From Brazil...

Friday I received this amazing postcard from Brasilia, capital city of Brazil:



The card shows the National Congress in Brasilia.
On the left stamp, which I really liked, you can see the Abu Simbel's Temples in Egipt and on the right a trumpet.

Curiosity about Brazil:
  • The oldest tree in Brazil is a pink pink with 3020 years found in Vassununga State Park, Santa Rita do Passa Quatro in SP.


Best wishes!

1st postcard from Brazil!!!

Yey! Today arrived my 1st postcard from Brazil, more precisely from São Paulo. This is also the 1st that I received 100% written in Portuguese. Here it is:


In the picture you can see The Carnival Parade, which is a very popular happening known worldwide. In this case, the school was Escola X-9.
On the stamp a Amblyramphus Holosericeus (Scarlet-headed Blackbird) which is an icterid bird of southern South American wetlands.

Curiosity about Brazil:
  • 60% of all millionaires in Brazil live in São Paulo;


Best Wishes!
