Frimpong arrived in Switzerland this morning at 11:30 local time. He was in excellent condition both physical and moral, but he was starved, his first words, as soon as he got out from his padded envelope, were “ Might I have some lunch, please? A bottle of cool beer would not be rejected either…”
The brave little bear seemed to have withstood with valiant energy the psychological pressure of 8 days spent inside a dark envelope over lands and oceans.
Messages of congratulation have already arrived from Tony Blair and Vladimir Putin.
Frimpong refuses all interviews, but he will take part in a press conference before leaving Switzerland for Italy.

OCTOBER 20/2004--- Frimpong is still on USA territory, unable to reach Italy, all his hosts and travel agents are frantically trying hard to find a solution. President Bush, after being informed that Frimpong would have not had any right to vote for him, refused any intervention.
OCTOBER 21/2004--- A neutral country offered Frimpong a humanitarian safe-conduct. So in this very moment Frimpong has been able to leave USA and he’s on his way to Switzerland that he hopes to reach in 4 or 5 days.
From Switzerland he will be able to travel to Capri, Italy, his planned destination.
His Italian host is anxiously waiting for him and
Frimpong has put on the top of his suitcase his small swimsuit,
since the weather hopefully will allow him to swim in blue Mediterranean sea, after all these vicissitudes…

OCTOBER 19 /2004 --- Frimpong is ready to leave Oregon and, after packing all his stuff, goes to the Post office.
OCTOBER 19 /2004 --- Frimpong has his first clash with postal bureaucracy, after having travelled without any problem until today.
It seems that between USA and Italy there are bizarre postal limitations and it’s totally forbidden to send from USA to Italy all toys that are not made of simple wood and all shoes.
Frimpong tried to explain to postal clerks that he was not a toy and even less a pair of shoes, and, even though the clerks admitted he was not a shoe, they remained persuaded he was a toy and, being not a wooden one, he would have been confiscated by Italian customs officers.
