Adrian, 11 years old


“I wish to have a playstation3 and games“



Adrian, who is 11 and lives in Basel, did have a little trouble at first deciding between a bike and a playstation as his most heartfelt wish. The playstation won!

On the day Adrian knew our wish grantor was arriving he was so excited he posted himself by the front door to wait. The playstation was unwrapped and operational within 3 minutes. Adrian and his friend Mario were lost in their games when there was a knock at the door.


   
 
Intrigued, the boys looked out and there, larger than they had ever imagined was a Hummer. Adrian could not believe his eyes. He was invited to sit next to the driver and with mum, big brother and friend Mario, off they all went for an hour long drive.

The Hummer driver knew that Adrian is a fan of 50cent Rapper so as they drove the rap music was blaring away.  Another surprise was in store for Adrian: the Hummer stopped in front of Cindys' where they all enjoyed burgers and chips.  A little walk to the local "Gelateria" finished off a fine lunch then Adrian was led to the cinema. Adrian was officially welcomed by the manager of the "Kino" and off they all went to a peek behind the scenes: the production manager showed Adrian how movies were shown and how computerized the whole system was. A stop-off to eat ice-cream, collect some popcorn and Adrian, his friend Mario, big brother and mum settled down to watch the latest Mr. Bean movie, delighting in an eventful day which had been full of surprises.

A big thank you again to Media Markt Basel for their generosity in providing us with a deeply discounted playstation. Many thanks to Mr. Marc Hofer of Emil Frey Basel who thoughtfully provided the Hummer and driver and our thanks to Mr. Thomas Recher at Pathé Cinéma for making a visit to the movies so special.
