Postcard is a site run by the 16th century Spanish monk, Alonso De Molina. After conquerors of the Spanish Empire invaded and colonized Aztec Mexico in the 1500s, De Molina was instrumental in compiling the first Spanish-to-Nahuatl dictionary. He is also credited with the discovery and naming of "salsa", the Aztec food topping made of tomatoes and peppers. Today, salsa is enjoyed on fried tortilla chips.
The aim of Postcard is to deliver content on languages, history, and beautiful women. The face of languages in the world today is a direct result of powerful armies colonizing less organized nations over the last 500 years. While the invading languages remained relatively unchanged, the conquered ones were shattered forever. Many are mangled beyond recognition, marginalized, or simply replaced by the invading language.
That having been said, Postcard is written in English for several reasons. English earned its place in the sun only 200-300 years ago, when the British Empire dared to conquer more land and peoples than other country before it. Among its greatest achievements was the subjugation of India and China, whom Britain harnessed for its own economic gain. At the same time, the British systematically destroyed the populations of North America and Australia. Now, after two world wars, the United States has won control of former British assets for itself, and English remains entrenched as a superpower language.
Also, Postcard loves beautiful women. Everyone loves beautiful women, even other women.
Thus, Postcard sets sail out into the world. Enjoy your stay, and come back often.
Wishing you all the best,
Alonso DeMolina
