The latest card i sent to Austria arrived yesterday. Not my first card to Austria but what i love about this is the comment she sent ~~
“Dear Artene,
Thank you very much for your super-beautiful card of the Alburquerque church in Bohol!
What a really lovely view, I appreciate it very much!
Yes, like you I love Postcrossing, I am virtually addicted, hehe.
I wish you all the best and many lovely cards through Postcrossing,
Cheerio, Sibylle”
I was giddy with happiness yesterday afternoon when i got hold of the 7 cards. It’s been 3 weeks since the last time i picked a mail and i was so surprised when the person at the counter (ate esther) handed me seven cards. They are from the following countries: China, USA, France, United Kingdom, Finland, Germany, and Austria.
Here are the cards and their respective notes:
Note: Greetings from Austria!
Sender: Baikalsea

Note:
Greetings from China! You’ve been to China? Have you been to Shaoxing? Shaoxing is in Zhejiang. It’s a historical and cultural city. There has beautiful scenery. I am glad you understand chinese. You must be able to understand the blessing I wrote to you in chinese:… ( i can’t read the characters but of course i can read pinyin)

Hello Arlene! This postcard shows a part of the Castle of my small hometown Fontainebleau. It is located about seventy kilometers from Paris. The first references on the castle date back to the 12th century and all the great kings of France have lived here for eight centuries.
On the pond are living big old carps. It is a nice place for walks in sunny days because the castle is sorrounding by gardens. I live 5 minutes by foot from the castle. Happy Postcrossing!
Sender: Alexandra
(I really envy her. Imagine living just 5 minutes away from the castle!!! I guess that is so cool)

Note:

Note:
Hi Arlene! Sunny greetings from Helsinki, the beautiful seaside capital of Finland. I can see views like these in my mother’s place in the central Finland and i’ll go there next month for two weeks. I love to live in the city, but it’s always nice to visit the countryside. Have a nice day!

Hopefully next week i can mail 6 cards.
I just heart postcrossing!
I should have made this post last week yet because 5 cards arrived together last week. This is my first time that the cards came in bunch. They were from (1) Los Angeles, California (2) South China (3) Taiwan (4) Germany (5) Neitherlands
I haven’t scanned them all but the 2 of the 5 cards were already scanned and walled by the sender:
This is from Torsten of Rostock, Germany.
A beautiful card of KHEB.
The note with it says: Greetings from Germany! I live in Rostick, a Mansealic on the Baltic Sea with 200,000 inhabitants. City foundation was 1218. To Berlin on the highway is only 2 hours.
This is the one from LA, California!
Carrick sent this with the note: Hello Arlene! Greetings from California! I live near Los Angeles in the city of Irvine. LA is known for its freeways and a lot of traffic. The city is very spread out so almost everyone has their own car.
If i can take the time to scan the other 3 cards then i would share them with you later.
My postcrossings latest update is that I got 5 cards that is on travelling status. 3 of that is still to be mailed later in the afternoon. 1 card mailed to Germany expired after 98 days. I guess it was lost in the mailing highway. So after this post, I am going to prepare 3 postcards to be mailed to Finland, USA, and Shanghai China. Id like also to note that the recipients this time are all male.
Are you collecting post cards? Do you like receiving postcards as well as sharing postcards to people around the world? Then you better check out www.postcrossing.com – you will indeed enjoy the sharing.
I dropped Philippine postcards at the post office the other day. They are off to the following:
I got a call from the post office last Friday that i got 5 postcards waiting there. Hopefully I can pick them up tomorrow. I totally forgot about it this morning when i had so much time — but it was just too hot to really go out in the sun plus am wearing my Monday uniform. When i asked someone to mail the cards for me I also forgot to tell her to pick the cards. Haiii am getting so much forgetful these days. (sign of old age?)
I received this from Niduska of Finland, thanking of me the postcard i sent her.
I checked out my postcrossing stats and it says i can now send another set of 5 as all my cards had been received already. One postcard to Germany is marked expired after 76 days. I guess it’s already lost in the mail.
I got another card today – from Russia!
A cathedral in Nergoroel, a typical example of Russian architecture.
This card is from a person called Helen but am sad to say I can’t say thanks nor registered that i received this card because she forgot to write the tracking number from Russia. This is my first from Russia.
1 postcard is Netherlands, the other 1 is from Israel and the last one from Stromberg.
This is the one from Israel:
Note at the back:
Shalom Arlene! I am sending you this card because it is full of the Israeli nature and even contains the Israel “ship of the desert” – a camel and its traditional Beduin gear. Wish you all the best! Vera
This is from Stromberg:
Note with it:
Hello Arlene! Here you have a view over wonderful Stromberg, a small villae, 3000 inhabitants. Iit’s always funny: we live on the top of the mountain. Looking down on the people living downtown. hahaha It’s so great to live in such a small town. I don’t like big cities. We’re got wonderful nature around, next city is about 6 km always. I love living in Stromberg. Greetings from Germany! — Alexandra
Note with it:
Hello Arlene, this is an old sanatorium build by Duiker. He was rather famous Dutch Architect. The town where i live has still lots of buildings restored by him so that they are still there. All the best! Anan
My card to China has reached Beijing in 19 days. And Sophie left this comment in the notice mail: “Thanks for your postcard. The view is really beautiful! And I have a plan of travelling to Philippines next year. I will not miss this ”
I can’t wait to get my next set of postcards. Next week am scheduled to send another set of postcards.
Last week Thursday, i got my first two cards from Postcrossing and it came all the way from Latvia (Riga) and Spain (Barcelona).
The post office staff called me up yesterday and I have 3 cards in there that needs to be picked-up. I thought yesterday noontime i could but time did not allow me. Same thing happened today. HOpefully tomorrow I can and will share it here in my blog next week.
For now, enjoy these two:
Note from Jordi:
Hola Arlene, The Monument to Colon is one of the most famous statues of Barcelona constructed in honoring the discoverer Christopher Colon. It is raised in the square of Porta de la Pau (Portal of Peace). The monument was constructed as culminating point of the works of improvement of the littoral of Barcelona, done on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888. It turned immediately into one of the icons most typical of the city. I hope you like this card. All the best for the next upcoming year 2010 to you and your beloved ones! Best regards from Barcelona.

Note from Sievia:
Greetings from Latvia! It’s a small country at the Baltic Sea, and on this card you see the skyline of our capital Riga. It’s an old city, founded in 1201, and it has a beautiful old town with lots to see, so come and visit! Right now, everything is under quite a deep cover of snow, and I’m looking forward to springtime.
