2. Blog - Arrival in Germany
(14. December 2010 - Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany)
After a long travel in a big envelope Sydney arrived at my parents' house in Germany. Sadly because of the freezing temperatures she got a cold, but that didn't stop her from playing in the snow and admiring the christmas decorations. ;)

1. Blog - The Beginning
(26. November 2010, Arizona - United States of America)
As an exchange student from Germany in the U.S. I spent "Black Friday" in Arizona. While shopping early in the morning, I saw a small toy store and entered.
This was the moment when I first saw a bunch of cheap dolls in ugly clothes. One of the dolls looked at me sadly and suddenly I had the idea of sending this doll around the world, collecting pictures of her in front of famous sights and landscapes.
I was in a good mood and decided to give this idea a chance. So I bought the doll.
Later that day my hostsister, her aunt and I tried to find a name for the doll and the entire project. We discussed a lot of names ranking from really exotic to traditional. Then finally we had the idea to name her after a city. "London" came to our heads, so did "Paris" and "Berlin". But somehow we didn't feel attached to any of those.
After a long period of thinking an image came to my head. Of beautiful coasts, beaches, reefs and exotic animals.
Then I knew what country I aimed the doll to go to. The country whose capital was also her name - "Sydney".
The first picture we took of her was in front of a casino in Las Vegas.
At that time I didn't know how many people would get attached to a little doll and how far she would go. :)
