I'm a postcrosser.

I joined postcrossing about a year ago. It is a postcard crossing project.

"Send a postcard and receive a postcard back from a random person somewhere in the world!"

Not many active postcrossers in Malaysia. I wonder why? Maybe people are lazy.

Well, is so easy that you can just sign up. Request an address from the website. Then, mail your postcard to the address. Wait to receive a postcard. Lastly, register the received postcard in the system. You can even do direct swaps.

Is so fun! I got excited everytime i received a new postcard or a message that sent by the receiver. I'm glad that sometimes my postcards can made someone smile.

" You really made my day yesterday when I came home from a hard day's work and found your card....................   From Marcel."

"Thank you for the card! I like it very much............. From - Ministrialia - "

"I love you postcard of cute cuttlefishes. I'm going to show my children............ From Nancy."

However, is so hard to get unique painted postcard at here. What i saw were only tourist postcards. Urghhh.... I don't want just send tourist postcards. Well, I'm trying to get differences type of postcards when I travel to other places.

So far, these are the postcards I had been receiving.

I don't really like receiving tourist cards. Among those postcards, below are few that I like most.

Up: I think the words on lorry are advertise some kind of oil. -Hong Kong-

Down: Clothes hanging behind some old apartment.  -China-

p/s: I like the oldies feel or should I say vintage style?

Up: Hanoi's autumn -Vietnam-

Down: "Barong" dance -Bali-

(Both are from colleagues)

Heartworm carried by mosquitoes and live in the blood vessel of dogs and cats. 

-Canada-

Left: "Gib niemals auf" = Never give up! -Austria-

Right: "Peiyu" hand painted about what she saw along her journey -Taiwan-

I learnt some new things through the postcards. Yes, keep learning!

One of my Real to-do list.

Before this, I never know there's a place called Mink, a capital of Belarus. Belarus? Oh, where's this country? My geography sucks. So, I wiki-ed that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus

And heartworm?! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirofilaria_immitis

Many dogs will show only little or no sign of infection even after the worms become adults. It can cause severe weight loss, coughing up blood and finally congestive heart failure. So, dog's lovers beware of this tiny creature. 

Not forget that the stamps from the postcards are beautiful!!

Wolves, island, ladies, Queen of England, buildings and so on.

Happy postcrossing!
