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!
