Sweet
Melissa from California sent me an official postcard with a warm message. Melissa
wants to travel more but of course it is expensive so thankfully there is
postcrossing - postcards travel for her! We have much in common! Melissa also loves
to read books, especially about people in different countries and cultures. It
is interesting to learn how similar we all are.
United
States of America is a country North America. The capital is Washington D.C. The
population is about 310,232,863. There are no official languages at federal
level, though English is national language. The United States of America, the
third largest country by size in the world, is a nation of natural, geological,
and cultural diversity. Though a relatively young nation, America is a world economic,
military, and technological leader. The country is also a major source of
entertainment: American TV, Hollywood films, jazz, blues, rock and rap music
are primary ingredients in global popular culture.
There are a
number of pre-Columbian sites on the World Heritage List, though US, New York
in particular, is also known for its skyscrapers.
The anthem
of the USA is here:
On the
postcard you can see New York travel poster, where you can find New York Central Building in Park Avenue in 1930. It is a
35-story building, depicted by Chesley Bonestell, an American painter, designer and illustrator. Nowadays it is called Hemsley Building.
The second
stamp shows Tiffany lamp, a type of lamp with a glass shade made with glass
designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany and his design studio. The most famous was
the stained leaded glass lamp. Tiffany lamps are considered part of the Art
Nouveau movement.

much, Melissa!
