Unesco RR "ORC" Group 105

When i was having dinner my father gave me an envelope that ended up in my neighbours' mailbox. Now this RR is completed for me. I've received cards from Japan sent by "bimbim75" and Estonia from Anne "nanou".

Byodo-in Temple in Kyoto.

"The origins of Tallinn date back to the 13th century, when a castle was built there by the crusading knights of the Teutonic Order. It developed as a major centre of the Hanseatic League, and its wealth is demonstrated by the opulence of the public buildings (the churches in particular) and the domestic architecture of the merchants' houses, which have survived to a remarkable degree despite the ravages of fire and war in the intervening centuries." - in: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/822
