The back of the card. I don't usually include the entire back, but in this case I had to share. This handwriting is lovely, and almost looks like a font instead of handwriting. I love the Chinese writing!

Scenes from Taiwan

This card comes from a high-school student in Taiwan. She's told me about the photos on the card:

The top photo is of the highest mountain in Taiwan.

The second photo is a famous train up a mountain in Taiwan.

The third photo is of a coral reef in the shape of a heart.

The bottom photo is a popular beach.

A Very Pretty Card from Taiwan

On September 12, 2009 I received a lovely postcard from Taipei, Taiwan.  It is my third card received, and even now that I have received about 30 cards, it remains the most unusual card in my collection.  The top of the card says "Taiwan Aboriginal Tribes".

Of course it is much nicer to see in person.  It is actually quite heavy to hold, and has red stitching in it as you can see.  This is one of my very favorite cards and the stamp is very pretty, too:
