Postcrossing

Monday, November seventh, 2011

I found this neat project online called Postcrossing where you can send and receive postcards from all over the world. It has been pretty entertaining so far. The closest postcard I have sent is to North Carolina and the farthest I have sent is Guangdong China. I have also sent cards out to Russia, Ukraine, Finland, Netherlands and many other places. After you send one and the person receives it your name starts to appear on peoples lists and they start to send you postcards. So far I have received four:

This first one I got was from a girl who's grandfather used to bring her to the westpoint campus when she was younger.

This card is from romania and the sender took the picture himself of a monastery built in 1532 

This card from Buffalo NY is from a lady who has passed through Virginia several times on the way to Myrtle beach.

Lin, from Taiwan, sent me this card. Lin is a high school teacher and thinks some of her students are cute but does not think they study very hard.

It costs 98 cents to send a postcard internationally and I went out today and bought a sheet of twenty 98 cent stamps. Yesterday I bought more postcards because I was running out. I also found a way to make my own postcards and print them from the Costco Photo Center.
