my favorite hobby – sunbathe. so they are not so much fun. instead, let me know if u have been to Turkey and where to? Have fun and cu l8r!
