Postcard from Latvia!

Today I got a nice postcard from Latvia! The postcard shows multiple views and scenes of the country. Latvia is a country in Northern Europe that was once a Soviet Republic. Its folklore dates back to over 1,000 years and its cuisine features fish, due to the country's location near the sea. Other local ingredients like potatoes and wheat are often used and their food generally does not have spices. The card was sent by Nastya from Russia who was in Latvia for vacation. The postcard is an official Postcrossing card, RU-2879983. Thanks Nastya!

Postcard from China!

Today I got a nice shaped postcard from China! The card features Tang Bao, a soup-filled baozi from Jiangsu. It is typically steamed in a bamboo steamer and is therefore called xiaolongtangbao. To eat it, one must bite it first to empty the soup. This is one of my favorite dishes! Thanks Li!
