22 December 2009 - NL - 265276 - Nootdorp

It is nice to receive a card from your own country. The last time was three months ago and I was happy when I saw a card from the Netherlands in my mailbox. It has travelled a distance of 48 kms in 5 days. A little bit long for a card from the Netherlands but the postdelivery was very busy because of all those christmascards!

19 December 2009 - US - 542877 - Greenwood

My last card I received on the 19the of December is this card from the USA . It has travelled a distance of 7,481 kms in 47 days. Another card what is might be lost I guess.

I was very disappointed when I receive this card. Normally I wont say this but because the sender knows the English language, I didn't like it that there is nothing written on the back...I don't even know where these gulf coast is situated!

I received a few cards on the 19 December of 2009. This one from China as well. I think it has been stuck somewhere because it has travelled a distance of 9,165 kms in 52 days (!). Normally postcards from China are a lot faster.



The card shows us a Chinese drawing. On the back there were some nice stamps from the Asian Games! Cool!

On 19 December 2009, I received my second card from Malaysia in one week. It has travelled a distance of 10,180 kms in 10 days.

The sender gave me some compliment about my postcrossing blog and that is zo well-organised. I think this is one of the best ways to share the postcards with others and show which one you already have and which you don't have.

The card is very special on the back because a little 7 year old boy send this one and he has made a few drawings. Really cute! The front shows us some art from Tartu.

Slavic Countries RR - Group 4 - Moskou

Most of the time when you received cards from Russia . It was send via the Slavic Countries Round Robin by Kaurry. It is a lovely panoramic card from Kremlin, which I didn't had in my collection. I can't imagine that I have actually being there. But it's beautiful.

Inextricably linked to all the most important historical and political events in Russia since the 13th century, the Kremlin (built between the 14th and 17th centuries by outstanding Russian and foreign architects) was the residence of the Great Prince and also a religious centre. At the foot of its ramparts, on Red Square, St Basil's Basilica is one of the most beautiful Russian Orthodox monuments.
