Lots and Lots of Postcards
This past Friday, 4 postcards showed up in my mailbox. And then on Saturday, another came. All I have to say, is that postcards from around the world beat a bill any day of the week. 🙂
Card # 1
Tallinn is the capital of Estonia. Looks pretty. I really like the old buildings. So medieval. I’d bet money that the sky in this particular photo isn’t real, though. Take a closer look. What do you think? I can’t figure out why someone would photoshop a fake sky into a postcard.
I found it funny that she didn’t spell out China all the way. Interesting stamp, too. I imagine I’ll be getting many history lessons in the near future. I’ll have to look up his name to see what he did in order to be deserving of a stamp.
Card # 2
Mikkeli, Finland.
Anna-Lisa wrote with a very interesting pen.
Some letters are dark blue while others are light blue.
Is that a moth or a little butterfly?
Card # 3
Sibel lives in Manisa, Turkey, but this postcard is representing Uchisar, Nevsehir – Turkey. Sibel was the first person to receive a postcard from me through Postcrossing. She wanted to send me a postcard in return, so I gave her my address. Turkey seems like a really cool place to visit. I’ll have to put it on my places to go before I die.
I like it when postcards have a lot of writing on them. I’ve always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon. Had Phil and I had the money to do it in Yangshuo, China, we so would have.
Card # 4
I was expecting one postcard, not two from Sibel. I was pleasantly surprised.
All of these postcards are making me antsy. I’ll need to travel somewhere soon.
Card # 5
This fighter jet came all the way from Dayton, Ohio, from Emily. It’s actually her photo, not something she bought. This is something I am going to start doing soon – taking and sending my own postcards. I’ve got over 5,000 to choose from just from spending a year in China.
This is the first card I have received from America. I doubt it will be the last. Something like 18% of Postcrossing users are from America.
it seems like the links are dead, i’ve changed so many templates, this might be the reason. i gotta edit the html,
or start from scratches, pfff! By the way, it’s the very first time that i see my cards on someone’s blog, felt strange but in a good sense. have a wonderful day!

I noticed youre street address wasn’t on any of the cards. How did they get to you without it? Or did you delete it for privacy reasons? Just wondering…

its funny, this thing with the skies over Tallinn…they do seem awkward, and moreover, the sky looks like that over Tallinn ONLY! 🙂 Wouldnt surprise me if its photoshopped…
Btw, that comment above me reminded me of how the first time i thought the same, that what you show off on the card was ACTUALLY your address, and i wondered to myself, in what tiny place does she live that no street name or numbers are required…..yeah well, pardon my ignorance 🙂
