Anyway. My first postcard for today comes from dear Jo in Vietnam. Earlier this year she offered her most favourites postcard for swap and of course I had to ask for one. It's SUCH a pretty card, no wonder it's so popular (although to be honest, I think most of Jo's cards are really beautiful, I don't think I could ever pick my favourite amongst them!).
This little girl is from Sapa in northern Vietnam where many of Vietnam's ethnic minority groups live. Jo tells me that Sapa is the only place in Vietnam where it ever snows, and earlier this year it snowed there for the first time in 8 years.
As of 2003, Sapa had a population of 42,095. The district covers an area of 677 km² and its capital lies at Sa Pa.
The stamps are from a set of 2 flower stamps issued in 2010.
