• Helsinki Week 17

  Dear Everyone,

  This week’s question is:

  Do you believe in Santa?

  What’s a challenge / question? Click below https://travellerdudes.com/2025/11/20/game-instructions/

  Merrrrrrry Christmas, everyone! 

  I am soo excited for Christmas! Today I am going to tell you what Secret Santa is, who I got for Secret Santa, and a whole other stuff! Don’t worry if you don’t understand. Everything will make sense in a few paragraphs.

  For those who don’t know what Secret Santa is:

  Secret Santa is a gift-giving game where participants form a group and randomly draw names from a Santa hat. Well, usually it’s a Santa hat. Anyway, they draw names and if you get yourself, then all participants must re-draw. Then, you are supposed to anonymously buy a gift for the person whose name they drew, and they must keep their identity a secret until the gifts are handed out on Christmas day. 

  That’s exactly what we are doing, and I got my dad for Secret Santa. Congratulations! You now something before any of my family members. Woohoo. Anyways, I am soo excited to see who my Secret Santa is! But that will have to wait until Christmas.

  This week, I went to a science museum, and the Paradox Illusions museum. They were both really fun but – excuse me – I forgot what we did there. I only remember that I learnt a lot of things about science, and was blown away by the crazy illusions. I recommend both!

  Now, Barry!

  “Hi! I would like to announce that this human won’t be writing next week because of ‘Christmas stuff’ but I am actually very glad because I hate my job of reporting.”

  Oh. This is rare because Barry is actually happy, but I’m not very happy about the reason. Lazypants.

  “Oi. I’m still here and also, this article is done.”

  Yeah it is, but see you in two weeks!

  Bye.

• Chiang Mai Week 10

  Dear Everyone

  “Hello everyone. In today’s news report, we will report the report that we are supposed to report. So there was a person – “

  Me

  “ – That couldn’t go to the sticky waterfall because she had to practise piano to make up for the day before. So sad! Boohoohoo!”

  Ok, so it’s not that bad because the day before was halloween and we went to the Spooky Toyland Halloween Festival and came back at 11:20 pm so I guess it makes sense? But anyway, the festival was very fun. There was a best costume competition and a magic show. I wore regular clothes and I painted whiskers on my face. Nothing special, but at least Halloween-themed. I got a ton of candy, but my sister thinks she doesn’t have enough 😛 I guess she’s used to piles and piles of candy. 

  The only reason why I have to do piano a lot is because I have an exam soon.

  Anyway, we also went to a sheep farm and a flower farm. The flower farm had the type of flower that we used to have that kept dying. The sheep farm had sheep, obviously, and two alpacas. It also had two baby cats who don’t mind being carried. So… yeah. There’s nothing else in the flower farm and sheep farm. 

  We also also went to a lantern place. (You can tell) I don’t know what it was called but there were lanterns hanging from strings in the sky and we could buy one for 100 baht and write our wished on it to hang up. There are 8 different colours; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and white. I chose green, and my sister chose blue. We wrote our wishes and we drew the symbol of luck, peace and love. 

  We also also also (and lastly) went to the Chiang Mai Night Safari. I bought animal food and went onto the night safari tram. While I was there, I gave the food to the animals, and when there was only a bit left, we wanted to save it for fawns (baby deers) but the giraffe ate it all :). At least the giraffe was full. When I had to leave the night safari, I bought a little llama plush called Llamamamama. I know. Give me a lesson on how to give your plushies a good name. 

  That’s what I did this week other than piano. See you next week!

  Bye
