And before I rush back to work, here is my last card for today....
I got this one back in time, from this guy who went on holdiay in Turkey, and who brought me back some cards...and i recall, my reaction was...this is such a boring postcard...where are the sites??
But today, im more than thankful to him for bringing it to me, since it conributes to the variety, plus ive become to appreciate a various kind of postcards apart from the standard city views...
this one shows some village people in Anatolia...whose word derviation comes from Greek and means something like 'sunrise' or 'the land of the sunrise'.
It is a region of Western Asia, comprising most of the modern republic of Turkey. It is a geographic region bounded by the Black Sea to the north, the Caucasus o the northeast, the Aegan Sea to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Iranian plateau to the east and southeast.
I was just wondering something...regarding Turkey and Russia...when i send mail there, i always use postage as if im sending it within Europe...coz ive never actually considered whether im sending to the European part of Turkey, or the Asian one...same goes with Russia...so i was wondering if the people at the post pay any attention to that or they just see the name of the country, and thats all that matters...coz im more than convinced that i had sent something in the Asian part of Turkey, with a normal stamp...and it had arrived...though i might be wrong...still, i was curious about it...

Milano, Italy
A card from my friend Kate...well, the things with her are status quo compared to the last postcard i had related to her...so nothing new to talk about...
the card here shows the Sforzesco Castle in Milan...it houses several of the city's museum and art gallery collections.
The original construction on the site began in the 14th century by Francesco Sforza nd it was further modified by later generations.
The castle was severely damaged as a result of the allied bombardment of Milan in 1943 during World War II
The best known of the current civic museums is the Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco with an art collection which includes Michelangelo's last sculpture, Mantegna;s Trivulzio Madonna and da Vinci;s Codex Trivulzianus manuscript.
Never read the "Da Vinci Code" book....never had the urge for it...really dont know what should it take so I change my mind and read it actually :)

Zakynthos, Greece
Again, one of the older cards......now, dont mind those white 'clouds' on the card....i once had a water-accident and some of my cards suffered, both temporarily and permanently....this one had the luck to be among the temporary ones.....though i cant say the same about the text on the back....but i too much love the view on it to just throw it away coz its somewhat damaged...
Sent to me by a friend, some 6 years ago.....looks heavenly.....makes you wonder how could such beautiful places exist in this corrupted, totaly gone nuts world....
