Taiwan, Lion Dance.
The postcard shows the lion dance that, based on what Gill wrote, is a special culture from her country and performed in every temple fair. We in Indonesia actually familiar with the dance, as we also have it performed every Chinese New Year and Cap Go Meh (or more Internationally known as Lantern Festival). It's called "Barongsai" in Indonesian language. But it'd be nice to go to Taiwan and see it there :) Arrived on June.

Wejherowo, Poland.
This Wejherowo postcard was sent by Matte, alongside with Jeżyki and Mleko Zagęszczone Słodzone (a condensed milk in tube which you can carry everywhere) xD I got to take the package to post office because one of the mleko tube was leaking and ruined the envelope. And yes, the postcard was covered with milk and I had to wash it. The result of washing postcard wasn't so bad. There was also a letter, which sadly, I had to throw away 'cause it wasn't possible to wash it - I tried, it got worse :( Got it on June.
