Want Mail?

www.postcrossing.com

I never get good mail. I get the usual piles of junk mail: coupons I will never use, mail for previous tenants, credit card offers, etc. Occasionally I'll get a bill (I get most of them online) or the bank statement. But real mail generally eludes me. So I found a way to get something interesting in the mail box every now and then. The website above is a neat way to send and receive postcards! You sign up and the site randomly generates a user for you to send a postcard to. Likewise, your name pops up for people in other places to send a postcard to you. So far I have received postcards from India, New Zealand, South Korea, Germany, Finland, and Italy. And I have sent cards to Finland, Germany, China, Australia, Norway, Canada, Estonia, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. Its always interesting to see what kind of cards people want and what they want you to say. I asked for cards of their towns or anything really. My special request for the writing is that they tell me how to say a bad word in their language. So far only one person has complied... Oh well, can't get everything you want! (If I did, I'd be a long way from home with the love of my life and an endless bank balance!)

And by the way, in case you didn't get the hint - I get all excited about receiving mail, so send me something! Or post a comment!
