| Page Views: 265 | Postcard from Personal Friends Around the World by freddie18 - last update: Apr 27, 2008 |
Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe It is really not surprising to receive another postcard from our dear Thai friends. This couple Denchai and Kwan always remember us wherever they go. They are aware that we are travellers ourselves and that we always want to do what a traveller should - Send Postcards!
We became family friends when we met at the downtown Osaka in Japan when both families are having a tour of the city and the neighboring places. It was just a brief encounter in May 2007. It was followed by our visit in their city of Bangkok in June of the same year on our last leg of tour of Asia.
Sending postcard became our means of communicating wherever they go and wherever we may be.
Attractions on the Jungfraujoch:*
* Ice Palace * Ice Gateway * Sphinx observation terrace * Plateau with hikes in the eternal snow * "Top of Europe" Glacier Restaurant * High Alpine Research Exhibition * Summer (June-September): ski & snowboard park, husky-drawn sledge rides, adventure attractions: e.g. Tyrolienne, snow disk etc. |
|  | From Thailand with Love Received these postcards from our friends in Bangkok Thailand, Kwan and Denchai. I am sure it reminds them (and for us too) of our happy one whole day and whole night trip of Ayuthaya. It was indeed a very memorable trip. We truly will never forget the hospitality of this couple.
Top Photo: Sanphet Prasat Palace was the principal palace in the early Ayuthaya period. It was used in many important court and state ceremonies of Ayuthaya Kingdom. Photo Below: Phra Kaew Pavilion is an octagonally-shaped structure. The interior of the building is elaborately embellished and painted with murals depicting the story of the Life of the Buddha and Jataka. |
|  | From a Family in Hamburg This postcard of Kirchwerder was sent to us by a nice couple whom we visited in Hamburg. Margret and Eugen are like family to us. We had nice time having dinner with them with those homemade dishes prepared by Margret and special wine presented by Eugen.
Kirchwerder is particularly densely populated by its particularly sandigen soil and exceptionally good vegetable growing area. Kirchwerder is one of the oldest received culture landscapes of Germany. |
