Ha! I may even organize a contest of sending, lets say, 5 postcards, to whoever guesses the year from which this postcard dates....seriously....one entry per person...you may be lucky ;-))))))
I think that you can simply cut the communism with a knife on this card....it feels so much present! Probably one of the most unappealing cards ive got, or ive seen at all!
You may wonder then, why am i uploading it here at all...moreover as the TOP entry for today :)
I dont know....regardless of how much i like or dont like a card, i cant throw it away...its a card, and to me it represents something....and this one on some hand may be considered a real treasure since its not a new card, but rather oldish, which you cant find in the shops today....
It was given to me by one of my mum's late friends...i think ive already mentioned her before...there arent many friends of my mum who had given me something from their postcard collection...just this one...
Anyway, just thought you may want to know - Bacău is a small city in Romania, covering a land surface of 41km². It is situated in the historical region of Moldavia, at the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, 300 km north of Bucharest.
On wikipedia, when you open an article about a particular place, at the bottom, there is often a list of people who were born there...and i check that out as well, and see if someone i know is listed....well, on the list of people born in Bacău is Monica Roşu, a famous Romanian gymnast. I was just surprised to read she had actually retired due to an injury.
Ever since i have been a kid, i enjoyed watching gymnastics, and Romanian gymnasts have always been among those nations who had amazed me in their performances...no wonder they scored the golden medal at the Olympics in Athens in 2004 (they didnt do THAT good this year though, and unfortunately, i wasnt even able to watch most of it, coz the TV stations ALWAYS had something more "interesting" to broadcast).
Mentioning this years Olympics and the gymnastics...i still wonder what happened with the investigations about the Chinese gymnasts, where some of them were claimed to be under 16 years of age, which is considered as something unallowed, since participants mustnt be younger than 16...and really, when you look at some of them, they seem more like 11 or 12....not even close to 16....
heh, what an unattractive card, and how inspirational :P

27/28 years is quite old!!

Greetings from Ukraine :)
Hrm. A shot in the dark. 1976.

i will guess at 1974!
and this time i will read the form properly, so i manage to post a comment! :D
I will guess...1983!
It's ulpa(Ula).
There are no automobiles to give us a hint, so I am trying to guess why somebody would think this worthy of a postcard. It has to be the building, that it was a new style. And you say it was a late friend of your Mother's, so I am thinking older, like 1966. Can't you see the Beatles going down this boulevard waving at their admirers?
