13. Christmas Island

Flying Fish Cove of  Australia's Christmas Island. It is the main settlement of the island. Interesting note on their stamps are that their stamps can be used on Australia and Australia can used their stamps as well.

Thank you, Christmas Island Tourism Association

11. Russia

From Russia featuring figures from Slavic Mythology. The card is called Gamayun and Mystic Lamb. According to Daria, she bought it as a set, and admittedly she didn't recognize most of the mythical figures depicted in the set. It could be that these are part of the greater Slavic mythology.

Спасибо Daria

9. Canada

This is my first postcard from direct swap. I received this from Emilia, a Filipina based in Canada, through the Philippine Postcrossing Facebook Group. Emilia wanted to celebrate the Easter by conducting an "Easter swap" with the Filipinos here. She requested postcard featuring rabbits, chocolates or religious-related figures. Luckily, I managed to buy a bulk of religious postcards in a local bookstore in Bulacan where I was sent for work.

She sended me in return a postcard featuring an illustration from the book Alice's Adventure in Wonderland. This is the original illustration done by Sir John Tenniel. This illustration depicts the meeting Alice and the Duchess.

Thank you Emilia

7. Finland

Laura of Finland sent me my first Moomin card. Moomin is a Swedish-speaking Finnish children book series. The moomins a family of white, roundish fairy tale characters with large snouts that make them resemble hippopotamuses. The carefree and adventurous family live in their house in Moominvalley, though in the past, their temporary residences have included a lighthouse and a theatre. They have had many adventures along with their various friends.

In this card, it depicts Snorkmaiden's encounter with Prima Donna's horse.

It's a shame that Moomin is not popular in the Philippines.

Kiitos Laura
