United Buddy Bears

Buddy Bears are big painted bear sculptures from Berlin, firstly created in 2001. The first activities were presented during the Buddy Bear Berlin Show, when the artists painted about 350 bears to decorate the streets of Berlin. The United Buddy Bears is an international project, which chooses artists from the individual countries and is a platform even for small and poor countries. On their global tour, the "United Buddy Bears" promote peace, love, tolerance and international understanding; the entry to the exhibitions is always free.


"Little Tiger and Little Bear" stamps

In February I received this great card with the "Little Tiger and Little Bear" characters. Now the senders, a wonderful couple from Germany, decided to make me happy and send a hand-made card with bears and also two special stamps with the same heroes, issued recently.
