Taiwan - Taipei 101

Assalamualaikum Warohmatullahi Wabarokatuh

Back side :

Taipei 101 / TAIPEI 101[1], formerly known as the Taipei World Financial Center – is a landmark supertall skyscraper in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The building was officially classified as the world's tallest from 2004 until the 2010 completion of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. In 2011, the building received Platinum certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, and became the tallest and largest green building in the world.[9][10] At one point it had the fastest elevator in the world, traveling at 60.6 km/h (37.7 mph) and transporting passengers from the 5th to 89th floor in 37 seconds.

Construction on the 101-story tower, which is designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes, lasted from 1999 to 2004.

Designed to evoke both technology and Asian tradition, with a postmodernist style that puts a modern spin on traditional design elements, the tower serves as an icon of modern Taiwan. Fireworks launched from Taipei 101 feature prominently in international New Year's Eve broadcasts and the structure appears frequently in travel literature and international media.

A multi-level shopping mall adjoining the tower houses hundreds of stores, restaurants, and clubs.

Taipei 101 is owned by Taipei Financial Center Corporation.

Deutschland - UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein

Assalamualaikum Warohmatullahi Wabarokatuh

The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex (German Zeche Zollverein) is a large former industrial site in the city of Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It has been inscribed into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since December 14, 2001, and is one of the anchor points of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.

The first coal mine on the premises was founded in 1847, and mining activities took place from 1851 until December 23, 1986. For decades, starting in the late 1950s, the two parts of the site, Zollverein Coal Mine and Zollverein Coking Plant (erected 1957−1961, closed on June 30, 1993), ranked among the largest of their kinds in Europe. Shaft 12, built in the New Objectivity style, was opened in 1932 and is considered an architectural and technical masterpiece, earning it a reputation as the “most beautiful coal mine in the world”

Finland - Aurora Borealis

Assalamualaikum Warohmatullahi Wabarokatu


In Finland, nature’s most spectacular light show, the Aurora Borealis, can be viewed in a range of purpose-built spaces from glass igloos to luxury suites.

The Northern Lights are visible on roughly 200 nights a year – or every other clear night – in Finnish Lapland. The more traditional ways to go Aurora spotting are snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or snowmobile and sled dog touring. If gazing at the dark sky in crispy winter air is not your thing, you can simply add comfort. Scroll down for places that have made it very easy to keep cosy and sleep well under the Aurorae.

USA - Living Flag

Assalamualaikum Warohmatullahi Wabarokatuh

This envelope really surprised me. Because many envelopes are filled with lots of stamps from the past year. Even though I am not a stamp collector, this still touched me. Because the intention of the sender is so good at sending stamps.

I was a little disappointed with this shipment because the postcard was sent in an envelope and written. It would be more fun if the postcard was written and stamped.

But, that did not reduce my excitement for the envelope.

Belarus - Saint Sophia Cathedral

Assalamualaikum Warohmatullahi Wabarokatuh

Alhamdulillah today I received a PC from Belarus. Postcard with Saint Sophia Cathedral in Polotsk. An architecturally beautiful building.

Information from Wikipedia :
The Cathedral of Holy Wisdom in Polotsk (Belarusian: Полацкі Сафійскі сабор; Russian: Собор Святой Софии в Полоцке) was built by Prince Vseslav Briacheslavich (r.1044–1101) between 1044 (it is first mentioned in the Voskresenskaia Chronicle under the year 1056) and 1066. It stands at the confluence of the Polota and Western Dvina Rivers on the eastern side of the city and is probably the oldest church in Belarus.
