Postcards China, Czech Republic, Australia

This first one comes to me from the Czech Republic, the only problem with the ones with multiple views is you can't really see any of the pictures, they are each too small.

When I received this one from Australia I was so happy but again it is a multi-view and so small. I spent three weeks in Australia when I was a teenager and loved every minute of it.

This one gets thrown in with the multi-views because I can't figure out which way you are supposed to look at it. The words are printed so that the way you see it now is the correct view but the stalactites and stalagmites in a cave just don't go that way so I am not sure at all.

Learning From Postcards

Getting postcards is so great, the ones from different parts of the world are so much fun. I learn things too. Like this card above. It took me a while to figure out what the card was depicting since I don't speak (or read) Czech but I finally found a website that when translated for me by Google was filled with lots of information on the event. It is a march through the woods that have been decorated and filled with actors portraying fairytale characters. It seems to mostly be an event for families and children, it looks like fun to me. You can find more info and lots of pictures of the festivities at this website.
I also found this video on You Tube, you don't have to understand what they are saying to know the kids are having a good time and that it would be a fun event to attend with kids for sure if you were ever in the Czech Republic around May or June. It seems like different villages have their own marches through the woods on different dates mostly during those two months.
