Finn or Bjork ?

Finn or Bjork ?, originally uploaded by pyongbricole.

I visited Bern, the unfamous capital of Switzerland, at the end of autumn, to be exact, during HALLOWEN day. The weather was crips and bright, just a great day to have a walk on a fog-free Bern and take some picture of the newly arrived babies bear at BärenPark.

It's a tradition in Bern, since 1513, to keep a bear at the city center. Later on they build a Bear Pit, still in the city center, and late this year, they renovate the pit and make it an ultra modern Bear Park - BärenPark, where people could enjoy the beauty of mascot of the city.

I once visited the park, sometimes last year, but then I learned that the bear I once saw and feed was passed away and replaced by 2 cuties, Finn (male) and Bjork (female). A week before my arrival, my friend who lived there told me, they "baby" is so cute and chubby. A week later, when I got there, it's ain't any baby, it's a mid-size bear. But she is still cute anyway :) oh yeah, I saw only one, the little boy is kind of shy for the moment, not yet get used to his celebrity new life.

But at least, Bjork did a great job, by herself. She did attracked so many hearts, eyes and cameras too, just by taking a nap in the open field of her bear pit :)

Genius

Sometimes I wonder, how genius a person could be? This picture I took onboard Costa Fortuna on my way from Rhodes to Dubrovnik on the wall of thr self-service restaurant. I wonder how, Colombus and friends, been able to draw this map of the world without any help from satelite image. And until now I still can't understand how people could build the giant pyramid without any help of cement or any bulldozers. It proofed one thing, the genuis of human being is beyond the wildest imagination one could has.

Funky Santa

Santa doesn't always mean a classic jolly chubby old man, look at what they, from left to right - Noa, Sebastien, Kim and Regina, found during our cruise with MSC Fantasia (the inaugural cruise), they found themselves a funky Santa. They ran after him, at first, to ask for present but all they got is this souvenir picture with Santa Javier hahaha

I saw the wonder of the world

Just finished our trip of the day visited pyramids in Giza, the Citadel and Great Mosque at Cairo an at last late lunch on the Nile cruise. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Dance

Regina had her first dance with her father. She was so happy, she told me that was the best moment in her life.

My travel bags......

Going for vacation on Sunday, I really want to take my own-handmade bag. I want a stylish medium-size shoulder bag (to put all my belonging and documents) and a roomy cabin luggage. I really like my Fidela bag, and I think it maybe cool to make a bigger version of it for my cabin luggage. And it really turn out very roomy....I just love it so much, who said handmade travel bags can't be stylish;) Look at mine!!!!

Family day around Martigny......(everybody was happy)

Starting with a beautiful sunny day, we did not know what we will do...and suddenly, we think about going to Marche du Grand St.Bernard at Martigny for a quick lunch and followed by a short walk around that area. Before finished the lunch, Sebastien cried to go out side to play at the park. It's one of the chaotic lunch I ever had. So ended up, everybody had a speedy lunch and went to the park right away. While Julien surveyed Regina and Sebastien, I went to the car to pick up the 'other' baby...PATAUD. Once he arrived at the park, he concentrated to the lake in front of park right away....after 5 seconds, he's in the water..... swimming.....ok..in this case at least 3 people happy - Regina, Sebastien and Pataud.

From there, we took a short drive to Pissevache, it's a small cascade in the middle of nowhere. We spent about 10 minutes there, just to enjoy the view and let the dog got himself in the water again. The way he stay in the water, did you think he looks like the brown bear tried to catch fresh water salmon...except his tail is longer ;)

Final destination...Labyrinthe Adventure Parc...this is a small 'theme' park where all the toys are designed based on the labyrinth's rules....complicated and easy to get lost. Everybody enjoy a piece of the game down there except me and Pataud. Me, because I got hurt both of my legs after moving so much the whole day and Pataud because dog is not allowed to enter (even the small one and very friendly one......guess nobody want to clean their poop)
