U-Bahn and S-Bahn

Usually I don't collect postcards that I bought myself. I prefer to recieve them but I'm going to keep this one.Mainly because I got it from the most amazing European city- Berlin. Longer post about the city soon for now just a short note.


Metro- U-Bahn in Berlin was opened in 1902 and it consist of 10 lines and 173 stations. The length of the lines is 146,3 km and 4/5 of it is under the ground. S-bahn is a rapid transit system of 15 lines that crosses the city and the surrounding. It's integrated with U-Bahn.


From my short experience I can say that the public transport works fine in the city and it's easy to use and the only problem was that automats don't allow payment by Visa Electron card ;)

Hello Wisconsin

Wisconsin is located in the north-central United States. It's capital is Madison, and its largest city is Milwaukee. I'm not really in writting mood so I will just tell that secret polish plan for colonizing the worldworks fine in Wisconsin because 9,3% of people there are Polish or have Polish ancestors and that's the highest percentage of  residents from my country of any state :)

Postcard from Jean-Claude

I like that postcard and there are few reasons for that. First at all it's a US card of the state I haven't had. The other reason is the map as I find map cards very interesting. This one is beautiful and I think that Wisconsin's coat of arms is awesome! And there is another reason why "Wisconsn" on the card made me smile... I used to watch a lot of  'That's '70s Show' and it takes places in fictional town in Wisconsin state ;) So I thought of recalling some memorable quotes from the TV show ;)

Orkney Islands

Very beautiful postcard sent by a friend living in one of the Orkney Islands. I never found map cards interesting untill I got this one. Now I can't wait for more!

Description from the back of the postcards:

The seventy plus Orkney Islands lie at a latitude of 59º N and cover an area of 9,7000 ha, with coastline of 920 km, and a population of about 21,000. The mild climate is due to the Atlantic Slope Current and Atlantic weather systems, while mixing of Atlantic and North Sea waters produces an enviroment rich in food for flora and fauna for the abundant fish, shellfish, crustacea and birds which live and breed here. The shallow sounds between the islands are good places to see many species of birds as well as seals and occasional cetaceans
