oh what did i found in my mailbox?

That can't be true, I don't have any mailbox at all! The postcards keep coming to my house (usually found it on grandma's working table) banded with a single rubber band.. And I'm a bit curious, did the post office keeps stocking my mail until it reach some amounts and after it reach that amount it's delivered to my house? I mean, I never got just a single postcard.. It's been two, four, five postcards, yet it takes very long time (28-36 days) to reach my house! Oh la la, I don't know who's to blame, and I don't know why should I blame someone because all that I care about is the happiness I feel everytime I got my mail! And this time... I got 5 postcards! Let's... take.. a... look.


Snowy bell all the way! I always love snow. It goes along well with my favorite month of the year, december. That postcard shows St. Isaac's cathedral, covered in snow. The photo is so great and I could let my imagination flew there... for a while.






By the writing's that written there, you should've known what that is, right? Yea it's the Big Ben in London, yet it hasn't come from London, ay! It came from Monica in Portugal. She read that I adore London and the UK very much so she decided to send me this one. Though it was kinda classic, the card, but I really appreciate that she read my card preferences and decided to give me this 'veeery british card' and I favorited this! :D Besides, she also wrote me some sentences in Portuguese and translated it into English, because she read too that I love to learn some basic words from a foreign language. What a nice person she is! I have never got any cards talking about my addiction to the UK and she is the first one, ever!




And I don't know who's that two girls are. First I thought (my grandma thought of that too) that it's the picture of the sender. Oh ok so they're twins, and.. sending a photo to me. That doesn't make any sense. And I read the back of the card and.. I found out that it's a true postcard, titled "A welcoming land, Nanjhuang Miaoli". I was like, "where's the land?" And she/he who sent me this just said "Greetings from Taiwan, wish you like the postcard chooes for you." and added some kanji writings. So I'm totally clueless about this one and yes, I hope I'd like it too :)


This one is from a happy couple living in USA. They had married 49 years, and I hope they could celebrate their platinum anniversary (the 50th of their marriage) in a very well condition! They are just so adorable, using the pronoun "we" instead of "I" to write their sentences. This shows a "flutterby" named Tiger Swallowtail from Virginia's state. I'm not a big fan of butterfly, but I do love watching the real one.





And the last one is from Chile! Can you imagine that, Chile! Acually this one is totally unique to me. First, it shows the penguins, the Gentoo penguins live in the southern Chile. For me, penguins are just like the cutest living thing in the world, after Orlando Bloom and the other things that I declared "cutest living things in the world" lol. Second, the template itself is adorable. The background of the back of the card (yeah I know you're that smart, I know you understand what I mean haha!) is the flag of the Chilean Republic, and in the upper part printed un sabor de chile: a flavour from chile. Yap, a recipe! Adorable, right?

And.. you must've known that in the back of a postcard, there stood a line to border the "address section" and the "writings section". And you know what.. the border is the Chilean Map! Yeah, Chile Map used as a line because of its straight shape, that idea was just so cool! Look at the pic!

Ok so the sender looks quite cool haha. He's a guy named Pablo and I learned from his profile in Postcrossing.com that he loves The Beatles. Kinda.. similar to me :p And well he wrote to me in two languages, one paragraph in Spanish and one is the translation, in English. That was just awesome. I would like to send him a reply but I guess he didnt need it: he didn't reply my message til' now :'( So I guess that's where it should ends (what the..). Yay, this is where this posting should ends. Next I'll post about a mail from my friend Lena in Belarus and the next group of postcards that I received just yesterday. Happy postcrossing!
