Hello!
I'm a student from Germany.
First of all I think it is important to tell you what the different words and numbers in my address mean.
In the capital line comes my first name (that is the name by that I'm individually marked and that my parents chosen) followed by my last name that is although my family name (the name my parents as a married couple decided to choose for the family they founded).
Next is the street (in German "street" means "Straße" or often smaller streets are called "Weg" and this is mostly part of the street's name that can actually be formed by every noun, e.g. "Zirkusstraße" in English "Circus street" or "Birkenweg" in English "Birch road") where I live and the number my house is registered under so the postman can easily find where he has to go. In some cases it's not just a number but a combination of a number and a letter, for example "54 b" that means that there is a house subdivided into mostly two (less more than two) parts so the number wouldn't be enough to clarify to what door it must be delivered, in Germany we call such a divided house "Doppelhaushälfte" in direct translation "Double house half" and if in a house, a skyscraper, or "Wolkenkratzer" in German for example, where more than two families liev we say "Mehrfamilienhaus" in direct translation "More family house".
Then there comes a long number that gives a closer idea of the part of the city where I live. The city's name comes straight behind the number. But the number is much more important because the number already contains the city but I guess to write down the city's name again in letters is more obvious for the post service.
At last stands the country/land that's really important so it's clear where the first way is going to end.
You can say, the German way of addressing a postcard or letter is starting with the smallest detail (my individual name) and ending with the biggest aspect (my country).
I hope it helps you or informs you about a side fakt you might never need again. But I thought it would be a nice thing to explain on my profile since everyone has to do it in order to send me something. Thank you very much for reading!

I love postcards picturing landscapes or typical aspects of the origin country. Nature is one of the most beautiful things to me, just like the stars in the sky. I'm a huge Harry Potter and Supernatural fan and my hobbies are for example LARP and RPGs and Mermaiding, beside some handicrafts, reading and writing and sports. I would be amazed if you can tell me if this although exists in your country.

I'm really fine with long texts on the card so I can learn a lot of new things!
I would enjoy very much if you could draw or glue your flag somewhere so I can learn them all<3Same is with sentences in your native language, I would enjoy it very much!

If there is please tell me something about legend or cryptozoological creatures from your country or famous ghost/Yokai or anything related. Thank you

Lovely greetings!
