About Maria...

Hello. :)

I'm 28, I live in Minsk, Belarus. I like photography, books, puzzles, hedgehogs, cycling, tea, music (I love Dream Theater and Pink Floyd), swimming, football (sometimes :)), travelling, blue and orange colors and a lot of things... :) I also like learning different languages, so it will be nice if you write something in your mother tongue on the postcard! For example, it may be your favourite quatation (please put the translation there too! :))

Liebe Postcrossere aus Deutschland, bitte, bitte, bitte, schreiben sie auf Deutsch! Ich lerne Deutsch und möchte mehr Übungen im Lesen machen. Danke im Voraus! :)

Please write what do you know about Belarus - I'm so curious! ;)
Or tell me any local legend.
Or explain what's on the card and why you chose it.
Or let me know about your favourite cafe in your hometown.

I'll appreciate any postcard from you. Really :)

But if you have any card from my favourites - I'll be happy to get it! :)

Some more ideas just to help you to choose :)
* hedgehogs :)
* cards with public transport (esp. trams and trains) or bicycles
* De KNVB :)
* Geschichte von Deutschland :)
* flags and maps (islands!)

Happy Postcrossing! :)

P.S.: I always write my address on a card, that's just for my Post office - to be sure that card won't be lost :)

P.P.S.: Шаноўныя сябры з Беларусi, ведаю, як складана выбраць паштоўку для iншага беларуса. :) Каб было крыху лягчэй, выявы маiх любiмых гарадоў more than welcome :)) Львiв, Прага, Стакгольм, Кракаў, Мельбурн, Пiцер, Тракай, Амстэрдам, Будапешт... to be continued :)
Дзякуй!

P.P.P.S.: Dear Ukrainian friends, feel free to write in your native language :) It's a pleasure for me to read it, and sure I can understand you :)
