http://orangedreamerspostcards.blogspot.com/2009/05/china-fragrant-hills-in-beijing.html
Orange Dreamer's Postcards :). Tuesday, May 12, 2009. China - Fragrant Hills in Beijing. Or maybe because people participating in the unofficial exchange are more serious about collecting cards? Anyway, I'm not going to give up sending officials, because that's what's actually postcrossing about, the forum is just a nice addition. And just because I love being surprised :). Fragrant Hills Park is recognized as one of the major tourist attractions in Beijing. When autumn arrives, the natural scenery i...

Orange Dreamer's Postcards :). Tuesday, May 12, 2009. I usually choose cards that may be interesting for the readers of my blog (at least I hope so) for the top of my updates :) This time some of you may think that I've chosen card that isn't very special in any way. But for me it's very special and I can explain you the reasons ;) I received this card from Aleksandra. Who has made her best to find a nice postcard showing her city. What happens if Orange Dreamer goes to East Ukraine? Then she started tel...

http://orangedreamerspostcards.blogspot.com/2009/05/malaysia-kuala-lumpur.html
Orange Dreamer's Postcards :). Monday, May 11, 2009. Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur. I received 3 wonderful Malaysian cards in a private swap from imajica. This one is my first card from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. Did you know that the name of this city means "muddy confluence" in Malay language? The Sultan Abdul Samad Building. Topped by a shiny copper dome and a 40m high clock tower, it is a major landmark in the city. It serves as the backdrop for important events such as the National Day Par...

Orange Dreamer's Postcards :). Thursday, May 14, 2009. I received this fantastic card in a swap from Karina :) As I've written in my previous post about Brazil, most of cards coming from this country show São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro and that I'm always glad to see another Brazilian cities :) But Brasília isn't just another "not so popular" place in Brazil - it's actually the country's capital!

Orange Dreamer's Postcards :): Finland - a painting by Martti Ranttila (FI-519535)
http://orangedreamerspostcards.blogspot.com/2009/05/finland-painting-by-martti-ranttila-fi.html
Orange Dreamer's Postcards :). Saturday, May 16, 2009. Finland - a painting by Martti Ranttila (FI-519535). I'm a complete ignorant when it comes to art, but I find it interesting to see pieces of art from different countries sometimes. It gives me a bit better idea about this country's culture and sometimes also history. Unfortunately, sometimes it's hard to find any further information about the artists (like in this case), probably because they're not really known outside their countries.

Orange Dreamer's Postcards :): Croatia - Samobor
http://orangedreamerspostcards.blogspot.com/2009/05/croatia-samobor.html
Orange Dreamer's Postcards :). Saturday, May 16, 2009. I received this beautiful card from Rumiko. In the Slavic countries RR :) I haven't heard of Samobor before, but it seems to be a nice and cosy town, although it's very close to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. According to the sender, Samobor is famous for Croatian cakes called kremšnite, made of custard and flaky pastry - that's where they come from :). And I have one more reason to like this card. You want to guess what it is? Waiting anxiously for...

Orange Dreamer's Postcards :). Thursday, April 30, 2009. I received this wonderful card from Helen. In the Slavic countries RR :) It shows the Transfiguration cathedral (which is called "The Saviour Cathedral" on the English Wikipedia. I just wonder, which version is correct? Chernihiv, (Ukrainian: Чернігів), is a historic city in northern Ukraine. It is the administrative center of the Chernihiv Oblast (province). The estimated population of the city is around 299,000 (as of 2006). I'm still very far aw...

Orange Dreamer's Postcards :). Thursday, May 14, 2009. UK - Hitchin (GB-74207). It's always nice to receive cards from places that aren't very well-known, because it's a good opportunity to improve my knowledge in geography and history :) Well, I've already written my final exams in these subjects, but I hope I'll never lose my desire to learn something new :). There are two more things that I really like about this card - the orange frame and wonderful railway related stamp :). View my complete profile.
