Postcard #1: Vatican

By
The one and only post office in Vatican
Postcards and travelling are so closely related.

I learned it for the first time when my friend told me that she has sent many postcards to Indonesia while she was staying in Germany. I laughed at her at first but the more I travel, I realized that even though postcards do not too popular in Indonesia, but it IS in other countries. And, postcards are the CHEAPEST authentic souvenirs you could buy wherever you are travelling!

From this, I get an idea to write about my postcards in Traveler's Passport. It might look so boring, but I hope through this post I could spread the "postcards fever" to all travelers around the world!

So, here is my first postcard in Europe - the one originated from Vatican. I sent it on July 2nd, 2012 from post office in Vatican.

The price for each postcard is around 50 cent - 1 Euro and the stamps costed around 1.60 Euro.



Since it was the first time, I sent three postcards to Indonesia and took picture from each of them! :)

The Heaven on Earth, Hallstatt

By
There was a small wooden boat -  waited for me and took me to the heaven . . . on earth. Heaven on earth  - that is the best words to describe how awesome this place is. A placed called  Hallstatt . I could say that Hallstatt is one of the most beautiful places I have ever found and I am so lucky, that I could visit this place - at least once in life (though, I promise to myself that I WILL visit this place again!) As the first english post in Traveler's Passport , I decided to translate my previous post about Hallstatt (see, Surga Dunia, Hallstatt ) because this post currently holds the most view in this blog.
