| Happy New Year (즐거운 새해 행복하세요) |
The most beautiful postcard I have ever received. A pity the picture cannot show how gorgeous it is. The drawing is carved and outlined with golden ink and flowers, letters, bags and handstring are raised. It was the highlight of my cards table (I don't use mantelpieces) these holidays. ♥

| Green Gate (초록의문) |
Another ancient palace from the Joseon (조선) dynasty from the same collection
from before. I am told there are ten of them! Again the adhesive machine stamp (₩680).

| Goong (궁) |
Beautiful ancient palace from the Joseon (조선) dynasty. Sadly the postcard doesn't especify which palace is it or where is it located. The sender doesn't know either. No remarkable stamp although the adhesive machine stamp (₩580) features a riding archer hunting deers in the background *cute*.
Updated April 2012: It is one of the
Five Grand Palaces located in modern day Seoul, South Korea. My guessing is
Changdeok Palace (창덕궁), UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Please feel free to correct me.
