tsvetana

Hi!
I'm Tsveti and I live with my husband in our beautiful capital Sofia. We both love travelling - around Bulgaria and the world. Everywhere we go I try to get for myself at least one of the following three things: at least one postcard, a magnet for my fridge and postage stamps. I usually end up posting postcards to myself :-D

I like knowing more and more about different cultures. I've always adored reading about the history, culture, language, geography, cities/capitals, etc. of spots from the whole world.
Would you please write something more about the subject of the postcard or something else which you think would be interesting for me to know?

~~~~~~~~
If you're from countries such as Belarus, Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Ukraine, etc. would you please write in your language? Our languages are so, so similar and sometimes I feel ridiculous for writing messages in English to your countries, and at least I'd like to try my reading skills if not writing skills. I'll answer most probably in English/Bulgarian.
If you're from the Czech Republic, Poland or Slovakia - could you write a sentence in your language with a translation? In some cases I manage to understand the basic meaning and it's quite a fun. :)

While I'm not picky about postcards, and I would be happy with practically each one I get, here is a list which would give you a good idea of my postcard interests:
* maps
* national costumes
* mushrooms
* mountain huts
* rituals/traditions/carnivals with masks (e.g. mummers, Pauliteiros of Portugal, Morris dancers from England, Buso from Hungary, etc.)
* UNESCO sites (please write UNESCO somewhere on the card)
* from Germany - Bismarck towers http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismarckturm
* stone crosses in fields
* Inge Löök's Old Ladies
* Inga Paltser's owl postcards
* Irina Zenyuk's blue cats series
* views from the country/region/city/village,etc. you live in.
* anything else which you think will make a good surprise.
