I've mailed out the last set of postcards. I doubt it'll reach anyone by 31 December 2009. The mailmen have gone on holidays till next year. The last day for posting parcels was sometime last week. Heh. With all transport chaos in Britain, I don't think anyone's going to get any parcels or letters proper till February at least!Who cares! As long as they get to the recipients at some point in early 2010. The man didn't bother with postcards. BOYS. Tsk tsk. He prefers sending e-greetings or writing long emails.
The museums and bookstores have an amazing selection of chic/interesting/pretty/avant garde postcards. You name it, they have it, depending on which theme you want. I love paper and browsing through racks of cards. It's just fun for me to buy postcards, write silly thoughts and send them off to the friends. I didn't manage to stick clear tape over the addresses. Hope that in the rain and snow, the ink won't smudge too badly.
Few people send postcards nowadays. I just want to keep that tradition alive. Otherwise, in a couple of years, I'd have forgotten how to use my fingers to write.

that year when i lived in london, i bought/collected over 300 postcards! it was a time when free postcards started to be used as an advertising medium, and since not too many advertisers were using it, lots of the free postcards actually had really cool designs and no commercial message.
i still have them. heh.
kikare: i remember those days when the advertising postcards were just that and they leave a nice blank space for you to write on. now, i can't even use them. i don't have those anymore!
