This time, the postcard is from Taiwan. 

The first name of Taiwan was Formosa (it's a portuguese name), because Portugueses and  Spanish people was there. After that, the island was Dutch. But under the control of the Ming Dinasty, a pirate conquered Taiwan. In 1895, after the first war japanesse-chinesse, China was obligated to cede it to Japan. After the World War II, the island regret to the China's goverment.

Its oficial language is Mandarin, but a lof of people speaks Taiwanese too. 

Now, it's the rabbit year (and the person who sent me the postcard wrote "Happy Chinese New Year" in Chinese!)
