January was a good month. Veerle, Daniela, Nadine and Twinkle sent nice cards for my collections.

This is my 1st Happy Postcrossing from... the German states.
North Rhine-Westphalia,, commonly shortened to NRW, is located in Western Germany. With more than 17.9 million inhabitants, it is the most populous state of Germany. Apart from the city-states, it is also the most densely populated state in Germany. Covering an area of 34,084 km², it is the fourth-largest German state by size. Düsseldorf is the state capital.
The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, part the Temple of Heaven complex, in Beijing, is a magnificent triple-gabled circular building, 36 m (118 ft) in diameter and 38 m (125 ft) tall, built on three levels of marble stone base, where the Emperos of the Ming and Qing dynasties prayed for good harvests. The building is completely wooden, with no nails. The original building was burned down by a fire caused by lightning in 1889. The current building was re-built several years after the incident.
