Kami the II. 1,723 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 While going through the mess on my desk, I saw a booklet that seemed like an adult coloring book. But when I flipped the first page, I realized it is actually a book of postcards... Our English teacher at junior high had once recommended us to send postcards back home when we are abroad. Even though I haven't been abroad yet, I always buy postcards from places I visit to send them later... It's a pity that I don't have someone close to send off postcards but just dreaming of it gives me a refreshing & happy feeling... So I wonder if did any of my fellow OH'ers send postcards b4 to their beloved ones... cr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMJI MOODS 11,518 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Since I've only been on the internet a few years, yes. Mostly "Thank you" letters for gifts received. My grandma says you should always send a nice note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiq 2,225 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 when I was younger. I would mail a letter to a family friend who lived in england. it was cute. I remember anticipating receiving a letter. Now I dont like when I get mail because I know its bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sungjins 676 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 yeah I used to have a pen pal. And last year me and my boyfriend thought it'd be cute to send letters to each other lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiraishin 1,276 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Thanks for your recommendation, I'll probably try it depending on the cost I exchanged some 64 postcards there. The only cost is how much it costs for you to send it abroad, depending on the target country. Mail service in my country for sending a postcard is just a rip off, so I stopped. But I did receive some nice postcards from around the world. However take into consideration that most of the users on that site are from US or main European countries/Russia, so the random postcard you'll get most probably will come from there =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
