[LOCATION #21] CF-22: Typical costume

Hello! On 28/Feb/2015 I received my first postcard from Central Africa Republic and the African continent, sent by Esther. It shows a native girl wearing a folk costume from this country. Before receiving this postcard I had only read about this country in an encyclopedia, so receiving something from such a faraway country is just exciting; one of the most special postcards I’ve received so far.
