oh what happened?

(This post should be posted in the beginning of March, which means that it's not my current situation :D enjoy.)

It seems that the number of my receiving postcards decreased :( I thought I sent too much but I got so few in return. And my destinations havent got their cards too.. Oooh, let me tell you that disappointing amount of cards: 3! Plus one from the direct swap.. Well anyway, I'll let you take a look at those :D

This one is from Russia, though the card itself is from Berlin. Many of my friends said that it's cool, but personally, red isn't my fave color and I prefer a multiple-ordinary landscape-view postcard rather than animated one, but it's allright! And yes.. I really hope she'll send something from her own country, but still.. everything's just ok with me, as long as you send what you should've send :D

This one is from Portland, Oregon, but the writer is Indonesian! Her parents comes from Indonesia, but I think she lives in the US since her childhood, because she didn't speak any Indonesian in that card. Well I think she is very lucky.. Most of Indonesians want to go to studying in foreign countries, and she is studying there. Well, everybody has their own luck, isn't it? :)

And this one from Netherlands is sent in an envelope! First I thought that the sender is a new member, cause she takes care of every postcard she sent + adding some things to that card. In my case, she send a piece of Netherlands' newspaper. She write, "I include a newspaper front, perhaps you like to see how our exotic Dutch news looks like." And I was soooo happy to receive my first foreign newspaper! And there's a surprise about it.. But first, just take a look at the card and the piece of newspaper she sent :D

this is the card

+cute stamps!

and this is the newspaper piece

That's just plain cool :D and talking about the surprise... the sender has already sent thousands of cards! Which means she's not a newbie, yet she 'treated' me that well! Wow.. what a nice postcrosser, danke Thea :)

And the card I got from swap is this one:

his hometown

I think this is my first card from direct swap. His name is Wu Jian Ming from China, he sent me a request and asked if I have a nice card+stamps for his son. I replied to him that I'm interested, but since I'm not a stamp collector, I'll just send him a stamp I found in the post office and I asked for his 'agreeement' about that. And he wasn't replying anything... And that card comes to me. LOL I was kinda "What is this frooom.. No postcard ID :'(" Few minutes afterward I realized that it's from him haha. And I replied it.. Hmm.. next time, if you wanna do a swap with me, just be clear on your wishes cause I want all my mail to be the best they could be ;)

That's all for the beginning of March.. next I'll post about the cards I bought a month ago. Some are already flew to another country, few still rest here amongst my collection. So.. wait for it! :)
