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
National anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UCNXIaVTiU
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!
