What is written on the back of this postcard is what makes postcrossing amazing. :)
What does it say? Shhhhh, it's a secret!

Germany
A postcard from a friend! :)
This shows a Dutch stamp but it was sent from Germany.
An RAS sent on behalf of a friend! :)
Too bad it is in the 60s here and not snowing.

Mauritius
Now this postcard represents a new country in my collection and what a great postcard it is.
Mauritius? -- Check!
Turkmenistan
Next to last postcard of the night, not a new country, but definitely one that is rare. I am happy to add this Turkmenistan postcard to my collection. Look at that view!
Germany
Four fantastic postcard from Germany:
Mailboxes
Nuremberg
A meet up postcard but from whom? I am not sure. Time to investigate!
Bamberg
Never too late and too early for Christmas!
Singapore
So often it seems, when I do received a postcard from Singapore, the image has nothing to do with Singapore itself.....nice view of the Eiffel Tower, but that's in France, hmm....
Russia
I have not done any fact checking here, but apparently Saint Petersburg is 4th in the world for most tram tracks at approximately 500 km. That's a lot of track and which three cities can beat 500 km?

France
I really like both of these postcards quite a lot. The first postcard shows a traditional funicular in Pau. I love funiculars and to add to the appeal, this one is free. :)

New Zealand
Really nice view of this museum, too bad this postcard appears to have gone through the front lines.
Crimea
While technically not a country, Crimea is an autonomous republic within Ukraine and as such I choose to recognize its autonomy within my collection. ;)
...too bad they don't have their own postage....

Tunisia
So exciting, a new country and an especially "rare" one at that! So wonderful that I was compelled to include a picture of the stamps and postmark. (see bottom image)
**ok, fact check, I have received a postcard once before from Tunisia, but if I remember correctly, that one is blank and was sent from another country, so this one still wins!

Australia - Post 800
Heather sent me her first-ever 2013 postcard, so in return, I offer my 800th blog post to her (you). :)
This is a shaped postcard and though the beak is a tiny bit beaten up, it arrived completely intact. Impressive.
Taiwan
This is one of my favorite postcards I've received from Taiwan. The sender tells me that this a surviving indigenous tribe in Taiwan and the men are performing what was traditionally a war dance, but now is performed annually in February.
Netherlands
Postcard deja vu? No, I've just received this twice before.
At least it's one of my favorites.
