China has these neat postcards where there is another photo of the card that you can tear off and keep it for yourself. It's about a quarter of the size of the actual card. So you can keep a copy of the card for yourself while send the other part to someone else. Clever idea. I haven't seen this from other countries, though. The send sent me the whole card so I have both parts, as you can see in the photo.
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
