The Terminal - John's Park

Here comes my first postcard from Hungary! The building shown on the postcard is the Hungarian Parliament Building. It is one of the oldest Legislative building in Europe. It is the landmark of Budapest and also of the whole Hungary. Construction was started in 1885 and the building was inaugurated on the 1000th anniversary of the country in 1896, and completed in 1904. The building has 691 rooms, and it is 268 metres long and the dome 96 metres high. The other photo shows the Danube (多瑙河). It is 2857 km long, the longest river in the European Union. It passes through 10 European countries.

The dark stamp was released in 2013, from the series featuring different kinds of animals in Hungary. It shows a stoat (白鼬).

The yellow one was released in 2012, from a series of protected birds of prey in Hungary. This stamp shows The Eastern Imperial Eagle (白肩雕) (Aquila heliaca) . There are only about 70 to 80 pairs of such birds in Hungary.

The last stamp was released in 1999, showing that Hungary joined the NATO in that year.
