Finland

2008-07-03T17:01:00.000-07:00

Hey Kris!
This is a very traditional scene that you (unfortunately) don't see so very often anymore here in Finland. They are maling hay, drying it up by lifting it on those "stakes" you can see in the picture. Finland used to be very dependent on agriculture but nowadays the machines have replace humans (not entirely, but...) I've veen lucky I live in the countryside so I've had the opportunity to be a part of these kind of traditions since infancy. It's the smallest things that make to most important heritage. Happy Postcrossing!

Hi Kristin!
While I'm not living in Cambodia at this point in time, I have spent (and will spend) a lot of time here. Angknor Wat and the other temples are incredible to see in person. I spent 4 years teaching English and even studied the language with Monks. If you can ever travel, Cambodia and Southeast Asia is a great choice!

Hi Kristin,
and greetings from Norway. The trolls are said to live in teh mountains here in Norway. If they go out when the sun is shining, they'll be made to a stone. And since they're said to be big, it's maybe a good thing that they can't stay outside in the sun, at least if you believe in them...... The photo on the stap is of Lynger, a group of 4 islands, situated at the southern coast of Norway, not far away from where I live.

Hi Kristin! This is one of my favorite places to visit mostly because a good friend lives here. She always makes every visit an adventure as we explore the namy streets and neighborhoods. I think our favorite area is Chinatown because we love discovering all the unique and exotic things it has. San Francisco is an amazing city with lots to see and do. Hidden among the fog is the Golden Gate Bridge.

What can I say about the Azores? This fantastie archipelago has 9 islands and "mine" is Sao Miguel, known as "the green island," where the blue of the sea joins the green of the pastures, where we've a lots of edus and in the sea we can see whales and dolphins.

Some books says that we're the top of Atlantis (the lost continent), who knows? One thing is certain, this is the most beautiful and safe place to live.

I'm a 32 yo sociologist and I work with people with mental diseases. I love to cook, to photograph, to read, listen to music, to write.... I hope that you enjoy this card.

This postcard is from Angela in Hollywood, CA, USA. (As a side note, Angela received my address a few weeks after I had received her in a swap. What a small world) Angela writes:

Kristin,

I used to live in Orlando when I was a kid. It was a long time ago though! I now live in Hollywood and work at a church in the biggest tourist area and I have 3 dogs and 2 kids and usually better penmanship! Happy Crossing!
