Week 6 - Last ones

Not "last ones" actually but because I'll leave at Monday morning these are last which I scanned by myself (I tried to update also all later comes here) And again, even if I'll move in another country ALL postcards will be registered! If you're afraid I'll forget yours, you can send ID-number for me but I'll register it only when I hear I'm also received postcard with it or if postcard is been travelled over 30 days and probably get lost. (I'll not ask you send new one because I think it is one postcard / address. But I don't either say against if you want send another.) And now we go on real business~

All postcards from last week. They are again in random order but I thought it's not matter ^^'

Beautiful postcard from Malbork, Poland. Sender said text on front (Pozdrowienia z Malborka) means "Greetings from Malbork. 

One of my favorites! Wonderful postcard from Netherlands. I heard this card is free card but I don't care about that. I love this postcard because it's definitely perfect for me :')
Welkom thuis means Welcome home
Ik hou van jou means I love you
Bedankt voor de kaart, ik vind het een leuk en het is zo mooi :') dank je, dank je <3

Map of Bielefeld from Germany. Now I have something to take with me if I someday choose to visit there :') Very nice map postcard.

Polish postcard from United Kingdom. Sender told me that text on front (uwielbiam Twój zapach) means "I love your smell" and remind as well that all animals need love ^^

Really sweet and beautiful postcard from Netherlands. I love this style, it's something what we try to keep up with postcrossing, I think. Tradition of snail mail. Like, who keeps e-mails somewhere safe or just stop to look them and think that they looks beautiful. I don't know anybody... But hand written letters and postcards are another story then~

Also one of my favorites! Really beautiful and absolutely cute Puffin postcard from Taiwan :') I saw them before but I never really excepted to get one! So I was pretty suprised when I found this on my mail box. I think I have to add those on my wishlist when I return from Austria and see if there is more of them.

City view postcard from Poland. There is years 1297 and 1997 so... This card is waited 15 years to become sended. (if this is not just re-published of course) Wou, I wonder where it's been a while! Now it's anyway with me here :')

Beautiful postcard from Slovenia (I have no many postcards from there!) showing Slovenia's capital Ljubljana from The Three Bridges (you can see part of them on it) Really beautiful one and I like a lot postcards where is city names written on somewhere.

Nice and sweet Postcard from Germany. Simply message but creative way to tell it.

Nice postcard from Singapore ( I think this is my second from there...) Showing Singapore's Changi Airport. Good choose for me since I travel a lot... And spend time in airports.

Nice multi-view postcard from Canada showing Toronto. I think there is lot of things to see and maybe one day I can visit there... But not soon because I'm afraid of over-sea flights ^^'' And I have still most of European countries left to see.

There all. Thank you all so much and happy Postcrossinf for everybody! Have a nice time and lot of postcards! I'll write last cards now and return then when I'm back in Finland :') Thank you all!

Week 5

Hello~
I'm still not ready with all scanning stuff and others but I came to update last week now... Postcards are now bit random order because I don't remember anymore which one arrivaled on which day but I think it's not matter now ^^'

My first postcrossing postcard from Israel! I used to have pen-pal from there so I have few postcard too but no this one :')



A Tulip postcard from Netherlands. So sweet and lovely~

One of my favorites, bike from Netherlands. My biggest fear but I love still ;') I placed this on my room wall~

AD-postcard from Germany, back side is full of German so I spent nice half of hour trying to figure it out ^^ I like to learn languages and I'm also curious enough to do it by that way~

A wonderful postcard from China (also postmark was Chinese) but with US-id code. My first one showing The Great Wall and it looks so... well, great!

A nice postcard (look, horses~) from Mississippi, United States



A Swap postcard from Minsk, Belarus. And there was a tulips stamps on it! Thank you for sending this :') I'll post answer tomorrow!



A thank you postcard from Ukraine! With cat-stickers (I used them to cover our address now ^^) Thank you so much! I'm so happy you liked postcard which I sent you :')

And that's all, I think. Tomorrow is new post day then. I was also sick last week and because temperature was around -26 celsius, I didn't dare to go outside :/ So I didn't get on my way to post postcards... But I'm not sick anymore so tomorrow I can go to walk outside~
See you!

Monday and Tuesday

Four postcards from two days and all are coming from different places :')

16th of January

There is first one postcard from United States, showing waterfront of Seattle. Seattle is that kind of city that I know it appear but I'm never really thinking where it is... Now I know~

Very nice horse postcard from Lithuania and it's actually showing Horse museum which is in Anyksciai, Lithuania. I like this postcard very much! I should vivsit that museum someday ^^

And third one is from Germany, very lovely view and there is text "Freundschaft, das ist eine Seele in zwei Körpern." on it. ("Friendship is one soul in two bodies"). I would like to take carriage drive there too... 

17th of January was for Canada

I got new flag for my collection~ I took a moment just watching this and thinking what it brings on my mind, Answer is: Icehockey... ;')

Post of 27th - 29th Dec.

Hello again~ I'll put all three days post on same so I don't need to make three small.

(From 27th of December)

I got two postcards like you can see on photo above. First is from Holland and it became immediately of my very favorite postcards! It's just so... perfect. And I was really lucky to got another amazing postcard on same day. That cat came from Japan and I heard photo is taken by photographer "Iwago Mitsuaki" I like this kind of cat photo where cat is natural and maybe he/she is just been around when photographer is being looking for something nice to take photo, I think. (I hope you understand what I tried to say...) 

(From 28th of December)

Also 28th day I got two postcards. That cat one is from Germany (photo by Miroslav Ptácek) Like a day before, I found also this cat postcard very naturel and nice looking. I put it together with next one in my postcard album. They looks very good next to each others ^^
Another one is from Belarus and it became also one of my favorites! I was looking those kind of postcards from Postcrossing gallery and hoped I would get one too. I was so happy when I saw this on my post box ^^

(From 29th of December)

And last ones. Actually I got five postcards but one was from my friend who is in Italy at this moment and
I'll put photo of it later ^^''
In order, first horse postcard is from Germany and sender gave me web address to her homecity's page. (http://www.bochum.de/) It's actually not so far away from there where I lived when I was in Germany ^^ My place was just little closer of border of Netherlands.
Beautiful landscape is from Belarus and it came with greetings form Minsk, capital of Belarus. Next of it is nice postcard from India. Also my first one from there so it makes this also special one.
Last in photo is very beautiful Christmas card form Ukraine. I like it very much and there was little poem(?) inside of it, but I didn't understand text... I took photo and put it there on end. (otherwise I could try to translate this, but I can't make those letters on my laptop and that makes it a bit difficult ^^'')

Thank you everybody for wonderful postcards! Today was last day before New year that I received post so those ones was my last postcards for this year. How wonderful year 2011 was! Even I didn't do lot of post things but I made some adventures and spent really nice time. I wonder what will happen next year?

Post of 19th of Dec.

(Click the photo to make it bigger)

So here is today's post :') I was thinking to take photo of all of them but I noticed it would take more time to load and maybe this is better. Anyway, I'll look something else it this is not working.

Yeah, five postcards today and they are all lovely! If I start from photo's order... First one is Christmas card from Berlin, Germany. (in photo: left up corner) I like this colours very much, it's very warm but not all "bling bling"... Actually just perfect Christmas feeling!

Second card form above line (I think I don't know how to say... it's middle one...) is from Texas, U.S.A. It's showing Bluebonnets (I tried to find Finnish name for those but I didn't find it...) Those flowers are State flowers of Texas and that was new information for me ^^ Had every states their own flowers? I know that most of nations have but I didn't know about states.  Also, I love those small photos on back side of this postcard (I didn't take photo of it so you can't see... I didn't want to put my address here ^^''')

Third postcard is from Estonia! This was second time when I got card from there (first time was swap card). It's Christmas card and there was text inside of it:


"Palju soojust ja õnne te kodule,
palju päikest te tublile perele,
palju rõõmu ja virkust te silmile,
palju toredaid päevi uude aastasse!"


Translated it in Finnish:


Paljon lämpöä ja onnea kotiisi,
paljon aurinkoa sinun kelpo perheellesi,
paljon iloa ja ... kasvoillesi,
paljon mukavia päiviä uuteen vuoteen!
(edelleen saa sitten korjata minua... en muista/tiedä, mikä on "virkust" suomeksi ^^'' Ma räägin natuke eesti keelt aga ma ei tea mis on "virkust" soome keelel. Kas te saaksite mind aidata, palun? Aitäh :')

You see, there is something similar between Finnish and Estonian...

Next one! Really adorable one from Netherlands. "Fijne kerstdagen en een goed 2012" means "Merry Christmas and good 2012" I love this card, it's looks so great with cat and that Christmas decoration... I know what cat is thinking! :'D

And alst but not least (<--- Always wanted to say that!) A great tulips postcard from Netherlands! Oi, how I love tulips cards! I tried to find my favorite from those tulips but I ended to like them all. (Seriously, I feel soemtimes like little child with my tulips addiction... I'm actually 20 years old and mature enough to travel around Europe but its doesn't matter ^^''')

Thank you all so much! This was really great post day. Now I hope that postcard which I sent, will find their home soon. I have some nice new card and I want to send them too~

Bye~!

Post of 13th and 14th of Dec.

Hello~

I have now two postcards on my table. One from yesterday and one which I got today (btw, I always register postcrossing cards on same day when I got them. Usually it's around 10-12 o'clock in Finland's time ^^ but I'm sometimes to busy to write blog so this would be day or two late...)

Anyway, I got really nice postcard with recept of Glühwein (in Finnish: glögi) I think I' write it here! I'll do it in German so it's correct.

Rezept für Glühwein

Zutaten: 3/4 Liter Rotwein (z.B. Gôtes-du-Rhône), 1/4 Liter Wasser, 3 Gewürznelken, 2 Zimtstangen, 2 Stück Sternanis, 1 ungespritzte Zitrone, 1/2 ungespritzte Orange, 3 Esslöffel Zucker

Zubereitung:

Wein und Wasser samt Gewürzen in einen Topf geben. Langsam erhitzen. Nicht kochen! Die Temperatur soll 70 Grad nicht übersteigen. Die Zitrone und die halbe Orange in Scheiben schneiden und hinzufügen. Das Ganze etwa eine Stunde auf dem Feuer lassen. Der Alkohol verdampft. Danach den Glühwein durch ein Sieb geben, und die Schalen zu entfernen. Mit Zucker abschmecken und heiß servieren. Wer es gerne alkoholhaltiger mag, fügt einen Schuß Rum hinzu.

In Finnish / suomeksi (nyt saa huomautella käännösvirheistä, saksa ei todellakaan ole vahvin kieleni...)

Ainekset: 3 / 4 litraa punaviiniä (esim. Côtes-du-Rhône), 1 / 4 litraa vettä, 3 neilikkaa, 2 kanelitankoa, 2 kpl tähtianista, 1 kuorimaton (?) sitruuna, 1 / 2 kuorimaton (?) appelsiini, 3 rkl sokeria

valmistelu:

Viini ja vesi sekoitetaan mausteisiin kattilassa. Lämmitä hitaasti. Älä keitä! Lämpötila ei saisi ylittää 70 astetta. Viipaloi sitruuna ja puoli appelsiinia ja lisää ne kattilaan. Anna keitoksen olla tulella noin tunnin ajan, alkoholi höyrystyy pois. Kaada sitten glögi seulan lävitse ja poista kuoret. Lisää sokeria maun mukaan ja tarjoile lämpimänä. Jos pidät alkoholista, lisää ripaus rommia.

Thank you for sending this!

Then I got today a nice and colorful postcard from Portugal. It is sent from Braga, which is city in North part of Portugal, but this card is showing Lisboa, capital of Portugal, and its oldest part, Alfama. Thank you for this!

That's all I think. See you!

Just update

Three of my cards arrived today! First one to Malaysia (I tried all the time wrote it in Finnish "Malesia"). It was on travelling 8 days which was actually less than I expected. I thought it would take more than ten days to go there. But better like this! It was also quite suprise when I noticed it =) This was also first time when I sent postcard to Malaysia.
Next was to Netherlands and third to France. Now Netherlands is number one on my stats (that one which tells how much I sent and received... I think you know, that on Postcrossing ^^'') So now Netherlands: sent 21 / received 16. Second Germany with  26 / 10 so there is only one postcard difference.

Thank you for you all! I'm glad that you liked those postcards :')

So, I took three new address and I have now postcards going to travel to Australia, Germany and Netherlands. Let's see when they will find home~

That's all. I'm new with this blog so I'm not sure yet what to speak about... Oh! I noticed it is December and it mean... Christmas card time! Ou, Finnish post will goes crazy so I have to be carefull to sent all Holiday wishes early enough.
