1st postcard of the week! Finally!!!!

This week has been a really sad one for me and my mailbox. I've only received this one so far. It comes from Warsaw, the capital city of Poland.




The picture shows the Palace of Culture and Science.

Curiosity about Poland:
  •  The landscape of Poland consists almost entirely of lowland plains of northern Europe, with an average elevation of 173 meters, though the Sudetes and the Carpathians are the southern border.


Best Wishes!

Another Monday Surprise!

I think that, for now on, the act of going to the mailbox in a Monday will be called M.S, since we'll never know how many of them are hided there (we could even start making bets ;P)... Well, this time they were "only" 3. And all official. Check them below:

Curiosity about Poland:
  • Poland is the birthplace of many distinguished personalities like Mikołaj Kopernik, Fryderyk Chopin, Maria Skłodowska Curie, and Pope John Paul II.

  
Curiosity about Finland:
  •  Linus Torvalds (linux creator) is Finnish.
 (this is one of my favorites because it's image and stamp are gorgeous and the person who wrote was kind enough to share a little bit of her way of living in his country... What more could I ask?)




 Curiosity about Netherlands:
  • To change a bit there are, after the postcard and the stamp, images of Netherlands architecture. Don't forget to see because it's really worthy to have a look.

 


Now the architecture pictures:





Hope you like this little change.

Best wishes!
