.. where Ikea is watching Haanja maraton

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!
last weekend i was traveling to south-Estonia again to watch some skiing again. this time Haanja Maraton as u can see here – this is me at the start (everybody has already started, i’m afraid):

but, i have no skis yet, so i was just watching this time. i hope they make some skis for giraffes soon, because it seems to me that there is a lot of snow here in south-Estonia every time i travel here! because the marathon is quite long u know – 40km – and very nice sunny weather, i had lots of time to sunbathe!!

hehe! but, of course, when the skiers finally came back to finish, i then went a little closer to cheer them up! u know, in Estonia they seem to shout “hei hei hei” to the skiers, which sounds exactly like “hej hej hej” in swedish. which is “hello”. so, it is quite nice when you are from sweden and coming to finish and everybody is saying “hello”! fun!



so here it’s me saying “hello” to everybody, hehe!
and look – again SHADOW! ooh, i like shadows, u know, they are great fun!



and here, finally we had great local soup from local soup-makers! it’s probably the best soup that i have had, although i’m not a soup-giraffe that much. anyways, i have to say, really successful day/weekend in Haanja u know: i got to sunbathe, i saw shadows and had a lot of fun shouting “hello” :) what kind of fun travel have u done recently? let me know in comments and c u l8r!

.. where Ikea meets snow tiger

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!
apparently some time last week or so, chinese new year started. and seems to me that because of that, a huge snow tiger (and also some other animals, like this dragon – no giraffes this time :() showed up in the middle of Tallinn. so, i decided to go and sneak up to him:

after a little sneaking, nothing happened. so, i quickly learned that he can’t see, because he has no eyes! or eyeballs i think it’s called in English. hmm.. a blind chinese snow tiger?

so, knowing that i took some other fotografs with the ice tiger, like this one over here, hehe :) next time i’d like to meet a snow giraffe, really. if you know any, let me know and send me a fotograf! so, cu l8r!

.. where Ikea is checking out Tartu Maraton track

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!
Like i said, with a huge skiing event of Tartu Maraton with more than 6000 participants happening on Sunday this week, i went to check out this skiing track. although without skis, i’m afraid. because in africa, giraffes don’t do ski marathons, only running.

so i only walked a little from the finish area and found this huge banner saying “last kilometer”. i guess everyone who gets here from the start will also get to finish, looks like..

..unless of course there is a dog, like happened to me! luckily, Undu has taught me some basic dog speak, so after a while both the giraffe and the dog went our separate ways (as planned) :) u can see the whole trip and some other nature fotografs so, if u are also going, have fun and say hello to all!
