It seems to be incredible when we think about 2 active volcanoes which are part of National Park, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to be more specific. Card was sent by Alyssa, really nice Postcrosser I had chance to trade with. Park was established in 1916. As said before it encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive subaerial volcano. The park gives scientists insight into the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and ongoing studies into the processes of vulcanism. For visitors, the park offers dramatic volcanic landscapes as well as glimpses of rare flora and fauna. In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and a World Heritage Site in 1987.

Monday, February 23, 2015
Postcard was sent by Winkey Yeung, chinese postcards collector that I met on Postcrossing facebook side. This marvelous card shows territories of Lushan Mountain during the cooler seasons. As sometimes called Mount Lu or just Lushan, is situated in the northern part of Jiangxi province in southeastern China, and is one of the most renowned mountains in the country. Moreover it's also a part of Lushan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, and a prominent tourist attraction.14. Uzbekistan, Tashkent
Sunday, February 1, 2015
Postcard was sent by my friend who traveled to Uzbekistan. Officially it's called the Republic of Uzbekistan, which is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia. It's a unitary, constitutional, presidential republic, comprising 12 provinces, 1 autonomous republic, and 1 independent city. Uzbekistan is bordered by five countries: Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. The capital of Uzbekistan is Tashkent. As tittle-tattle it is noticeable that mulberries are atypically seen in numbers in this city.

13. Taiwan, the blessings of soil
Postcard was sent by jill0726 who lives in Taiwan. Postcard shows some harvest from Taiwanese fields. Taiwan has a dynamic, capitalist, export-driven economy with gradually decreasing state involvement in investment and foreign trade. In keeping with this trend, some large government-owned banks and industrial firms are being privatized. Real growth in GDP has averaged about 8% during the past three decades. Exports have provided the primary impetus for industrialization. The trade surplus is substantial, and foreign reserves are the world's fifth largest. The Republic of China has its own currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

8. Andorra, Capital dels Pirineus
Andorra came to my mailbox from fire.maggie who was visiting this country. Andorra, officially the Principality of the Valleys of Andorra is a sovereign landlocked microstate in Southwestern Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France.Andorra is a prosperous country, mainly because of its tourism industry, which services an estimated 10.2 million visitors annually, and because of its status as a tax haven, although it is in the process of reforming its tax regime. It is not a member of the European Union, but the Euro is the de facto currency. It has been a member of the United Nations since 1993. The people of Andorra have one of the highest life expectancies in the world and as of December 2014, according to The Lancet, has the highest in the world - 81 years in 2013.
