From Who is your Last Postcard?

I am quite inspired by a blog post written by one of multiply-er about post card.

Before I shared my post-card life with you, I’d like to show off one of the latest postcard I received from the best friend I have ever had.

 

this is called picture postcard (e hagaki) which has: backside with picture:

and front side to write address and short news:

I received the card last december. It’s super unique. the date stamp on the stamp *haizzz..* is arranged according japanese structure of writing: YY MM DD. unlike our american based writing style (DD MM YY). She’s sending me the card to say Happy Eid. 

 

I think it’s sweet. It’s been a while since I send and receive postcards. more importantly, I have forgotten how it feels to get a surprise this way. Fast e-mails, unlimited internet access has drift me away from the fun of writing letters or postcards. Okagesamade (thanks to her), since then I start sending postcards to my family and friends, anxiously waiting for them to received and excitingly imagining their reaction to it It’s a sweet thing definitely. And I can understand why old folks can fall in love when e-mails’r not around. Mails make you wait. and waiting, makes you more  and more curious, devoting your interest to other person (ok, i should stop before this blog entry turn into psychological discussion -_-).

 

well, postcard is definitely a must-try ingredients to enhance your friendship and relationship with the ones you love. But beware to use a standard mail service, too long waiting will reduce the meaning, but too fast will not set the effect on the stage
