South Korea: The Nighty Sky of the Alps For You (알프스의 밤하늘을 너에게)

Today, I received another from my Korean postcard pal.

Similar to the "Our Happy Time" card, this card also features a dark and starry night. Instead of the lake, the man stands alone by himself in front of the Alps. It gives a sense of loneliness and hopelessness,,,,,, But I still like this card a lot because starry nights are just so calm and astonishing.

What do you think?
Do you like staring at the sky like I do?

South Korea: Our Happy Time (우리들의 행복한 시간)

This is another card I received from South Korea today.
It is from one of my pen pals and we have been swapping quite a few cards :)

I thought this was a very beautiful card because it features the starry sky, which is one of my favorite themes on postcards. The name of the card is called "Our Happy Time", and it has a boy and his puppy sitting on the dock on the lake that reflected the dark yet starry sky. The back of the card also has a matching drawing. Also, sender put a stamp on the card with a similar picture :) which I thought was very thoughtful :D

This card has the same style as "The Night Sky of the Alps For You"
Hope you liked the card also :)
Have a great day

South Korea: Are We All Lost Stars Trying To Light Up The Dark

Today, I received 2 postcards from South Korea and 1 from Vietnam.
Both of the cards from Korea were traded from a direct swap on Postcrossing.

This card from South Korea is actually my very first circle-shaped card that I've ever received. I've seen them online before, but never had one in my possession. But thanks to sender, I finally got one. With a celestial background, the card features a quote "Are we all lost starts trying to light up the dark".

Do you think you are one of those stars?

Sender said she likes autumn a lot because it neither too hot or too cold. However, I like winter a lot because I enjoy the cold and the snow a lot :) What about you?

The card also came with a Gemini stamp :D which is also my favorite horoscope. Because why? Geminis are the best. They are crazy and cheerful, and they will never fail to entertain you. Also, I am a Gemini...so...yay to all the Geminis out there :D

Thank you for the card Eun-hee.
너무 고마워요 :)

South Korea: Cassiopeia (카시오페이아)

Yesterday, I received my very first postcard from direct swapping. It was a card sent from South Korea, with the picture of Cassiopeia on the card. It was such a beautiful surprise because I do like constellation postcards a lot :)

Here’s Wikipedia's information on Cassiopeia:

“Cassiopeia is a constellation in the northern sky, named after the vain queen Cassiopeia in Greek mythology, who boasted about her unrivaled beauty. Cassiopeia was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century Greek astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations today. It is easily recognizable due to its distinctive 'M' shape when in upper culmination but in higher northern locations when near lower culminations in spring and summer it has a 'W' shape, formed by five bright stars.” - Wikipedia

And of course :) Beautiful Cassiopeia stamps that goes with the card.

And here’s the link if you’d like to know more about Cassiopeia

Well, hope you liked this postcard J

Happy…..Wednesday?
