Kyiv

Alex (oswald27 on instagram) sent me these Kyiv postcards.

When I wrote her my postcards, I told her that a good friend of mine is living in Ukraine. I met her 2 years ago in Stuttgart and she went back to Ukraine in 2012.

 

Kviv Nezalezhnist Square

I am aware that Kyiv is the capital city of Ukraine. But I am bot familiar with any of its Landmarks. I want to know more about different places so I decided to read something more about Kiev. I found out that this is actually called “Maidan Nezalezhnosti” or “Independence Square” .. But it is known for “Maidan” which means “square”.

Its via Postcrossing.

Yana is 13 years old and she loves AC/DC.. I was wondering what is actually written on the card.

So I had to ask as good friend from Ukraine.

She told me it means : HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

too early for my next birthday though…
