I believed that most of you here rarely send real mail to other.
Since the advanced technology is growing rapidly, people will just talk to other by using instant messaging instead of sending real mail.
But for me, I like to receive real mail! Therefore, postcrossing is a great opportunity for me to send real mail and receive real mail from other.
Let me first introduce what is Postcrossing. It is a "project" with the goal that allows anyone to send and receive postcards from all over the world! The idea is simple, for each postcard you send, you will receive one back from a random postcrosser from somewhere in the world.
Receiving postcards from different places in the world, many of which you probably have never heard of, can turn your mailbox into a box of SURPRISES!
Does it sound amazing?
Definitely yes for me!!!
Then let me talk about how does it work like.
You can just request to send a postcard and the system will give you an address. Pick a postcard with friendly message on it along with its postcard ID and send to postcard out !
When the postcard arrives, its recipient will register it using its postcard ID. This step will make you eligible to receive a postcard from another member on the web.
Then you can just receive a postcard form others! And what you have to do is just follow the steps to register it.
After talking about the background and how does it work like, I would like to share my own experience.
I have joined this in a month ago, and I have sent seven postcards out already. Two of them were successfully sent to the member in Germany and China respectively. The reminding is still traveling.
I will write some message about my own place or something special in my daily life to the recipient. For the postcard, I chose the card with the view of Hong Kong, or the card that I loved some much. Because I want the recipient to know how great Hong Kong is, or share my interest with the recipient.
Postcrossing is really a meaningful task for me. When I was informed that my postcard was successfully sent to the recipient, I will be very excited. I'm sure you will have the same feeling as I do.
After my sharing, I hope more people will engage in it.
