This is the other Lunar New Year of Snake FDC from Taiwan.
This cover is bigger, and the sender affixed one large souvenir sheet and one stamp from the issue. The postmark date is 3 December 2012. Unfortunately I cannot identify the sender! If you are reading this please comment.
This is the back of the cover. Thank you very much to the sender!
I received two FDCs of the Lunar New Year of Snake from Taiwan, and both of them are without sender’s information. Let me guess.
I guess this smaller FDC is from S Chuang based on my address label print. On this cover, Chuang affixed two Year of Snake stamps and one postage label stamp to make up the postage rate. The postmark date is 3 December 2012.
This is the back of the cover. Thanks a lot S Chuang!

A postcard from Minas Gerais, Brazil, sent by postcrosser Gisely P. for Brazil to rest of the world tag in postcrossing forum.
The postcard shows Saint Francis of Assissi Church in Ouro Preto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site designate city in Minas Gerais. Unfortunately, the top left corner was damaged – perhaps the postcard was soaked wet so it stuck to other letters.
At the back, Gisely affixed two stamps, and the stamp on top right was also badly damaged. The postmark date is 26 November 2012 and the location is Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Thanks a lot Gisely for checking my favorites and sending one to me!
Another postcard from Langkawi Island in Kedah, Malaysia! This one is from Ian Choong.
Ian sent me a postcard showing the beautiful Payar Island, one of the hundreds on islands in Langkawi archipelago. Payar Island is surrounded by coral reef and it is a marine park.
At the back, Ian affixed one stamp showing the horned frog or leaf frog. The postmark date is 27 November 2012 but unfortunately location (Langkawi, Kedah) is not clear – perhaps due to the postcard paper. This is the same with my other postcards from Langkawi. Thanks a lot Ian for this postcard!
