Beograd – Belgrade

This is my first entry of Serbia postcards, and I haven’t got many postcards from there anyway but I received this snowy card a couple of months ago and I thought I could put it with another Belgrade card I received sometime last year. As you know Belgrade is the capital of Serbia, and was also the capital of Yugoslavia and Serbia-Montenegro in the past… and it’s obviously one of the oldest cities in Europe.

From BraveJ. This artistic atmosphere with untouched snow is in Skadarlija, an old part of Belgrade with its bohemian features from the late 19th century where its taverns were frequently visited by the city’s famous writers, actors, musicians and painters. There are still many restaurants here that serve traditional food and where you can hear traditional music… well it does sound like a perfect hangout place for me :)

From Tram. This vintage reprint card shows the Novi Dvor, or the New Royal Palace of Belgrade, as it used to be. Today it houses the Presidency of Serbia. Novi Dvor was built between 1913 and 1918 as official royal court of Serbia.

Snow in Finland

I was watching Eurovision final last night.. and… not that I expected anyone to win (well, Estonia was good though) but why the hell is everyone in the world getting crazy over this Norwegian boy?????? Hmm I don’t feel like commenting, as much I don’t feel like writing much today :P so… I chose some postcards that don’t need me to write much. Haha. What would that be? You see.. these famous snowy scenes in Finland. I mean, yes, I love snow and snowy views are beautiful I wish I could be in those places, BUT when I receive such postcards, I can’t get any information about it (like what? When? Where? Why?) You know, except from it’s a view in Finland.. somewhere…. and that’s all. Hmm, nevermind, we’ll just take a look at the pictures then.

Swiss mountains

My first entry of Switzerland.. and here are some typical Swiss views, with beautiful mountains. Or precisely, snowy mountains :)

From Bonaire. Eh.. she wrote in Swiss German in this card, and my sel-translation isn’t something to be written in public ;) hahaha. Anyway, Hinwil is located in Zürich, and home of the BMW Sauber F1 team.

From Gioia. She took this picture during her winter holiday.. and yes, this is a photo-postcard but nicely made.. and actually more sharper than this blur scanned image.. blame my old scanner.

From Never_summer. Ha, and I can’t remember which scanner I used to scan this image.. either my old dying scanner, or one in my uni computer lab :P Otherwise this postcards is very beautiful! Look at the deserted pretty farmhouse, it does look lonely, but with a beautiful scenery like this, neighbors aren’t too necessary!:P

From Zasa. With more and more Swiss mountains!
