Kiyomizudera was build in 780 at the request of Sakanoue-no-Tamuramaro. The main hall of this temple, built in 1633, is famed mainly for its wide wooden veranda in front, protruding over a steep cliff, from which a panoramic view of the city can be seen.<br />

I just came back from vacation to Kyoto and Osaka, Japan early of the week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was our annual family trip. However, it is not snowing in Kyoto and Osaka yet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this trip, we even booked to stay at Japanese communities via <a href="http://www.airbnb.com/c/chual117" target="_blank">AirBnb</a> (free $35 credit if you sign up using the <a href="http://www.airbnb.com/c/chual117" target="_blank">affiliate link</a>.) It was a memorable experience trip for our family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Japanese is known to be politeness, they greet their customers/passengers 'arigato (thank you)' after each service. Japan appear to be one of tech-advance country, but the Japanese still love handwritten letter/card to express their gratitude. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One suggestion : It will be good if you can pay to visit to their post office.<br />
You may able to 'hunt' for some nice paper items. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the month of December, the new year postcard of 2017 is made available for sale. </div>

The shaped board postcard was sent from Lyo, Japan. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a postcrosser, we send and received postcards from different countries. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I feel so much happier when I received from Japan instead, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reasons are </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) neat hand-writing from the postcrosser</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) the pretty stamps </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) never-disappointing postcard</div>

Crafted by one of the oldest forms of printing - letterpress. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This beautiful postcard is printed by using of the 1960s German vintage presses on premium paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a notoriously labour intensive process which adds an exceptionally gorgeous, unique touch. </div>

Jota Cavitena is a dance that shows strong Spanish influence. This jota (is a genre of music) came from the Spanish-speaking town in Cavite named Ternate. Costume is elaborately embroidered "Maria Clara" and "barong tagalog". Castanets fashioned from Bamboo provide clacking sounds adding to the lilting music. </div>

I bought the 2 postcards of Twin Towers when my last visit to this gigantic beauties last December. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to see the Observation Deck at level 86 (total is 88) .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This postcard is made out of Palm Paper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Palm paper is a by-product / biomass waste generated during the production of palm oil. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is chlorine free and 100% biodegradable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As if you know that Malaysia is one of the major Palm oil producer in the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For every tonne of palm oil produced approximately 5 tonnes of agricultural waste, and which for Malaysia this equates to over 80 million tonnes a year. </div>

Before we left, Grandmother talked a lot about the arctic night we would fly through. ‘Isn’t it a mystical word, “arctic”? Pure and quite hard. And meridians. Isn’t that pretty? We’re going to fly along them, faster than the light can follow us… Time won’t be able to catch us.</div>

I always found fascinating of the design of the doors and windows for the houses in Penang. Peranakan in the Malay language means the child of those who are descendants of an intermarriage between a Malay and any other ethnic group. Some houses display the stylistic trends of front facade in different periods. In early 20th Century, the houses in the Straits Settlements (Penang or Malacca) adopted Western architectural styles, full length timber shutters, an arched transom over the window opening. Some of the riches during that time, even had a coloured tile on the walls and floors of the front facade.<br />
