Stretching over some 400 km2, including forested area, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. They include the famous Temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations.

 This postcard means a lot to me. I recieved it from my friend that I know since kindergarden!  We lived in the same city Donetsk, but unfortunately for all of us we can't stay there due to the war in it. This postcard shows Doves of Peace, because we all wait for them to come to our city and bring PEACE!

 Bermuda is located in North Atlantic Ocean. It is a British overseas territory and is situated east coast of the United States, south of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and northeast of Miami.  Bermuda gets its name from its founder, Juan de Bermudez. Bermuda was founded in 1505 and was settled in 1609 by Britain.

 Aruba, an island slightly larger than Washington, DC, lies 18 mi (28.9 km) off the coast of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean.Aruba is a popular vacation destination and offers a large and varied choice of accommodations. Aruba's high-rise resorts are located on Palm Beach while the low-rise resorts are located on Eagle Beach.  The mother-tongue of Aruba is Papiamento. It is a language, not a dialect, and evolved from several older languages as most languages today have done. The language's name is derived from the Portuguese verb 'papear' which means 'to jabber' or the verb in Spanish meaning to speak incoherently. The word 'papiamento' also has the same meaning as parliament which is derived from the French word 'parler' (to speak).

 The Group of Monuments at Hampi represent the ruins of Vijayanagara, the former capital of the Vijayanagara empire. This was a South Indian empire, dating from 1336 to 1646.  Hampi is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India located near Hospet town in the Karnataka state . Hampi is charismatic even in its ruined state, attracting thousands of visitors every year. Vast stretches of boulder-strewn hills make the backdrop of Hampi unique.Dotted around the hills and valleys are 500 plus monuments.

Borneo is a huge island located in South-East Asia , in between the Indian & Pacific oceans.The Borneo rainforest is certainly the largest, and the most important, forested land-area in Asia. The forest itself is estimated to be, extraordinarily, around 130 million years old , and is presumably older than the Amazon rainforest.

 From the age of 7, the boys on the island of Nias practice the ancient art of boulder jumping. As their age increases, so does the height of the boulders they dare defy. For the young men of the Nias tribes, the time would come when they would have to prove their courage and maturity as a warrior through a series of tests. Warriors of Nias must first be strong. Next they must be skilled in martial arts and trained in black magic. The last and final test for the warriors is to leap over massive stones, measuring as high as 2 meters without so much as touching the surface. Stone jumping on Nias Island is referred to as HomboBatu or Fahombo , and is a tradition that has been faithfully practiced and preserved for centuries.

 The Hundertwasser House in Vienna is a building designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser in Vienna's 3rd district. The official name of the building, which many people simply call Hundertwasser House, is actually Hundertwasser-Krawina House. Josef Krawina is an Austrian architect and was heavily involved in the planning of the Hundertwasser House in Vienna. The extraordinary building was constructed between 1983 and 1985.  Anyone who lives in the Hundertwasser House also has the right to decorate the façade around the windows entirely to their own taste. This makes the house on Vienna's Kegelgasse even more lively. More than 200 trees and shrubs on the balconies and roof terraces make the Hundertwasser House a green oasis in the heart of the city.

 Belgium is located in north-western Europe. It is surrounded by the Netherlands, the North Sea, Germany, Luxembourg, and France. There are three official languages in Belgium. Dutch, spoken by just under 60% of the population, mainly by the Flemish to the north in the Flanders area. French is spoken by around 40% of the population and mainly to the south in the Wallonia region. There is a small group of German-speakers in eastern Wallonia.   The town of Spa in Belgium is where the word 'spa' comes from. People as far back as ancient Roman times used to come to the town to bathe in the famed cold springs for health and healing purposes.

  Barcelona Cathedral or the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia is a magnificent Gothic church. The Cathedral of Saint Eulalia is just as impressive inside as it is outside. Featuring a striking roof adorned with allegorical gargoyles and majestic bell towers that rise high into the sky, the exterior amazes the visitor with its grandeur and perfection of detail. What shines the most, however, is the stunning Gothic façade beautifully decorated with statues, pinnacles and arches. The interior entails a spectacular nave flanked by 28 chapels and exquisitely brightened by some remarkable stained-glass windows. Another top feature of the Cathedral of Barcelona is the elevator which takes visitors to the roof and provides them with spectacular views over the Gothic Quarter and the dramatic skyline of Barcelon
