Grey kitten

Evi from Germany sent me this beautiful card. I think this cats breed is chartreux.

La Côte d'Azur

Yesterday postman brought a card from Côte d'Azur in French Riviera. A bit difficult name to write and pronounce, but I'm guessing the place looks really amazing.

Birds and flowers

Today I'm sending two cards. The Vincent van Gogh card is going to The Netherlands and bird card to Italy.

Bumblebee

This card is flying to Canada. I chose this card because there's a bumblebee on it. I just love the word "Bumblebee" :)

Canary Islands

Yesterday I got this card from Canary Islands. I've never been to Canary Islands, but is looks like a perfect holiday paradise.

Sleeping cat

This lovely kitten card came from Eesti last Friday.

Peregrine

This bird card is going to Puerto Rico. The printed text on the back says: "The rare peregrine is the fastest bird in Finland. The juvenile, after its virgin flight, has already a stern stare of an adult bird."

Catz

OUR CATS:

Pahis ("The bad one")
2 years old. We found him wondering outside when he was really young. We took care of him and he stayed with us. All our cats are indoor pets.

Pikkis ("The little one")
Pikkis is 3 years old. We went to a animal shelter and found him. He was just a little kitten and someone had left him beside a busy road. Pikkis is quite shy, but likes all the attension.

Lotta (Finnish girls name)
Lotta is 1 year old burmese. We are hopeful that she will have kittens this autumn.

She is our little princess :)

Best scenery card

Finally I found a nice city card of Pori. I bought 5 of these. The first one is going to USA.
The building on the other side of the bridge is actually the university I go to.

And on the other side there is a nice map of Finland and where Pori is situated.

Kitten

This cute kitten card came from The Netherlands yesterday. The sender has actually been to Finland for a holiday last month.

Forest strawberries

This sweet summer card is going to Germany. Summer has been really weird this year. In early June we had a good heat wave and yesterday it rained so much that cars and houses were in danger. I just hope there are some warm days still left!

Church

Two of these cards are on their way to Germany and Turkey. I bought the cards from a small local shop in Kauvatsa. My summer job as a paint factory office clerk is situated here. Kauvatsa is a really small country village 50 km from Pori. I've been working here for seven summers - that's really a long time, but I like job and people. Kauvatsa is a part of Kokemäki, a little bit bigger town (population 8000). I lived in Kokemäki for 13 years. I moved to Pori to study when I was 19 years old.

Cards from America

Yesterday postman delivered two cards. Both of them were sent from USA, but "The Charles Bridge" card is originally bought from Prague, Czech Republic. The black and white cat card goes to my cat card collection.

Multiview city card

This card is going to Germany. Receiver asked for multiview city cards. This one has an air photo of Pori and smaller picture from our promenade. From the air picture you can clearly see the Kokemäki river. On the other side of the river on the left side of the bridge is the Pori university consortium where I go to school.

Two languages

This card is going to The Netherlands.
Pori is Björneborg in Swedish and "Terveiset" means "Greetings" ("Hälsningar" is the same in Swedish).
Finland has two native languages. That means everyone has to learn both of them in school, but most people don't speak Swedish so well (me included). Some cities in the coast operate mostly in Swedish. I guess Poris language used to be Swedish many years ago, but now we only use Finnish.
