Send me a card :)

If anyone reading this blog would like to send me a postcard, I would love it. Email me to get my address at: ashdepo@yahoo.com
Touristy postcards that show me your country, or city, or something significant about where you live are my favorite. If you would like one back, email me your address and I will be glad to send you from Minnesota USA as well.

Floating Market

I received this postcard earlier in the week from a direct swap on Facebook. It depicts a floating market in Indonesia.

The Kuin River in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, is an old river that functions as a market for traders. The Kuin River, which is located on the mouth of the vast Barito River, has been the heart of the Banjarmasin community for hundreds of years. The traders carry out the transaction from their vessels, which are known as jukung. The market starts getting busy just before sunrise until sunrise or from 5 to 7 am. Tourists may get pleasure from the panoramic view from the vessels while enjoying some with hot coffee or tea.
