A typical canal and Dutch architecture scene from Amsterdam :)
Though the nice sunset atmosphere makes it even better.

Il Duomo
The Duomo is the most recognizable landmark of the Milano. It is a jewellery box standing high with its 135 spires. Its construction began in 1386 and spanned over six centuries, being entirely completed only in 1965. The cathedral's dominant Neo-Gothic style was created during the 19th century construction phase urged by Bonaparte Napoleon who was crowned here the King of Italy.
The main feature of the Duomo is the polychrome Madonna statue was erected in 1762 and it's standing 108,5 meters high.
During my sojourn in Milan, I climbed to the rooftop seven times with my friends who came to visit me. The first time was with my father who helped me moving to the city in September 2012 :)

Miami
My friend and flatmate embarked on an
overseas trip from Milan to Miami. It was not such a long thing, but the two of
us who remained home missed her alot. We skyped a few times and summing up her
experiences of Florida:
Beach, palms, heat, humidity and
alligators.
What surprised me during my research on
the city is though it seems like a super metropolis, there are only circa 400
000 inhabitants of Miami which is a far less figure than I expected.
This is a very cool postcard I love it :)

This postcard was sent by me upon my arrival to my new home for a year. I went on Erasmus exchange to Milan, Italy. Initially it was supposed to be only one semester but I enjoyed it so much I extended the scholarship for the entire academic year.
By that time I'd known Italy pretty much: I learnt Italian, I travelled around the country, been to Rome three times but I had a blank space in my knowledge and it was this city 'cause I'd never been there before.
I was very excited to arrive, my father drove me by car and helped me moving there. I had a picture in mind how Milan would look like, I was expecting the typical Italian streets and atmosphere which I'd had seen before. In the contrary, we've arrived to a city which looks much more like my hometown Budapest. I realized the Habsburg Monarchy and the vicinity of the Northern bordering countries made their impact on the urban landscape of Milan so much it became a non-typical Italian metropolis.
Though the city has vibe and charm and I'll always like it because I spent a very good year here making lot of dear friends with who we're still in touch and every now and then visiting each other :)
I can tell it was a very abundant year regarding postcard collecting 'cause Erasmus people do travel alot :)

Marina Bay Sands in Singapore
Singapore is the city-state in Southeast Asia located in an island at the southern tip of Malaysia. Singapore used to be an important marine commercial center during the course of history and it is still today.
Marina Bay is in the city center and since 2010 the Marina Bay Sands is prevailing the view. It is an ultra-futuristic building complex designed by Israeli architect Moshe Safdie. The design follows the principles of feng shui "to create a perfect balance of energy and harmonisation with the environment." The complex includes a hotel, a casino, a theatre, and the shell-flower shaped building as an artscience museum. On the top there is a 9,941 m2 park and an infinity swimming pool which looks like having no edges giving a perfect uninterrupted water surface.
