Postcard From Oulu, Finland
17th January 2007
Hi Louise,
This is watertower from my hometown Oulu, now you can built it yourself. I used to live very close to this building. It was like landmark to me.
I am studying architecture, so I thought this could be nice sight from my city, Oulu. This is the fifth biggest city in Finland, with 12900 habitants, her is univeristy with 15000 studnets, so here is lot of young people. This winter has been very warm, but normally it should be our coldest days(-15 to -30). Summer is beautiful but short. I've always lived next to sea, so we go sailing and swimming to sea.
All the best. Greeting from Oulu, Finland

拿出長尺量量長寬,這張明信片竟然有約30公分長、約21公分寬,可以算是一張巨型明信片囉!至少這是我的第一張。因為寄信者是學建築的,所以拿起剪刀沿著邊把圖片剪下,就可以做成像封面一樣的建築物歐!但是我哪捨得呀!
他洋洋灑灑的寫著,字裡行間的一些數據讓我更加了解他的城市。芬蘭的朋友真的是很熱情呢!我還想說住在那麼冷的地方,個性是不是也比較嚴峻?看來我是大錯特錯了。
下次我也要在明信片上用英文跟朋友介紹台灣。
