The big EYE


This is one of my favorites add cards and is about Greece  www.visitgreece.gr. I couldn't find the site in fact, but I found some videos in YouTube. EXPLORE your senses!

Last postcard for today - Argentina





I forgot I have aranged a private swap with a girl from Argentina, it was so long ago! But in this way the surprise was full :) I even aranged private swap with anouther girl from Argentina (which I'm happy I've done because I'll have two cards from Argentina this way and I'm expecting the othe one with a lot of impatience!) I like the picture so much and especialy I'm happy that there is an explanation on its back about each picture . 

So these are the places (in order of appearence):

1. Hotel Llao Llao - Bariloche - Rio Negro
2. Mar del Plata - Buenos Aires Province
3. A field with sunflawers in la Pampa 
4. Bandera Rosario's monument - Santa Fe
5. Iguazu Waterfalls - Misiones
6. Perito Moreno glacier- Santa Cruz
7. Los Cardones National Park- Salta
8. Ushuaia - Tierra del Fuego (The land of fire - I'm not exactly sure how is the name in english)
9. El Palmar National Park- Entre Rios

The girl is from Trelew, so I'll check Trelew in the map.

A unique card from Singapore


The picture is wanderfull and I like also the little pictures on the back and the stamp. I'm always happy about different cards and new things :)

The Capital Brasilia




I'm so happy that I finaly received this card. The guy who sent it asked me if I received it but I wasn't. We used to study about the buildings in Brasilia in our history of modern architecture class, so I'm happy that I have a postcard with these famous buildings now. :)

The buildings are:
The National Congress
The Temple of Legiao da Boa Vontade
The Itamaraty Palace
The National Theatre
P.s.: I can't point Brasilia in the Where I've Been application - it's impossible - after all this is the capital!

Nagoya Castle in Aichi



I haven't received any cards for around two weeks, which made so unhappy, but luckily I've received four cards today. This is the first one. This is the Nagoya Castle in Aichi. It has been home of the Owari Tokugawa clan of the Tokugawa family. Tokugawa is among the few things I know about Japan history in fact. May be because I've read some books for this period. Anyway, the castle looks so strange with the two skyscapers in the back. And I'm still curious how the textfield in the postcard is on the right. Looks so different! Thank you, Yukari!
