Not boring at all, Val, in contrary: interesting! I love those sheep, so if this card still is available, and not compostated / buried under any boredom, please send it to me and I will send you a really bored/boring postcard in return! (I’ll send you a postcard or two anyway :-) )

Thanks Alan. The back of he card clearly says, in English, 'Tiger Palm Garden', but it could be a mis-spelling. It also says something in an Oriental script with which I am not familiar.

May all your tigers be balmy. And barmy.

RIP (Rest In Pastis)

I believe it is actually the Tiger Balm Garden, a sort of Confucian theme park sponsored by the makers of a medicinal ointment. So no palms expected, or actual tigers. The original was in Hong Kong but there are others in Singapore and China.

THREE MORE FROM MIKEL UNTZILLA - TRES VECES 'GRACIAS'

1. The Tiger Palm Garden

I think this Garden is in Singapore. Whereever it is, there doesn't seem to be either a Tiger or a Palm (or both) in sight. So, boys and girls, ladies and gentlement, my Lords and Ladies, etc this is not the Tiger Palm Garden

2. North Coast View, Atlantic Ocean, Honduras

This one HAS got Palm Trees -- lots of them. But I couldn't see a tiger, can you?

3. Crater Lake, Mount Ruapehu, NZ

"The snow-covered mountains of the Tongario National Park are clearly shown in this aerial photograph -- in the foreground, the summit of Mt Ruapehu with its hot water lake, then the symmetrical cone of Mt Ngaruhoe, a semi-active volcano, and beyond that, the broken expanse of Mt Tongariro's crater. Behind the crater can be found dragons, tigers and palm trees, and don't forget that you are never more than 115 miles away from a McDonalds: there is one here!." (This last sentence was added by VMH.)

13.08.20 Dare Mister Val M. H., ....yes, yes, Ms. Jenn M. gets it. This is an uneventful & boring postcard. Alas, thanks to all concerned. SinCelery, Richard C........ Post Scriptum: However, I do wish to clarify that I am pleased that such 'ho-hum' postcards  exist & are readily available.

FROM JENN -- THANKS MS MILTENROERER!

The United States Post Office, Salisbury, Maryland

This very large USPO building is reserved for the exclusive use of IUOMA Mail Artists in Maryland. However, there is only one IUOMA Mail Artist in Maryland -- and she has not been active IUOMA-wise since 2014 -- so not much goes on here

BORING POSTCARD OF ISOLE DI BRISSAGO, LAKE MAGGIORE, SWITZERLAND

90,000+ people visit the botanical gardens on this island each year. One of them must have bought this Boring Postcard but never sent it to anyone, because it ended up in my Postcard Box
