Masan Port MAXIMUM CARD from South Korea ("Republic of Korea"), sent to me by my friend Ji-Ho. "Masan was a formerly a municipal city in South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea." - Wikipedia


"Masan Port

The port was once operated by the Mongolians (Yuan Dynasty in China) and used in the preparations to conquer Japan - which eventually failed. To this day, Masan features the small but historic "Mongojeong" (몽고정,蒙古井) meaning Mongol Well. It is located on Jasan-dong 117, and represents the Mongolian influence on the city.
Today, Masan Port is one of the city's most dominating features. It was first opened in 1899. The port connects much of the outside world with the Changwon Industrial Complex, Masan's Free Trade Zone and the future Sachun Industrial Complex."
Notice the presence of the bird (albatross?) in all 3 elements of the maxicard: postcard, stamp and postmark. :)

Happy Blue Monday! (meme)
