United Buddy Bears

 During our quick trip to Kuala Lumpur we managed to see The United Buddy Bears exhibition with more than 140 two metre tall fibreglass bears.
Under the motto: We have to get to know each other better, more than 140 countries acknowledged by the United Nations are represented, promoting tolerance, international understanding and the  concept of different nations and cultures living in peace and harmony. The bears stand hand in hand in the street.

A gift shop was available to purchase United Buddy Bear merchandise with funds going to children in need.
Here is the  miniature bear (22 cm high) that travelled home with us.The bear is called Bärenbär and is by the Swiss artist Sabeth Holland
