Grave Of The Fireflies

Sender: Iris

A Studio Ghibli postcard, "Grave of the Fireflies" (Hotaru No Haka)

Set at the time of World War II, this animated movie is about the fates of two orphaned children who become casualties of war. I recommend you to watch it, if you haven't already. It is so moving, so beautiful, so sad, made me cry buckets..

Tung Oil Tree Blossom

Sender: Yen-Liang Shen

Tung Oil Tree Blossom

A deciduous shade tree native to China. Tung oil has been used for paints and waterproof coatings. I have heard of the cherry blossom festival (in Japan) but not of the tung blossom festival but I read that they do have the latter in some Taiwanese districts.

This card is a shaped card (I think it looks like the Gotochi cards people collect from Japan).

Fireworks at Taipei 101

Sender: Wei Ying

Text on card: Festivals excel at providing a main theme for marketing a city. With fireworks and the New Year's countdown - and now with Taipei 101, the world's tallest building - the New Year's celebration in Taipei attracts the world's notice year after year.

(Taipei 101 has been outranked by now. I think currently the world's tallest building is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.)
