Postcrossing Incoming

To February 12, 2013

I have a great group of cards for you today.  I’ve started to receive a lot of cards again, so it is rather difficult to keep these posts up to date.  Still, here we go!

From the Ukraine comes this pretty card of what I believe is a town council building.  The sender didn’t write very much, just that he hopes I like his postcard and that he sends his best wishes.  Thanks Oleg!

This next card comes from Malaysia.  Waimun sent it and tells me that the wall painting is by Ernest Zacharevic, and is located in the heritage area in Georgetown.  I found a neat time lapse video of the painting of this mural on Vimeo, which you can find here.

She also writes that she is Chinese and she is going to celebrate New Year next week.  

"This Old Man" Mural

She signs off by wishing me a Happy Chinese New Year and saying that she hopes I like the postcard that she picked for me.  I do, thanks so much!

Sari in The Netherlands send me this card with author Eileen Chang on it.  I haven’t read any of her works—yet, but hopefully I will one day.  Doing research on Eileen Chang I discovered that she didn’t have a very happy life.  I felt rather sorry for her to be honest.

Eileen Chang

Sari wrote about her hometown, Deventer.  She said it is one of the oldest towns in The Netherlands.  More than 98000 people live there and they have many beautiful historical buildings and the river IJssel, which makes her town’s location and surroundings unique.  

Thank you Sari for sending a female author card.  I’m so pleased to receive it.

This card was greatly appreciated!  I love Humphrey Bogart and to receive a movie card with him on it was a huge bonus.  This card came all the way from…Sendai, Japan.  Yay!  I love Sendai, did I ever mention that?

Cecily sent her warm greetings, and told me that it snowed a lot in Sendai a few days ago, and it was hard to drive.  She also asked how my life in Japan was and wished me a happy life.

To Have and Have Not

Thanks so much for an excellent card Cecily!

My next card comes all the way from Taiwan.  It was sent by a high school girl, but she didn’t write her name in Romanji so I can’t read it.  She writes that she loves Japanese culture but she can’t speak Japanese!

Never mind about that, I can’t either!

I received this card before from Singapore.  I believe that it was the same person that sent it, he probably has two or more accounts.  

He did use a lovely panda stamp, so that was greatly appreciated.

Andrea sent this scenic card of Bremerhaven Germany.  She writes that she lives near this city.  She works in accounting and her hobbies are reading, travelling and yoga.  

Greetings from Bremerhaven

Thanks Andrea!  I’m always happy to learn about the people who send cards to me.

Well, there you are!  Another group of seven great cards.  Which one do you like best?  For me, the Bogart card is my favourite, with Eileen Chang a very close second.  However, I really like all of the cards!

Until next time!
