This is my 65th postcard, and the 7th from the Netherlands. Well, I've presented Marilyn Monroe many times for you guys so I don't wanna do it again. I can tell you why just Marilyn Monroe. I've two favorite actresses: Audrey Hepburn (you've seen her before) and this amazing woman, Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn was just really talented woman and even though she had really terrible childhood she believed in her dreams. Everyone who has seen Marilyn's movies can say that she really enjoyed her job! Thank you really much Kim (oi) for this wonderful Marilyn Monroe! I haven't had this card before and this is a very nice card in my collection ;-)

Hey there! :-)

I'm really sorry that I haven't had time to update my blogs. I've had lots of school works to do. I'm really happy right now. I had the last exam on this morning. Yep, I just had a terrible exam week (luckily the next one is on February 2011!). And now I can write some posts again because I have finally time for you guys! :-)

This is my 64th postcard, and the 4th card from Taiwan. Thank you Ying Chih (smilewinter) for this lovely postcard! It's really sweet. Are they eating milk shake or am I right?! I haven't seen that kind of drink before :-))

P.S. I really hope you can sometimes travel here. This is a really beautiful place to travel especially on Autumn with all those yellow, red and golden leaves!

This is my 63rd postcard, and the 13rd card from the United States of America. Those photos are taken in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Wisconsin. I think that the backside of the card says everything: "Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a mosaic where nature and history blend to create a work of art. Whether in search of green space to enjoy a leisurely bike ride, the natural world for a hike of discovery, or the valley's legacy of transportation abroad the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, there is something here for everyone. Discover the many secrets that the Cuyahoga Valley has to share." Thank you Nora (kanzenbn)! That place looks very peaceful place and fantastic plase to travel. Thank you!

This is my 62nd postcard, and the 5th card from Germany. That beautiful photo is taken in Lepizig by Klaus Ender. Thank you Katrin (toivoton)! I really love that photo, though I hate spiders! All the colours are really warm and fantastic. The lightning is also really interesting. I like very much the background with all the reflections of water. Thank you!

P.S. Katrin, I'm really happy that you have learned Finnish. It's a really difficult language to foreigners. I really hope that you can visit here some day ;-)

This is my 61st postcard, and the 6th from the Netherlands. Thank you really, really much L.M.Lang (tara56) for this lovely postcard! I'm really excited that you read that I'm interested in royal families. It makes me really happy! So, thatäs the royal family of the Netherlands. Their Queen Beatrix I is in the middle.

P.S. Now I have cards from Sweden and Holland.

This is my 60th postcard, and the first card from Hungary. Its population is 1,721,556. Budapest comprises about 202.8 square miles (525,16 sq km). Europe's second longest river, Danube, shares the city to Buda and Pest. Thank you Lili (Lilcsi) for this postcard! My friend visited in Budapest on August and she said that it's a wonderful city to travel. I can believe it. It seems really friendly and beautiful place with all the museums and parks. I want to travel there some day (well, it seems that I would love to travel around the world :-)). So, thank you!

My 59th postcard, and the 5th from the Netherlands. Those pictures are taken in North Wales. Mountains are called Moel Siabod (2860 ft), Yr Aran (2541 ft), Snowdon (3560 ft), Tryfan (3010 ft) and Cader Idris (2927 ft). Thank you Anne (annievoyage) for this interesting postcard! That landscape looks really beautiful with all those colours. It would be lovely to hike there. Think the place is like Lapland (in North Finland). I haven't been there but I have heard that it looks really beatiful :)

P.S. I'm very sorry that I'm late with these postcards. I quited blogging for a while because I have had lots of school works to do. I've hurry at this time (I have exam week at next week and 9.-14.10. I'm in Barcelona - finally! It has been my biggest dream ever!) so that's why these posts are really short...

My 58th postcard, and the second from Spain. Photos are by D.G. Olshavsky. That building is called Greater Columbus Convention Center. It's located in downtown Columbus, Ohio, United States. It has opened in March 1993. The Convention Center was designed by Peter Eisenman. Center contains 216,000 square feet of exhibit space, 54 meeting rooms and a 25,000 square foot Grand Ballroom. The facility is conveniently located to hotels, restaurants, shopping and the Columbus business district. Thank you Estela (edo) for this interesting postcard! I really love the architecture :-)

58. postikorttini, toinen Espanjasta saatu kortti. Valokuvat on ottanut D.G. Olshavsky. Kyseinen rakennus on nimeltään Greater Columbus Convention Center. Se sijaitsee Columbuksen keskustassa, Ohiossa, Yhdysvalloissa. Se on avattu maaliskuussa, 1993. Convention Centerin (kokouskeskuksen) on suunnitellut Peter Eisenman. Keskus sisältää 20,000 neliömetrin näyttelytilat, 54 kokoushuonetta ja 2,320 neliömetrin kokoisen juhlasalin. Laitos sijaitsee mukavasti hotellien, ravintoloiden, shoppailupaikkojen ja Columbuksen bisnesalueiden lähettyvillä. Kiitos Estela (edo) mielenkiintoisesta postikortista! Rakastan todella tuon rakennuksen arkkitehtuuria :-)

Mitä mieltä olette, pidänkö blogini kaksikielisenä vai siirrynkö käyttämään pelkästään englantia?

My 57th postcard, and the 12th from the United States of America. This picture is taken in Colorado by Taimur Mahmood. I haven't introduced Colorado yet - here you are. Colorado is a state in the middle of the United States which capital is Denver. Its population is 5,025,00 (here, in Finland, the population is about 5,300,000). The state comprises about 104,000 square miles (270,000 sq km). It is noted for its mountains, beautiful landscapes, plains, and canyons. Colorado is also quite known from sport. The weather in Colorado is really variable. It would be amazing to travel to Colorado! Thank you Nicole (nhetzer) for this really beautiful postcard! I like its greenish colors. I also like a fuzzy background and its huge mountains.

57. postikorttini, kahdestoista Yhdysvalloista saatu kortti. Valokuvan on ottanut Taimur Mahmood Coloradossa. En ole vielä esitellyt Coloradoa, joten tässä se nyt on. Colorado on osavaltio keskellä Valtoja. Sen pääkaupunki on Denver. Coloradon väkiluku on 5,025,000 asukasta. Osavaltion pinta-ala on noin 270,000 neliökilometriä (104,000 neliömailia). Se tunnetaan vuoristaan, kauniista maisemistaan, tasangoistaan ja kanjoneistaan. Colorado on myös melko tunnettu urheilustaan. Sää Coloradossa on todella vaihteleva. Olisi mahtavaa matkustaa Coloradoon! Kiitos Nicole (nhetzer) todella kauniista postikortista! Pidän sen vihertävistä väreistä, myös sumeasta taustasta ja sen valtavista vuorista.
