I also do postcrossing

I love sending postcards from trips, at this time I collect applications for postcards on my instagram and those who fall in postcrossing.com. During our postal expedition, my colleague and I sent about 150 postcards in 5 days.

I should send some postcards again this year, not just on World Postcard Day (if that'll happen again this year). I did receive a lovely card from Postcrossing HQ.

I haven't kept count of the number of Postcrossing stamp issues... Some countries are greedy for it!

Quote from Waffle: "It surprises me that any of Old Warsaw was still standing after 1944."

From the UNESCO website:
"During the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944, more than 85% of Warsaw's historic centre was destroyed by Nazi troops. After the war, a five-year reconstruction campaign by its citizens resulted in today's meticulous restoration of the Old Town, with its churches, palaces and market-place."

Hello all,
This card arrived a few days ago. Since then I have been puzzling.
Can a 14 year old girl write like this? Then: what am I wanted to join?
And what does the red circle stamp with the "2" mean?
The stamp is reproduced in full scale on the back.
Any opinion(s)?

Hi, Heinz55. I was searching for something on google and this picture comes up to me, then I realized that was my postcard! I don't know why are you question If a 14-years girl can write like this. (after 7 years later saw the postcard again makes me cringe and feel awkward about my horrible writing.) I think that is normal for middle school kids writing like that, and I believe other people who are the same age as me can write it much better. (I am not good at English and always got low grades). At that time I didn't go to any international school, but I did my high school and university overseas. LOL (sorry for my poor English again

)

If the recipients' profiles indicate their interests, then it would be great to find stamps with suitable pictures

Done, 3 postcards sent with 2 x 1st class each, of differing issues... There isn't much room on a postcard for some of RM's bigger first class stamps.... NL, Singapore, US.

I now have 4 postcrossing cards, all taller than they are broad. They will probably turn sideways. Does anyone else get this hassle and how can you stop it from happening?

: Maxicard from the U.K. Gardens 1983 series issue. Let us see if it turns. Well I never, it did not!

Oh dear, you do have a problem! Perhaps some online shopping is in order!

Before lockdown, had you seen postcards in your local shops?
