.. where Ikea ends up watching xdream in Valgehobusemäe

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what. on Friday, i was looking thru some fun giraffe stuff for my #funfriday collection, resting from holidays AND eating apples when my friend Sipsik asked if i was doing anything fun on Saturday. Normally i would have said “i’m doing very important stuff”, like “sunbathing” or “playing hide-and-seek with Angel”, but i was just in the middle of learning some Judo with my friend Lotte. “So, perhaps u would like to go and check how your team is doing at the xdream?” of course, i agreed right away. i like watching sport a lot. and xdream is quite fun too – lot’s of running! so, i went to this place called Valgehobusemäe, to support my team, ikeathegiraffe.com. here’s my team canoeing:

unfortunately, i did not get to see too many teams this time, as not everyone started together. so instead i mostly saw the same people, over and over, hehe! so i now remember some faces even. although giraffes, like me, are not gr8 with memory, u know. luckily i have fotografs. here’s a fotograf from this point that i found just a little bit off the main track:

the most fun part was this RMK special task, where you had to figure out the names of different animals. so there were seven different ones:

the gr8 thing about this special task was that i got to participate, as u can see. so people had to figure out seven animals. i can already tell u that number seven was giraffe!! but the other numbers were like Lynx and Moose among other things. can u guess which is which? let me know in comments!

there were, of course lot more fotografs that i took. they are mostly from my team, ikeathegiraffe.com, i’m afraid. but that’s good news because they got 12th place in Valgehobusemäe (White Horse Hill) and 11th in total. which is gr8 because i got to be on stage, jei! lots of fun, because i got to shake hands with about 40 people, hehe! if i get hold of a link to a fotograf, i will update this post! until then, have fun and let me know about the animal guessing ;)

.. where Ikea meets a Hedgehog!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

i don’t have many news this week because i have been really busy vacationing AND eating apples. but the good news is that i met a hedgehog!! his name is Edgars and he is from Latvia! I met him on my travels to South-Estonia last weekend, as i was busy eating apples. Apparently, Edgars likes apples too! so we had good talking! so, gotta go now! have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea goes to Tallinn Zoo!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

i wanted to tell u about my trip to Tallinn Zoo! Finally! but, i have to tell u that they don’t have a giraffe i’m afraid. that’s basically the main reason we have not been to Tallinn Zoo yet.

so this time, because the weather was REALLY nice we went to check it out. and i have to tell u i mostly wanted to see ice-bears and maybe some wild cats. i can tell u right now that we did not see any wild cats, because of the weather. it was too hot for them, it seems to me. but we did see one ice-bear! Polar bear, in fact:

his name is not Angel, if u ask me. i think his name is Nord. but he was quite busy walking around so we did not get a chance to ask… again, i did not get a really good fotograf because my friend Sipsik had to go to see some birds. but i wanted to take some pictures for Angel. he could not come because he was hiding in the bamboo basked since last time of hide-and-seek, hehe!

but here’s some more animals we did see. a large BULL elephant for example up here. and down here, a bunch of LLamas. sleeping, mostly.

then there were also some other animals but i did not get really good fotografs because they were hiding. This one llama told me that usually they have this big game of hide-and-seek on Saturdays, so most probably half of them were out there playing. it sounds reasonable to me. so we’ll have to go maybe next time again. or, like my friend Undu, he likes to follow the cameras. but i did get to meet an Angry Bird, hehe!

other than that, it was all good fun afternoon. naturally we also had some ice-cream (my favorite) and when everybody else was muching on theirs, i got a chance to take a litte sunbathe, jei!

what about your good self? did u visit some Zoos lately and, most importantly, did u meet giraffes? let me know in comments! have fun and cu l8r!
