Birthday greetings from Hungary

Boldog születésnapot kívánok

6 May 2015 | From Emese of Hungary

OFFICIAL POSTCROSSING

Emese randomly requested for my address in Postcrossing on February 9th - which happens to be my mum's birthday. She waited more than a month before mailing the postcard - March 27th, which happens to be my friend's birthday. It reached my mailbox passed my birthday still though - May 6th, just a few days before my sister's husband's birthday :p

Without her telling me, I would have not known that this is a birthday postcard. I would have thought it got something to do with travel or geography. The words written across the postcard can be literally translated to "I wish you a happy birthday." according to Mr. Google Translate.

SURPRISE POSTCARD | POSTCARD SENT FROM HUNGARY

This is a surprise postcard from Sylvie. We've swapped some postcards before, and she sent me this from her trip to Hungary as thanks. She wrote about her vacation - how she enjoyed going to the thermal baths and pools. She added that Budapest is a beautiful city, but needs a lot of restoration.

Budapest is the capital and the largest city of Hungary, and one of the largest cities in the European Union. It is the country's principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation centre, sometimes described as the primate city of Hungary.

Budapest has only officially carried the title as a Spa City for 80 years, but its unique facilities were fully recognized by Roman legionaries over 2000 years ago.
