Postcards with Bikes...etc.

1908.  Hamburg, Germany

Hi Chris, the "Rote Flora" is a former theatre in the Sternschanze quarter in Hamburg.  It has been squatted since Nov. 1989 in response to a decision to turn it into a musical theatre.  It has served as a nexuc for radical and revolutionary culture.  Having survived multiple fires, plans by the city to demolish the entire structure, and frequent clashes with the police, Rote Flora, with its dilapidated, graffiti=covered facaed, has become a symbol of the radical left in Germany.

     So, this is not a typical tourist card from Hamburg...at least I hope so!

Best wishes, Sophia

1269.  Greetings from Macao!

Macao is a small city with high population, which is a Special Administrative Region of China.  Since Macao was formerly a Portuguese colony, here you can find the harmonious combination of Chinese and Portuguese buildings.  The picture on the card is A-Ma Temple, which is one of hte famous tourist destinations in Macao.  Hope that you'll like this postcard!   2018.3.21

Hello, Although not a postbox, this card shows the post (wo)man.  In the Netherlands he often comes by bike.  I live in Apolder, about 5 meters below Scalevd, on the former seabord (hard to read the writing).  My birthday is also on 30th of April.

Happy postcrossing and best wishes, Koen

June 7, 2016 - a very sunny day in Darmstadt,Germany

Dear Chrisk, I hope this postcard meets you in a happy mood!  I live in a fairly big town, which has a lot of university students, many parks, and some pretty buildings.  The only thing that's missing is some water, a lake or a river for example.  I always like the smell and sound of it.  Love, Cindy
