On 14th October I got two postcards: one from Austria and one from Japan.
The card from Austria shows various views of Carinthia. Carinthia or Kärnten is the southernmost Austrian State. Its capital city is Klagenfurt am Wörthersee.
A very interesting stamp was used on the card. The celebrates the Centenary of the Carinthian Plebiscite, which determined the final southern border between the Republic of Austria and the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes after World War I. In the plebiscite the people in the southern part of Carinthia, which was home to a majority of Slovenes, voted for Austria. Two special postmarks about the jubilee were used on the card.
Thank You very much Anita!
