Belgrade, Serbia

Long time , no see  as not many cards have arrived these weeks . Now that I got a few I decide to update in order not to be totally behind with this . I'll start with a card from a city that I always plan to visit but I always fail to do so ! I was supposed to go there in September but it didn't work out !! But Ana did instead of me and like always remembered to drop me one card . Thanks dear ~I know I owe you ;-)

Nice , France

An official from France and especially from the beautiful city of Nice. It located in the southern part of France in the Mediterranean coast , in French Riviera very close to Italian border and Monaco !!

Stonington ( Maine ), USA

Official card from USA.  Excellent view from the fishing village of Stonington in the state of Maine

The first people to live on Deer Isle, as early as 6,100 years ago, were Native Americans. Their descendants were known to early French explorers as Etchemins; some continued to live on the island even after Anglo-Americans established settlements. The first European to venture into the region was Estevan Gomez, a Portuguese working for the Spanish Crown. Gomez sailed his ship La Anunciada up Eggemoggin Reach, which divides Deer Isle from the mainland. The French, however, would be the most active in the region, establishing a fort in Castine and intermarrying with Abenaki natives. A body buried in full armor (believed to be French) was discovered on nearby Campbell Island. As of the census of 2000, there were 1,152 people, 502 households, and 326 families residing in the town.

Funny card :)

An official one from Japan. Card is from "fuwamoco friends" series and it looks so typical Japanese :) Cutie 

... and a cover

Last one for today a cover. Since I'm not really collecting them , I will just upload if I get any every now and then . It is not something extraordinary except that it is a letter from a very dear friend that we know each other for almost 20 years now ( * age alert * :D ). We never got the chance to meet so far ( hopefully we will in the future ) but I really think I know him after all these years of writing letter to each other. Even after some years of silence ( as years go by you simply can't keep at the same pace as when you were teenager ) we found each other again ( thanks to social media networks :D ) and decided to go back to letter writing !! 

Danshui, Taiwan

Hello again everybody ! A small update to show you the incoming mail for this week so far . Let's start with an official one from Taiwan. It depicts Danshui (or Tamsui ) which is a sea side district of New Taipei City , named after Tamsui River (means fresh water ).. Located in the northern part of the island it is popular as site for viewing the sunset in to the Taiwan strait (and that's what card is about ). So I guess that mountain slightly shown at the back is in mainland China , well maybe :D Thanks to Cathy ( or 多謝  :D)

Beijing , China

2nd card is from a private swap I had almost forgot it was arranged , you know sometimes mail from/to China can be really slow This particular one needed two months to arrive. It comes from Beijing and is showing the Palace Museum. It is situated in the center of the city , in Forbidden City it was established in 1925 and it is China's biggest museum. Many thanks to Roger or I'd better say 謝謝 :)
