This week I received a card from a a new country: Serbia. This card was a lottery prize for guessing the name of the baby girl of Berislav Buberis. It shows the building of gimnasium in Subotica. The building was built at the end of the XIXth century and it´s one of the most beautiful buildings of Subotica.

Argentina!

Today I received a huge surprise!! An official card from Argentina! It is a huge surprise because it´s from a rare country in Postcrossing (its ID is AR-734) and because I already have more received than sent cards, I guess it´s due to the expired ones. It was sent by leo_argentino and it shows the 9th of July Avenue.
