One more card from Kuwait!


Today I received one more card from wonderful Huda! Card depicts some part of the commercial areas in Kuwait city. Around this area the old souk/market is situated, as well as the street which leads to many government ministries. Also there can be found most of banks and companies' offices. This area was in past full of houses.

Thanks a lot, Huda!

A city-view from Zimbabwe!


My friend Virva sent me a postcard from Zimbabwe! He moved there four and a half years ago from Finland. He likes living there, the nature is beautiful, the people are friendly and the climate is better for him. Now the weather is dry and hot.
Location: Southern Africa
Capital: Harare
Population: 11,651,858
Official languages: English, Chewa, Ndao and 13 other languages
The name "Zimbabwe" can be translated into English as 'Big houses of stones' or 'honorable houses'. Zimbabwe is situated between two of the well known African rivers the Limpopo and the mighty Zambezi. This land is blessed with one of the most idyllic climates in the world. Besides, Zimbabwe is the legendary land of Ophir, the ancient country that enriched the kingdoms of Hiram, Solomon, and Sheba with gold and ivory thousands of years ago.
On the postcard you can see a view from Harare, the capital and the most populous city of Zimbabwe (1,606,000).

Thanks a lot for the wonderful view postcard, Virva!
