It is almost a year ago that I received a card from Poland . I really like this country so Im always happy when I see a card from it. It has traveled a distance of 1142 km in 11 days. It shows us the Mazury lakes. I have never been there. This summer I will do a roundtrip through Poland but there is so much to see that I can not see the lakes.
More than one month ago, the whole word was in shock by hearing the news of the earthquake in Japan. They are still suffering from this earthquake and there is a lot of damage. I receive today a card from Japan and it reminds me of the images I saw of this disaster. Japan must be a beautiful country and it is a pity that no tourist dare to go to Japan. I really hope that soon people will be able to visit this beautiful country again and that Japan can recover soon. This postcard has traveled a distance of 9,255 km in 9 days. It is an UNESCO card and shows us Yakushima.
Located in the interior of Yaku Island, at the meeting-point of the palaearctic and oriental biotic regions, Yakushima exhibits a rich flora, with some 1,900 species and subspecies, including ancient specimens of the sugi (Japanese cedar). It also contains a remnant of a warm-temperate ancient forest that is unique in this region. Source: http://whc.unesco.org/
Another card from the USA . It has traveled a distance of 5,580 km in 5 days. Finally a "fast" card. I figured out that I didn't receive a card from the east coast for a very long time. It is send by a postcrossing ambassador as well. It shows us an old wool mill in Medway.
It has been a while ago that I received a card from the city Berlin. It has traveled a distance of 622 km in 4 days. It shows us berlin from the Oberbaumbrucke. You can see the Fernsehtrum. I have been there 1,5 years ago and its an amazing view!
It seems that the last postcards I received from the USA , needed a long time before they reached my mailbox. It has traveled a distance of 8,739 km in 51 days. I realized that there are more than 1.000.000 postcards send from the USA! I received 37 cards and it is "my popular" country.
A few months ago, I received this nice card from the USA . It has traveled a distance of 8,133 km in 68 days. I don't know why it took so long but Im happy i still received this card! It shows us the oregan trail.
A very special and original card from... Russia . It has traveled a distance of 2411 km in... 78 days. I think this one got lost during the trip from Russia to my mailbox. It shows us the matreshka and a symbol of the Olympics in... 1980! Very cool! I have been to the Olympic in 2010 and it was amazing!
My third card from Australia was almost two months ago in my mailbox. It has traveled a distance of 16,570 km in 36 days. It shows us the trainstation in Melbourne. It seems to be a meeting place for the locals.
My 30th card from Germany ! It has traveled a distance of 401 km in 10 days. It is not a German card but shows us a Greek impression. I really like the typical blue/white colours in Greece. That is one of the reasons why I put those kind of cards on my wishlist!
It has been a few months ago that I received a card from China . It has traveled a distance of 7,892 km in 17 days. It was send from the no 17 most cards sender from China!
Another card from Taiwan. . This is the 10th card I received from this country! It has traveled a distance of 9,516 km in 6 days. Pretty fast! It is a treasure card and shows us a party of England.
The one I received on the last day of January from Taiwan is not a regular card. It is a red card and those cards will be send when the Chinese new year is coming. It has traveled 9,509 km in 22 days. It's funny that January started and ended with a card from Taiwan.
This one is very special. It's my second card from Latvia . I received the first one almost 2 year ago and it was not even a viewcard. This card has traveled a distance of 1,389 km in 15 days. It shows us the main town Riga. The old town of Riga is an UNESCO world heritage side.
Riga was a major centre of the Hanseatic League, deriving its prosperity in the 13th–15th centuries from the trade with central and eastern Europe. The urban fabric of its medieval centre reflects this prosperity, though most of the earliest buildings were destroyed by fire or war. Riga became an important economic centre in the 19th century, when the suburbs surrounding the medieval town were laid out, first with imposing wooden buildings in neoclassical style and then in Jugendstil . It is generally recognized that Riga has the finest collection of art nouveau buildings in Europe. (source: unesco.org)
I do not receive card from Spain very often. This one has traveled a distance of 1,612 km in 11 days. It shows us different flags from the different parts of Spain.
