Germany Cards...nothing in common!

March 26, 2014

Two cards for you today.  They arrived on the same day, from the same country, but very different pictures.  I like them both, how about you?

The first one comes from Nuremberg.  Zara, the sender, wrote her favourite quote, "To make a nasty face, you have to strain 65 muscles, to smile you only need ten. Do not overstrain yourself!"  She names Cyril N. Parkinson as the originator of the quote.

Zara names The Darjeeling Limited by Wes Anderson as her favourite movie.  I haven't seen it, but have wanted to for a while.  She sends her best wishes.

I haven't seen this big stamp before I think and I rather like it.

Julia sent this card from Berlin with her greetings.  She says that this card shows the most famous local food from her hometown, currywurst and French fries with ketchup and mayonnaise. She isn't a big fan of it, but she thinks if she was a tourist she would probably eat it just to have tried the local specialty. :-)

She goes on to say that German food may not be the greatest, but she really enjoys life here, especially since she lived in a foreign country for 13 years too.  She says that even though Hawaii may be less "exotic" than Japan [not really in my opinion!], it was still very different and often difficult for her.  The things we do for love!  Her husband is half-Japanese too, but was born and raised in Hawaii.  

She sends her best wishes and wishes me a happy postcrossing.

The stamps are also great here.  Those are baby foxes on the bottom and are quite cute!

The back of the card has a few stickers and rubber stamps on it, including one in Japanese.  It was a lovely card to receive because of the care she took with it.

Thanks so much Julia!
