You must have been thinking that i have gone back to Jonk\u00f6ping? Hehe, not really :) Like, for example, couple of days ago, i went <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xdream.ee\/\">xdreaming<\/a>. As it appears, it is a lot of fun, even for a giraffe, like me. So, here is what happened:<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF48lSBhUI\/AAAAAAAAAz4\/SxrYhwcEx90\/s1600-h\/IMG_7996.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF48lSBhUI\/AAAAAAAAAz4\/SxrYhwcEx90\/s320\/IMG_7996.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<p>so here i am, waiting for the start. <a name='more'><\/a>Unfortunately no other giraffes participating today! I think they were afraid because of their long necks might get stuck to a tree when canoeing..<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF487t2cqI\/AAAAAAAAA0A\/2-5RscA-vYI\/s1600-h\/CIMG2729.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF487t2cqI\/AAAAAAAAA0A\/2-5RscA-vYI\/s320\/CIMG2729.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<p>anyway, there a lot of things to do in this competition. for example, here it&#8217;s me at a big tower, which is long like a giraff&#8217;s neck &#8211; see yourself:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF7Csoic-I\/AAAAAAAAA14\/E6h5xWM-0x4\/s1600-h\/IMG_8008.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF7Csoic-I\/AAAAAAAAA14\/E6h5xWM-0x4\/s320\/IMG_8008.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364203917446116322\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>so, here i had to go up and then climb down like this guy with this funny hat like this:<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF49DYlkKI\/AAAAAAAAA0I\/Oi5JJFc0XNU\/s1600-h\/CIMG2731.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF49DYlkKI\/AAAAAAAAA0I\/Oi5JJFc0XNU\/s320\/CIMG2731.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know any other giraffe wearing hats like this when they climb. Or any other animal that i know! Even my friend Muzzy doesn&#8217;t wear it, even though he could. From time to time at least, for example when he goes shopping (:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF5vw8b1pI\/AAAAAAAAA0o\/nIAgxSIrMwQ\/s1600-h\/CIMG2773.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF5vw8b1pI\/AAAAAAAAA0o\/nIAgxSIrMwQ\/s320\/CIMG2773.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364202492674168466\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>So here it&#8217;s me on a mountainbike. Not too many fotografs from me on a bike, because it is very hard to take fotografs at the same time when biking. so, that&#8217;s the only one, really.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF5vhfPADI\/AAAAAAAAA0g\/AZt9NYojmzU\/s1600-h\/CIMG2764.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF5vhfPADI\/AAAAAAAAA0g\/AZt9NYojmzU\/s320\/CIMG2764.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364202488525160498\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>Next after mountainbiking it&#8217;s canoeing. I like canoeing a lot. This is what many giraffes do in Africa when they have free time &#8211; they go canoeing. Of course the rivers are much longer, but this is also quite fun because of the trees on the river. you know, i have never tried this canoe-limbo before. it is quite hard, when you have such a long neck, as we, giraffes do. but it is great fun. So, anyway, here i am, looking for shortest way to the river.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF5vUQI1EI\/AAAAAAAAA0Y\/ljYunvEkdUA\/s1600-h\/CIMG2763.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF5vUQI1EI\/AAAAAAAAA0Y\/ljYunvEkdUA\/s320\/CIMG2763.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364202484972180546\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF49TiY9EI\/AAAAAAAAA0Q\/TvZBaBNr58E\/s1600-h\/IMG_8025.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF49TiY9EI\/AAAAAAAAA0Q\/TvZBaBNr58E\/s320\/IMG_8025.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<p>Also, i wanted to get away quickly because i saw these Vahuri Inglid coming (on the background). Luckily they had to stop and i was ready to go.<br \/>So funny that i have also a friend called Angel. He is an ice-bear. He doesn&#8217;t look much like these angels at all..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6liVhZhI\/AAAAAAAAA1w\/xt1RGJtmKmQ\/s1600-h\/IMG_8030.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6liVhZhI\/AAAAAAAAA1w\/xt1RGJtmKmQ\/s320\/IMG_8030.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364203416465794578\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>Here i am marking a point on the canoeing trip. jei!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6laQKEzI\/AAAAAAAAA1o\/6gozCtFAprM\/s1600-h\/CIMG2925.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6laQKEzI\/AAAAAAAAA1o\/6gozCtFAprM\/s320\/CIMG2925.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364203414295810866\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>.. and here after canoeing on a hiking trail..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF5wMb2zwI\/AAAAAAAAA0w\/xi6uLZGIZOw\/s1600-h\/CIMG2792.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF5wMb2zwI\/AAAAAAAAA0w\/xi6uLZGIZOw\/s320\/CIMG2792.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364202500053716738\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>.. and here i will soon catch this one.

I have never played this crocket before. It is a little hard for me because normally you have a long stick for these wooden balls. since i only have short legs, i had to use my nose instead and it took some time to get it right!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6NPgBhrI\/AAAAAAAAA1Y\/cyFm3hRpBJI\/s1600-h\/CIMG2837.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6NPgBhrI\/AAAAAAAAA1Y\/cyFm3hRpBJI\/s320\/CIMG2837.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364202999092709042\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6NQNjTJI\/AAAAAAAAA1g\/vaPOBoOBElc\/s1600-h\/CIMG2834.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6NQNjTJI\/AAAAAAAAA1g\/vaPOBoOBElc\/s320\/CIMG2834.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364202999283666066\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>So, after many hours of fun, it was finish! I don&#8217;t have any good pictures of finish, because batteries run out. but anyway, i will post a picture of me eating blueberry. because it was so long day, after a while i got a little hungry. so it was good that there were so many blueberries. they don&#8217;t taste quite as well as acacia leaves, but they are all right.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6MIcJeGI\/AAAAAAAAA1A\/cMtxTlGEDw0\/s1600-h\/CIMG2795.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2pCuiJbRFAI\/SnF6MIcJeGI\/AAAAAAAAA1A\/cMtxTlGEDw0\/s320\/CIMG2795.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364202980017535074\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>so, c u next time. hej do!<\/p>\n<div id=\"tweetbutton56\" class=\"tw_button\" style=\"float: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ikeathegiraffe.com%2Fblog%2Fwhere-ikea-goes-xdreaming%2F&amp;via=ikeathegiraffe&amp;text=..where%20Ikea%20goes%20Xdreaming&amp;related=&amp;lang=en&amp;count=horizontal\" class=\"twitter-share-button\"  style=\"width:55px;height:22px;background:transparent url('https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tweet-button\/tweetn.png') no-repeat  0 0;text-align:left;text-indent:-9999px;display:block;\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello there, it&#8217;s me Ikea!
