Postcard - Croatia



Split (Spalato in Italian) is the largest Dalmatian city, the second-largest urban centre in Croatia, and the seat of Split-Dalmatia County. The city is located on the shores of the Mediterranean, more specifically on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, spreading over a central peninsula and its surroundings, with its metropolitan area including the many surrounding seaside towns as well. An intraregional transport hub, the city is a link to the numerous surrounding Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula, as well as a popular tourist destination.

Split is also one of the oldest cities in the area, and is traditionally considered just over 1,700 years old, while archaeological research relating to the ancient Greek colony of Aspálathos (6th century BC) establishes the city as being several hundred years older.






Trogir (Latin: Tragurium; Greek: Τρογκίρ, Trogkir; Italian: Traù; Hungarian: Trau) is a historic town and harbour on the Adriatic coast in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia, with a population of 12,995 (2001)[1] and a total municipality population of 13,322 (2001). The historic city of Trogir is situated on a small island between the Croatian mainland and the island of Čiovo.[2] It lies 27 kilometres west of the city of Split.

Since 1997, the historic centre of Trogir has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.[3]


P.S: Thank you very much Milos!

The National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is located in Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China). The Chinese name's direct translation is: National Pater Patriae memorial Hall. It is a memorial to the Republic of China's National Father, Dr.Sun Yat-sen, and was completed on May 16, 1972. As the hall was opened in the very beginning, its main displays were revolutionary events of the national father at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Recently it became a multi-purpose social, educational and cultural center for the Taiwanese public.

Moscow, Russia.





A nice postcard from Moscow, Russia. One of my favourite country.

Actually, this is a very nice card of Mayakovskaya Station (Маяковская) on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line (Замоскворецкая линия), Line 2 of Moscow Metro(Russian: Московский метрополитен, Moskovskiy metropoliten). Considered to be one of
the most beautiful in the system, it is one of the finest examples of pre-World War II
Stalinist Architecture making it one of the most famous Metro stations in the world.
The name as well as the design is a reference to Futurism and its prominent Russian
exponent Vladimir Mayakovsky.

Postage Prepaid Postcard Series No. 21 - “China Post – Hongkong Post – Macao Post Joint Issue on Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge” (Air Mail) will be issued on 24 March 2010 to commemorate the 100th day since commencement of the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge on 15 December 2009.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is an unprecedented important strategic road corridor which links up Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao in the Pearl River Delta, China. It provides opportunities for significant social and economic development in these areas for the coming decades and is targeted to open in 2015/2016.

On the Postcard, Bauhinia (the city flower of Hong Kong), Bougainvillea (the city flower of Zhuhai) and Lotus (the city flower of Macau) are depicted to represent the three cities. The rainbow-like contours echo the cables of the Bridge and symbolise a bright future for the development and collaboration across the three cities.

Kazakhstan



A nice card from Almaty, Kazakhstan

Almaty (Kazakh: Алматы / Almatı / الماتى), formerly known as Alma-Ata (Russian: Алма-Ата, until 1992) and Verny (Russian: Верный, until 1921), is the largest city in Kazakhstan, with a population of 1,348,500 (as of 1 September 2008),[2] which represents 9% of the population of the country.

It was the capital of Kazakhstan (and its predecessor, the Kazakh SSR) from 1929 to 1997. Despite losing its status as the capital to Astana, Almaty remains the major commercial center of Kazakhstan.
