Postcards

Going to try to make this into a regular feature, mostly because it doesn't take any effort.

2 postcards addressed to Austria. They're pictures of the Empire State Building at sunset that say 'Sunset from the Empire State Building Observatory.' So they're pictures of the Empire State Building at sunset from the Empire State Building Observatory, which is a neat trick.

On each of the postcards, which appear to have been written by different people, the authors have drawn little stick figures sitting on the ledges on opposite sides of the building and staring out into the distance. On one of the postcards, a figure seems to be pointing and says "Here is California" The other faces the opposite direction and says "I wu coteola hom" (? German?)

On the other postcard, one of the figures exclaims (the speech bubble has sparkles around it) with a flourish of his arm "Austria ist diese Richtung" while his doppelganger sits on the other side and warns with a measure of caution, "Nein--Austria ist diese Richtung"

So the captions say something like "Austria is a red balloon," "No--Austria is a red balloon"

Is the state religion of Austria dada or something?

Online Translation Super Happy Fun Time Update: Apparently its, "Austria is this direction," "No, Austria is this direction" Ohhhhhhhh.

p.s. One of the cards is signed with two smiley-faces and one of them has glasses. Sprecken se cute!

I love how you clearly don't speak German but have no problem guess-translating. Cute.
