Postcard Weekly 01-24-2013

That Thursday, one of my co-workers gave me four different Venezuela postcards! He said the cards were just lying around their house so he decided to give them to me. I had no cards from South America yet so Venezuela is my first!

Now, here's a postcard from Canada sent by my high school classmate, Karen. The colors are so beautiful! :D

This beautiful odd-shaped postcard from Portugal shows traditional Portuguese tiles! Isn't it cool? Some people may think "they're just tiles" but I like really it (I'm a civil engineer by profession)!

Finally, a cute postcard from Russia. :)

Goodbye, January

Postcard Weekly 01-23-2013

Wednesday last week, I went home to 5 new postcards!

The day before, I got one postcard from my orgmate Roxy which made me smile. That day, I received FOUR more from her! It made me smile again from ear to ear. :)

Here is Kumamoto Castle (in Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan). I love this postcard because it shows a beautiful structure embraced by the sakura trees. 

Here is Roxy's "favorite scene": Huis Ten Bosch, a Holland-inspired theme park in Sasebo-shi, Nagasaki. According to her, the One Piece Thousand Sunny Ship is "docked" here!

Here's an animated version of Shuri Castle in Okinawa (the southern part of Japan). It looks so festive!

Here's a postcard of Hello Kitty and his boyfriend (According to Roxy, Hello Kitty has a boyfriend in Japan. Cute, right??) with a mouse under the sakura trees! It's my first Hello Kitty postcard and honestly, I've always wanted one.

Roxy's postcards made me realize that aside from those in my bucket list, there's still a bunch of places worth visiting in Japan. :)

Finally, here's the fifth postcard. It's from Belarus. These are puppets by Iva Perinova. They're kind of scary/creepy but I don't get a lot of postcards like this. :)
