4. Monument to Adam Mickiewicz in Minsk, Mahilyou, Belarus

Hello! Today's postcard is from Mahilyou in Belarus. The city is third by population in the country. But let me say something about the photo on the postcards - it shows the moument to Adam Mickiewicz in Minsk. Adam Mickiewicz was a very famous Polish poet. He wrote e.x 'Pan Tadeusz', 'Dziady', 'Konrad Wallenrod' and many, many more. Here in Poland students have to read his poetry, because they were and are very important to us, for example during the January Uprising etc., the poems are also very valuable in themselves. I really recommend you to read something by Adam Mickiewicz if you never have. I don't really know if you'll like it but... it's worth knowing.

The postcard itself is very nice and it's the first one which was sooo long (you probably can't see it on this picture below but the postcard is like 2,5 times longer than higher).

I got it 28.06.2011 it was sent on 21.06. I heard that postcards from Belarus are delivered very long, so it was a real surprise!

3. Iowa City, USA

Hi! Today I'm showing you guys a postcard from USA, exactly from Iowa City. It was sent 15.10.2010 and I received it on 28th October. The postcard is simple in its form. It shows the Iowa State Capitol, located in Des Moines, the capital of Iowa. It houses Iowa Senate, Iowa House of Representatives, the Office of the Governor,  and Offices of the Attorney General, Auditor, Treasurer and Secretary of State, as Wikipedia says. 

2. Shizuoka, Japan

Hi! Today's postcard was also sent long time ago - 18.09.2010 and I got it 29.09 - quite fast like for such a long distance ;) Anyway, the photo on the postcard show the Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain of Japan. Chihiro writes that it can also be seen from her house if the weather is nice. She also wrote that it was 26 Celsius degrees when she was writing the postcard ;)

Anyway, it's one of my fave postcard I've ever seen! It's simple, not really embellished with not necessery thing. You just see the mountain and some orange-ish trees. And beautiful navy-blue sky.

1. Dublin, Ireland

Hello there!

This is my first note in here. I want to put photos of my postcrossing postcards that I received and maybe write something about them. Also, I may write something about Bookcrossing but that's not the topic I really know for the time being. I'm fascinated with the idea of Travelling Notebooks and will probably soon participate this ;)

OK, so here is the first postcard that I received. It's from Dublin, Ireland. It was posted 20.09.2010 and I got it 23.09 so it was really fast :) Anyway,it's quite nice but I think there is too much metal stuff around the river. I've never been to Ireland and I don't really know if I'd go there if I saw only this picture. But I, of course, know that part of River Liffey is not the whole country.
