adorable indonesian cards

I found these beautiful cards in Times bookstore, near my ex-office. Those are some soo well-photographed well-printed cards showing beautiful things in Indonesia. The only sad part is.. it's all printed in Singapore. Well, sadly it could proves that Indonesian printers are not that good in printing beautiful cards :(

Well, take a look at those! Aren't they lovelyyy?

And I think I've sent all of those times postcard to the rest of the world! Haha I was never meant to make this blog a database of all my postcards, because actually I can't save anything properly in order, which means I can't make a database! Hahaha. The thing I don't really like of this times postcard is: it's too small! Well it is small but the place for putting stamps is also small.. Sometimes the stamps covered the address part. Wahh it really stressed me out hahaha.

Well, Indonesia is a very beautiful country, isn't it? We have soo much beautiful landscapes, unique cultural ways of life which could makes great view on postcards. But unfortunately Indonesians aren't that interested in philately, which makes Indonesian cards aren't so creative and boring. In my case, I always search for the greatest cards I saw in the store. Sometimes I really wish I could make my own postcard, so there will be no need to go to Jakarta, buying cards, etc. Here are those other postcard that I found interesting, and almost all of them are around the world right now! :)

the yellow one is a sunset in Manado bay, and the blue is the Sunda Kelapa harbour. seas in Indonesia are amaziing :D

sent those two to people asking for traditional costumes. the left one is bali's traditional costume and the right is an old lady from Dayak tribe.

and lately, got this card from a friend. gave it to postcrossers who wants a vintage card :)

See? Indonesia is adorable. But so many people don't appreciate its beauty, or worse, creating bad labels on it. Terrorism, hatred, poverty, bah. I hope more could just enjoy what God have given them and keep doing good things, such as postcrossing (haha). I really enjoy sending these cards :) And how about you? How many Indonesian goodness have you sent lately? Or foreigners, do you enjoy Indonesian beauty? :)
