Postcards and Notes from Pakistan
I finally find the photos I took from these souvenirs from Pakistan! I took these images before my trip to Italy last month and it was buried somewhere in my external hard drive. I should be posting this long time ago but I was so busy with many things both online and offline.
Before that, I would like to apologize to the sender named Bilal Q. for posting this so late. I am a busy bee until now because I am also preparing for a 6-week vacation in Asia. I was really very happy when I checked our mailbox that time and found your beautiful postcards plus these banknotes or notes you swapped with me. It reminded me of the lost 2 Euro coin in your post office but so thankful that you received the four postcards from Europe. Don’t worry, once I find again that special 2 Euro coin from Germany, I will surely send you again another one and probably to your friend in Dubai, like what you mentioned before.
I have been to over 30 countries worldwide but not in Pakistan. Of course, places and countries in that part of Asia are also in my bucketlist. I believed Pakistan has also a lot of sights to offer to its tourists and visitors. I am hoping one day, I will visit it especially places like Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Multan, Muzaffarabad and more. I also would love to see the second highest mountain on earth which is K2 which is located in Gilgit-Baltistan.
Oh well, enough of my dream to visit this country but who knows one day, I will really be there like the other countries I wish to visit which came to reality. In fact, I cannot wait to travel to Asia again and it is coming so soon.
Let’s get to know about this country a bit; Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world with over 180 million people! Amazing! It is the 36th largest country in the world in terms of area and it covers 796,095 km2 or 307,374 sq mi. The name Pakistan literally means “Land of the Pure” in Urdu and Persian. It is home to the Indus Valley civilization, which is amongst the oldest in the world.
I am very happy to receive these postcards especially these bills from Pakistan. I have more in my banknotes collection.
Just letting everyone know that I collect all forms of travel souvenirs from postcards to banknotes of different countries, fridge magnet, plates, ceramic or porcelain and other travel memorabilia.
Once again, special thanks to my fellow postcrosser or postcard swapper, Bilal for these very wonderful postcards from Pakistan. I truly appreciate it! Hope to do more postcard swapping with you in the future. Thanks also to this facebook group Postcrossing and to its admin(s )! You rock!
