A Vintage postcard!

Another old card from USA! Here it is:




It shows the Training school Building in Tennessee.

Curiosity about USA:
  • Along with Missouri, Tennessee is the state that has the largest number of neighbors: eight states. The same is confined to Kentucky and Virginia (north), to North Carolina(east), Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi (south), Arkansas and Missouri (west). Tennessee is known as The State of Volunteers, due to the military spirit of its people.


Hope you liked it!

Old Postcard arrived!!!

Yesterday I received this postcard:

It's such a really beautiful and old postcard, so I was sad when I saw that it was a bit damaged on the left :(
In the picture you can see The Nat Goodwin Cottage, Ocean Park, Los Angeles.

Curiosity about USA: 
  • Even though it was sent from NY I'll tell you a curiosity about LA, since the image represents it. Did you know that Los Angeles in Spanish means "The Angels"?

Have a nice day! :)

New York!

USA is unstoppable. Another postcard! This time it comes from New York:


Although the sender is in New York, this postcard shows the Wesley Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
  It says here that is was built on a plan which provides a maximum of light and air to all.

Curiosity about USA:
  • Everyone knows that New York is known for its taxis but did you know that taxi drivers speak, together, 60 different languages?

     
 Talking about taxi drivers, I leave you here a video of a Brazilian driver who imitates Michael Jackson really good. His english is not always right but some of the notes are a lot similar to the original song.


Have a nice day!
