Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!<\/p>\n

how are u these days? i am doing gr8, thank you for asking! it is kind of fun, being a giraffe, it seems to me! like for example, i went to this very nice small zoo<\/a> on Muhumaa – another island, i’m afraid, hehe! although a very small for a zoo, they have really fun animals, u know. birds mostly, in fact. for example they have these really big birds with big eyes called ostriches<\/a>!! check it out:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

i have to tell u, i kind of like them already. because of two things: 1. they have a long neck. in fact, their neck is actually longer than mine, giraffe’s. [also – a note to my friend otter – if u read this: if they lower their head, they look kinda like a hoovers!!] but u should not be afraid, i have heard from my other friends giraffes, who live in Africa that they have many friends ostriches actually. and 2. they like running a lot. u know, sometimes my giraffe friends in Africa don’t like ostriches – because the ostriches beat them in the marathon running sometimes, hehe!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

so, here u can see the small ostriches. they are not so scary at all, are they? :) but they have some other birds in the zoo too. like for example nandus and emus. i don’t have fotografs of them, but they have on their homepage<\/a>. they are all ostriches actually, but because they live on other continents, they have a new name. like for example me, i have name Ikea here in Estland, and when i go to Holland my name is Olaf! jei!
\nbut, they also have a big red kangaroo called Gunnar and lots of wallabies there. here’s one wallaby (two actually, i think), because of the small one in the pocket!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

kangaroos are quite fun too! u know why – because they have a pocket! u know, my friend Undu also has this sheep costume and this sheep costume also has a pocket! Undu has a cow inside the pocket! i don’t know why.
\ni have to tell u that i liked this zoo a lot. because these animals that they have are really fun ones. for example, look at this pony over here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

i guess u already know why i like her – she’s half-orange! here i am telling her to come a little bit closer, so i can hop on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

so, here we go!! jei! i guess this is first time ever giraffes have been riding on a horse, hehe. lot’s of fun!! although i have to say that we could not go too far, because of the fences. so, maybe next time when i go travel, i go on a horse. a small one like this?
\nanyways, she was not the only one horse there, there was another one with spots!! have u read about Pippi L\u00e5ngstrump? Pippi L\u00e5ngstrump<\/a>, (like Nils Holgersson)\u00a0is a compulsory reading for everyone in Sweden. because of all the fun things she does. and if u have read that, then u know that she had a white horse with spots. so please meet – a Pippi horse! (say hello!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

well, i guess she is not the horse that the book-Pippi had. so, if there is a Pippi horse, Pippi must be nearby. so i went looking. and i have to tell u, i did not find Pippi, nor the spunk, for that matter. but i did find some huge eggs! very nice big ones in fact. oh, wait! i remembered i have to go now. so, let me know if u have found some nice eggs recently? u can also guess who’s eggs are these: (below) until the, have fun and cu l8r!<\/p>\n
