A postcard from southern part of Finland. Really in surprise, as it took only 5 days to deliver to Hong Kong!!! It would be better if it is a card, haha.

The word “koivumetsä” means birch forest (白樺林), and Silver Birch is actually the national tree of Finland. I guess that’s why she chose this beautiful painting to me. The stamp is featuring a famous and symbolic cartoon character from Finland – Muumin (姆明). The stamp was released in May 2013. “Suomi” on the stamp is a Finnish word meaning Finland. Thanks Elina for bringing this wonderful painting from Finland!
(And cool that there is no stamp chop found around the stamp, maybe that’s an accident?)
