When I read the appreciation post on Farah's blog, I realized I haven't done it for a while! I kept receiving postcards and they really make me happy :)

So, here we go!

Yang pertama, dari Sally! :D

Suka sangat gambar kat poskad ni ^_^ Colorful! Bila tengok poskad ni, saya teringat kat i-City, warna-warni jugak kan. Poskad ni Taiwan mari, Sally beli kat sana. Saya belum sampai Taiwan, insyAllah one fine day. i-City pun saya tak sampai lagi. Haha.

Kawan Taiwan pun excited asyik offer diri nak jadi guide kalau saya dan kawan-kawan nak ke sana. Yang paling menarik, bila dia cakap dia teringin nak masuk masjid kat Taiwan tu. Kira kalau kitorang datang sana, ada lah jugak sebab dia nak ke situ. :)

Next one - from Maryam Nabihah.

Kalau korang pernah tengok video-video yang saya share kat blog tentang perjalanan kitorang ke mana-mana, haaaa ini la dia video editor-nya :D Sempena cuti Easter lepas, saya ke Slovenia dan Maryam ke Ireland. Teringin ke sana dengan diorang ni, tapi masa Easter tu Slovenia lebih memanggil-manggil. Hehe.

Maryam & Azila from Ireland with love <3

Next!

Ingat lagi saya pernah share Google map untuk states in USA? Takpe2, kita tengok lagi sekali, saya paste kat sini.

Kalau poskad yang dulu dari Nebraska, kali ni dari Maine. Dalam peta, Maine tu dah dekat border US - Canada. Sekali pandang, ingatkan Mainz yang kat Germany. Bila tengok setem, baru perasan.

Sheila berkongsi pasal Appalachian trail - untuk pejalan kaki / hiking yang panjangnya 2 190 batu (dalam 3 500 km!). Trail ni bermula dari Mount Katahdin, Maine sampailah ke Springer Mountain, Georgia - dan ia merentasi banyak negeri. Wow!

Yang keempat - dari Belanda a.k.a. the Netherlands. Poskad ni sebenarnya dari Germany tapi orang yang hantar ni tinggal di Netherlands. :)

Yeay, selesai satu post. :) Sekarang ni setiap kali kalau dapat siapkan satu post, rasa bersyukur sangat. Hehe.

Sorry, lama tak blogwalking ke rumah korang T_T

Jumpa lagi, byeee.

[PFTW] | No. 8 - 11 | New Zealand, Turkey, Germany, Netherlands

March 12, 2016

Semalam masa on the way nak balik rumah, saya nampak seorang makcik berdiri depan buzzer bangunan rumah saya. She is a postwoman. Posmen kat sini memang jalan kaki, naik basikal je untuk deliver surat. Surat-surat ada dalam satu beg roda (ala-ala beg tarik yang guna pergi pasar tu :D) Dan ada jugak masa yang posmen bawak parcel yang perlu sign penerima tu.

Dan makcik tu rupanya tengah tunggu satu pekerja pejabat (satu bangunan dengan saya) ni untuk turun ambik parcel dia.

Dia tanya saya, "duduk sini ke?" "tengah tunggu surat?"

Saya nampak dia pegang poskad. Haha, saya pun bagitahu lah nama saya, dan memang poskad tu untuk saya :D

Kisah ni simple je kan, tapi rasa happy jugaklah. Baru la nampak macam mana posmen hantar poskad saya :)

Yang pertama, dari Ginny di New Zealand. :) Ini salah satu negara idaman untuk pergi, sebab banyak adventure sports kat sini. Oh yea, New Zealand juga terkenal dengan lembu dan produk tenusunya.

In 2015, there were just over 5 millions cows being milked, an increase of 1.9% over the previous season and the first time the number has surpassed 5 millions. - GoDairy.co.nz

Ini mengesahkan yang lembu dari banyak dari populasi New Zealand sendiri iaitu anggaran 4.5 juta! :D

Next is from Antalya, Turkey. Turkey is a big country, known as the gate between the east and west of the world. :) Antalya ni letaknya di belah bawah Turkey, betul betul dekat dengan laut.

Yang ketiga, dari Nuremberg, Germany. Baru beberapa bulan lepas, saya ke sini masa dalam perjalanan ke Bingen. Tak banyak explore pun kawasan sekitar ni, just dapat spend 2-3 hours kat kawasan beli belah sbb itu yang paling dekat dengan tempat parking yang kami masuk randomly :)

Yang ke-4! Dari Marianne, di Netherlands :)

Mula-mula saya ingatkan Utrecht ni satu nama negara, terpinga kejap, bila tengok setem baru tahu. :D Marianne ni kerja sebagai konduktor train, saya rasa kerja ni agak menarik sebab selalu rasa diorang ni kuat ingatan.

Train kat sini, kita boleh duduk secara rawak, ikutlah nak duduk kat mana pun asalkan dalam kelas yang betul (first class, second class) dan ada tiket yang sah. Konduktor akan ulang alik train sepanjang masa untuk sahkan tiket, dan dia mampu cari orang yang baru masuk dari stesen yang train baru lalu.

Mungkin sebab pengguna train ni jujur, boleh jadi jugak. :)

p/s - Sekarang dah start cuti sekolah kan? Selamat bercuti pada yang cuti!

Rasa macam kakak / makcik pejabat pos tu dah kenal dah muka saya, balik-balik budak ni asyik menghantar poskad je. :) Biasanya saya minta orang pejabat pos tolong tampalkan setem, sebab saya still tak yakin setem yang harga berapa boleh guna (sebab bergantung pada lokasi negara) -_-'

25kc untuk sekitar Eropah. | 30kc untuk luar Eropah.

Kelakar je rasa bila poskad lagi murah dari setem. Haha.

Alhamdulillah, memang rasa gembira setiap kali buka peti surat. Kalau sebelum ni peti surat sekadar ada katalog Tesco, Kaufland dan supermarket yang sewaktu dengannya, sekarang ni ada poskad! Dan of course the thoughts on each of them are the most valuable. :)

The first one is from Bret, he's from Prague, Czech. Just a simple 'best wishes in 2016' like this can already make me smile for the rest of evening :)

The next two postcards are from USA.

I have no idea where in the world is Nebraska. It is actually one of the states, located in the middle of USA. Kalau korang boleh tengok kat gambar bawah ni, Nebraska letaknya betul2 kat atas tulisan United States.

The largest ancestry group claimed by Nebraskans is German American. The state also has the largest per capita population of Czech Americans among U.S. states. - Wikipedia

No wonder this girl, Renee has been to Czech 4 times! I bet there are very high number of Czech Americans who introduced a little bit about Czech in this state. :) Agaknya lah haha.

Dan ini pula dari Farah :D

She sent this from New York, when she went to EXO Planet #2 - The EXO'luXion in New York / New Jersey. No wonder I feel like I'm just next to her as she wore the tudung I gave her :D

The fourth one, unexpectedly from Wak Tiga Lalat. Hehehe, terkedu sekejap wak hantar poskad lagi. At the same time, I felt very happy. Thank you so much! InsyAllah kalau saya travel somewhere saya try hantar poskad ke Wak ye.

Yang terakhir untuk kali ni ialah dari Vilnius, Lithuania. Saya dah lama berhajat nak ke negara Baltik ni - Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. Tapi tak berkesempatan. Cuti takde yang panjang, tiket pun takde yang murah. Jadinya, teruja jugak bila dapat poskad dari Lithuania ni. :)

I guess Virginija, the one who sent this postcard really read my post-crossing's profile well. :) She shared her thoughts on hiking and to be a nature lover - one of my favorite topics. Awwww. T___T

Okayy, that's all for today.

Jumpa lagi.

p/s - Seperti yang dijangka, photo challenge saya entah ke mana.... A photo a day la sangat :p

/21 Hobby

I have fun collecting postcards from where ever I go. And now I think it's time to exchange postcards with others :)

So, after I get to know Wak Tiga Lalat's blog, he introduced me to postcrossing.com. Actually, I am easily influenced by amazing stuffs like this. Go check out his blog, lots of postcards exchanged between him and the rest of world! :D

Anyway, I have already received my first postcard via postcrossing.com! :)

The first one is from Karilyn, Canada. She sent a postcard with beautiful pictures of wildlife in Canada. Her favorite are polar bears. :) I love polar bears too, but I prefer penguin over bears. Hehe

Reading this, suddenly I remembered an milk advertisement about 'polar bears do not eat penguin'. I bet we all know why :D For me, thanks to Anmum, I knew that fact from the advertisement itself.

I found some beautiful facts about them.

From what I read, we have 2 hemispheres - northern (Arctic areas) and southern (Antarctica). We can only find polar bears in the norther hemispheres while penguin in the other one :)

"Arctic" is actually a Greek word for "bear".

"Antarctica" is "the opposite of bear (ant-arctica)" which also means "opposite of the Arctic".

And this one is from Wak! :D

I always look forward for this kind of postcards. You can easily know fun facts of the country, any special occasion, famous people, suggested places to go etc etc etc.

Do you know that the world's largest roundabout is located in Putrajaya with 3.4 kilometers of length!

WOAH!

Thank you, Karilyn & Wak. :)

Have a nice day, guys!
