A beautiful map postcard from Sweden and it’s my first official postcard from there too.The sender wrote the short nice message;

Greetings from Stockholm,Sweden.
Card shows an old map card from 1749 showing the sea between Sweden and Finland. Wishing you all the best!

Lars,

Thanks you for this wonderful card and for me to learned new things. I did not know that Sweden and Finland are a neighboring country and thank to you,now I know! :)
Now, I’m already thinking of visiting Sweden someday and I hope to bring this bag,(click here small burlap bag to see it). I think it looks cool to take it with me anywhere. :)

Another postcard that I received thru Round robin game and this time,the theme is Bridge. And here is the message from the sender:

Dear Willa,
The warmest greetings to you and your family from Southernmost region of the Russian Far East! This card shows the “capital city” of my home region,the new bridge across the Golden Horn Bay.I hope you like it!
Warmly,
Elena

Thanks,Elena,for sending me this beautiful bridge postcard.
I joined another RR again but this time,the theme is about house,or any part of the house, and I’m glad I have a bunch of postcards showing door stops on it. :)

Another long overdue post for the postcard that I recieved last March. It is from Robinovi,a fellow postcrosser and this card was sent thru official postcrossing site.

Here is their very short message;

Greeting from St. Petersburg. We hope that you enjoy card.Good Luck!
Rubinovi

I always received a lot of postcard featuring beautiful cathedrals like this. One postcrosser told me that,just like limos in st petersburg fl, limos is also available in St. Petersburg,Russia for the visiting tourist to fully enjoy the city.I hope one day I’ll be able to do such. :)

Here’s the message from the sender;

Hello Willa,
Greetings from China!
I’m Jessie and my chinese name is Liu Jie. I live in Qingdao,a seaside city in east China. The church on the card is just the church where I usually worship God on Sunday.(Yes,I’m a Christian) And it was built by Germany about 100 years ago. Then Qingdao was a colony of German. Now it has been protected as a historic building by local government. Ok, hope you like it.
Best wishes And Happy Postcrossing!
LiuJie

Thank you for sending me a beautiful card like this and for sharing me a bit of its history. :)

Another shaped postcard for my collection. I got it thru private swap from the forum in exchange of a meet up card. Here’s the message from the sender;

Hello Willa,

This postcard shows the Orientla Pearl Tower in shanghai. It’s a typical architecture representing the city. I was born & growing up in Shanghai and I love this city.  Magnolia is the city flower. I hope one day you can come to China and visit Shanghai. :)

Wish you a happy 2013 and a full mailbox everyday!Thanks for the swap!

Jingzhi

Thank you,too,Jingzhi,for sending me something as beautiful as this. I’ve never been to China but I do hope one day I’ll be able to visit it. Though, I  have a friend from US, who belong to a group of raleigh nc photographers who went to China a year ago just to take pictures,and I think Shanghai was one of his destination because he also sent me a postcard from there. :)

Anyway, thank you so much again for this beautiful postcard. I like it a lot. :)

This is my seconf official postcard from South Korea and I’m so grateful to have it.When I saw it, I immediately thought that it’ll be cool to use it as real estate business card templates. South Korea is one of so many countries that I’m so fascinate with.  I wanted to know more about their culture and everything else.  Though I know that it is a fine country but I was very surprised that when I cameback here in the Philippines,I noticed that there are so many Korena nationals and you could also see a lot of Korean grocery store.

 But anyway, the sender wrote me a short message;

Hello and Greeting From S. Korea.

A small note to share part of my favorite palace.  Here,it’s quite cold and dark. But it will be unique year of Snake! :)

Cheers-Rob

Also,here’s the information at the back of the postcard regarding the place:

Injeongjeon is representative space of the palace which held important ceremony of the country like a coronation ceremony,a congratulatory ceremony of miniters,meeting with foreign enovys.

Thank you,Rob,and I’m hoping one day,either you visit the Philippines or I will visit South Korea. :)

Another long overdue post on this blog.  This postcard was from Finland and it’s one of my favorite. I received it back in November 2012 but only now that I was able to post it. Here’s the message from the sender;

Postcard from Switzerland and it is so pretty.  Another cool looking postcard I got thru private swap.The sender just spent her first vacation in the Philippines last December and she was so delighted. Here is her message:

I received this postcard from India thru a private swap in exchange of our latest meet up card. It is actually my second time to swap with the sender named,Georgy.We even exchange some email when he found out that I always post something about musical related article and ask  if I could recommend him any good shure sm57 which of course, I did. But anyway, back to the postcard,it featured a group of  Tea Leaf Pluckers working on a field.

Here’s the message from a sender:

Hello Willa,
In the western Ghat Mountain anges,(another UNESCO WHS) we have a few hill stations where tea,coffee and rubber plantations abound. Plantation at Munnar are quite famous & it also is one of the favoured destinations by tourist. Beside these,strawberry too has made a foray here & it’s also exported worldwide.
Regards;
Georgy

Thank you for swapping with me again and thank you for sending me another beautiful postcard. :)

Hello Willa,
Happy Valentine.We have got much snow during last days. It would be a great fun for your boys to be here and do some snowmen.
