This grand library in Minsk is an extremely strange modern feel it. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It seems very cool at first, but the more I look at it, the more "gimick-y" it feels. It could very well be more beautiful when seen in person.
I do, however, love the stamps. These two Belarus stamps are the only two I've shown so far because they were on all the postcards that were sent thus far - so apparently Ari had bought all of them, wrote them out, and sent them all in Belarus (insert Callie's scream of "That's cheating!" here...) On the blog, Ari mentioned that his travel companion, Sunny, was obsessed with sending postcards from the country she got them from; I think there's merits in that. (Love you Ari, I'm just giving you a hard time ^_^ )
Not to worry, there are new stamps in the following postcards. Stay tune.
Details of Minsk can be found on Ari's travel blog here, here, here and here.
