Lahore, Pakistan

I can't describe how happy I was when I found this from my mailbox! Though I was expecting a card from Pakistan, since this was direct swap with my new friend, but still - so awesome! This was also my first card from Pakistan (or even from South Asia!).

Lahore is the 2nd biggest city in Pakistan, its population is about 10 million (twice as much as in the whole Finland...) and it has been ranked as the 2nd Best Tourist Destination in Pakistan. In this card you can see the Badshahi Mosque, which is the 2nd largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia, and the 5th largest in the whole world. It was built in 1673.

If you Google 'Badshahi Mosque' you will see some great photos of it at night!

Thanks so much Imran! :)

Used Finnish stamps from early 2000's

Heya!

Is there anybody who collects used stamps? I used to have many Finnish penpals during the years 2001-2004, so I also got lots of stamps. Since I don't collect them, I decided to cut them all off of envelopes and put them up for trade. I'm not looking for stamps in return, only postcards. :)

If you're interested, take a look at here!

Don't hesitate to contact me if there's something you would like. All of those stamps are from early 2000's and none of them are available in stores anymore.

I've only went through of about 30 percent of those envelopes, so there will be more if people want!

Wisla, Poland & Boca Raton, Florida

My new friend from Poland sent me this amazing view of Wisla! Wisla is a small town in southern Poland, and maybe best-known for being the hometown of ski jumper Adam Malysz. I've been watching ski jumping for many years, and remember how the Finnish commentators always tell that the whole Wisla town is crazy about ski jumping ;)

Thanks so much Iwona!

I also got this fantastic card from Florida; I don't usually show official cards here, but this one is so amazing that I just have to!

I don't get official cards from USA too often (I've sent 21 and got 8!) even though I'd love to, and it always feels that the ones I get are everything else but viewcards. This is just perfect for me! Thanks so much!

Strawberries!

Must have known I forgot something! Another delicious card from Asta... I guess we all love strawberries?! ;D And 'kesä' means summer, in case you were wondering.

Heya!

I haven't uploaded any cards since last Tuesday, sorry about that. I've been really busy and on top of it all I haven't been so much into postcards lately, I don't know why... But I hope I will catch it again soon :)

I've got lots of cards so I'll upload them all in this same post.
