Aladdin, Austria

Ok, this will probably be my last post today. I have to get back to work soon! Here's another very special card: a card from the "Les Couleurs Magiques Disney" collection featuring Aladdin! The special thing about this card it that it is a foil card. That is probably why my scanner couldn't do a good job of scanning out the picture nicely. But I guess you can still see the shimmering effect on the card, and I've got to say this has to be one of my favourites! Disney classic animated films never fail to entertain me. And even years after their creation, it's still nice to watch reruns of the same film ;). I really won't mind chasing the Disney foil card collection if its possible.

Garfield, Finland

A very timely reminder from Finland: always stay happy! Admit it, that smile on Garfield's face makes you smile too right? :) In fact, the text of the card translates to "SMILE!... and the world smiles with you!". This card really made my day! This is my second Garfield card from Finland already. I wonder where I can find such cards in Singapore...

Disney, Hong Kong

Here's a very unique card: Mickey and Minnie wandering on the streets of Hong Kong! I really like the old buildings behind the characters because just looking at them seems to transport me back in time to colonial Hong Kong. I guess this card might have been bought from Hong Kong Disneyland, which opened in 2005. I have never visited Hong Kong Disneyland, but I hope to be able to do so one day. I've heard people say it gets very crowded there, but I'm willing to try squeezing with the crowd to check out the place! :)

Garfield, Finland

Here's a cute Garfield card from Finland! Anyone cares to translate the text? Ok, what actually matters more to me is that I received a postcard of one of my favourite cartoon characters. This card really made my day!

These days, work can get so overwhelming that I don't have time to send postcards or update my blog as frequently. And on some days I think I just look like Garfield on the card... It makes me happy when I open my mailbox at the end of the day to receive some postcards though :)

Leuven University Library, Leuven, Belgium

This postcard here shows the Leuven University Library in Belgium. It is part of the Catholic University of Leuven. Founded in 1425 by John IV, duke of Brabant, the University of Leuven is the largest in Belgium.

Tintin postcard, Scotland

This is a postcard from one of my favourite comics, The Adventures of Tintin. I often read the Tintin comic books when I was younger. I've read the English versions and even the German ones!

This card was sent by Katja from Central Scotland, on 11th July 2012. Thank you for the wonderful card Katja!
