MY POSTCARD-PAGE

... Lovely view of the land where the Drums are sacred since ancient times... ritual dance of the Royal Drum is a spectacle combining powerful, synchronized drumming with dancing, heroic poetry and traditional songs... the entire population of Burundi recognizes it as a fundamental part of its heritage and identity... the performances are used to mark ceremonies such as births, funerals... they play at local festivities, national events and are considered to be the most important representatives of the country’s musical tradition... Thanks a lot Alena! (✿◠‿◠)Stamp: 

... A wonderful hilly landscape... the Bururi province is the home of Bururi Forest Nature Reserve, Rumonge Nature Reserve and Kigwena Nature Reserve... they offer fantastic opportunities for hiking and trekking... with well-maintained trails and stunning views of the surrounding landscapes... along the way, visitors can admire the unique flora and fauna and enjoy the tranquility of nature... Thanks a lot Alena! (✿◠‿◠) Fungi

... My second fantastic card coming from this small African country... a wonderful new addition to my collection... the land of culture and beauty... but sadly enough is it one of the 10 poorest countries in the world... not having enough water is one of the main problems that people in Burundi have... the lack of clean drinking water has led to many diseases in the country ( ⌣́,⌣̀)...that's also the reason why I always have mixed feelings by receiving a card from one of these countries...just saying... Thanks a lot Deo and a special Big Thanks to Maick for arranging  this swap for me! ♥‿♥




Banana is  an important material  to brew beers and wines. Banana wine is a traditional drink of the Burundi people and they consume a large amount of banana wines each year.

Ripened bananas  in a wooden trough being prepared for fermentation, to which is added a little sorghum flour. After having fermented four of five days, the beer is ready and is pored into smaller jugs, ready for consumption.

During festivals or on important occasions, the Burundi people all like to drink banana wines for celebrations.

Although the country is landlocked, much of the southwestern border is adjacent to Lake Tanganyika.
