Snowy View of Austria...
Thursday, July 07, 2011
...send by a Postcrossing member named Berta and she's the number one postcrosser in Austria, a member for 4 years.
And she just wrote "Greetings from Austria"...and hello in their language as "Hallo!" I cannot see any note written or printed in the card saying something about it, so I can search online. How I wish she wrote more but anyway, that's her style but I love the card, received it on summer time and just cool to see her card.
Anyway, I went online to search more about the place. Found out that Austria, officially the Republic of Austria is a landlocked country of roughly 8.4 million people in Central Europe. It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Slovakia and Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The territory of Austria covers 83,855 square kilometres (32,377 sq mi) and has a temperate and alpine climate. Austria's terrain is highly mountainous due to the presence of the Alps; only 32% of the country is below 500 metres (1,640 ft), and its highest point is 3,798 metres (12,461 ft). The majority of the population speaks German, which is also the country's official language. Other local official languages are Croatian, Hungarian and Slovene.(Source: Wikipedia)
It comes with a lovely stamp, enough to make me chirp...*smile*
