Introducing Vasco the Spike

It has been decided. Hedgehog is named Vasco the Spike. Vasco after Vasco da Gama, the great Portuguese explorer. Spike for his 'spikes' (actually he is quite cuddly). Like Vasco da Gama, Vasco the Spike travelled a lot way before settling in Hong Kong for the time being. Vasco the Spike was born in Brooklyn, NY, under the roof of sweetpea. Then he flew to Hong Kong in a small box and reached Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong. In his new home, he found lots of hedgehogs from different parts of the world. One day, he will introduce all his friends to you. He also decided that the capital of hedgehogs is Taipei because he has more friends coming from there than any other places! The runners-up to hedgehog capital included Devon and the internet.

At home, he does find strange stuffs.
Strange thing #1 Mysterious Cranberry Red Sphere
Vasco doesn't quite understand why there is a big big cranberry sphere there. But he knew that like him, the sphere flew in from somewhere far.

Strange thing #2 Lizards on the wall
Near the mysterious sphere, there are also a number of lizards on the wall. Vasco doesn't know what they are doing there. They don't do anything. They are just there. But there are other more lively lizards. There is one living in the kitche. Sometimes he scares the daylight out of Alice, particularly when he does his apparition act. There is another one stationing in the living room. That one hides behind the air-conditioner and usually is more friendly.

There are other strange things in the apartment, but Vasco will introduce them later on.

At the moment, Vasco is getting ready for his next adventure.
