If Korean pop is known as K-Pop, then I am naming this postcard below as K-Postcard :) This is one of the many postcards that were handed down to me by a dear friend:
Isn't it cute?
The postcard was sent by a university-bound girl named Sunyeong who also happens to speak a bit of the German language. The drawing on the postcard is a very typical Korean neighbourhood as I've seen it also on television. The houses are lovely, don't you agree with me?
When you hear the word "Korea", what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
For me, images of red-hot kimchi and Samsung come first ... then followed the North and South divide, actor Cha Im Pyo, and Arirang and KBS channels :)
Korea is a country that intrigued me so much -- it is the kind of foreign country that I read about a lot and seen a lot on the television. From being a country devastated by years of war, South Korea rose to become today's economic superpower while still holding on to their traditions and culture. Oh, and the food, of course - don't get me started. From time to time I get to taste a bit of Korea here in Phnom Penh as there are a number of Korean restaurants offering traditional Korean food here in Phnom Penh. Oh how I would love to go there someday.
The stamps used are both definitive stamps - one, of course, showing the flag of South Korea and the other featuring a pair of whistling swan.
