Hou Doe

As you know I've joined Postcrossing. I decided to share all the postcards I've received so far as its fun to see all the variety together.

I love the complete mix of postcards I've received and its interesting what people have chosen to send me despite me being so vague on my profile.

 

Some facts about these postcards are that...

 

3 of the 8 postcards are from Holland which is almost half of my postcards.

Most of the people I write to are from Holland too so maybe its a sign to visit the country maybe?

Hou Doe translates as Hello in a region of Holland.

Apart from 1 postcard all others are from Europe.

The one that's not from Europe I received from Singapore.

I don't understand why people don't explain whats on the postcard as I'm quite curious.

Also one postcard I received from a Dutch postcrossing meet up. Its fun to see all the names on the card even though they weren't completely handwritten.

 

I will try not to send any more postcards this year even though its been so nice to come home to mail everyday nearly due to receiving a postcard. Its really exciting to see a postcard and wonder where its come from. I need to consider the fact though that I will be sending out postcards for Christmas like I have done for the last 2 years.

 

I'll show you what I've sent tomorrow.

4 corners...

In recent weeks my friends have really spoiled me with postcards so I have been doing small doses of posts in order not to bombard you completely. Its great to see where my friends have been travelling to in between writing letters. Its also as I say a great way for me to travel with them as they write such amazing travel reports too :). I've linked to wiki pages if you are curious to read more about these places.

Suriname and Guyane

The first one is of Heidelberg, Germany and this is the first fabric postcard that I have received, its nice to get something unique sometimes too. Spain and Japan.

The building in Japan I first thought was a building in England as it looks so similar to our Odeon so its quite impressive to think they have some beautiful buildings like this in Japan. Here's a link for our ex-Odeon which is finally getting a make over when I last went even though I'm not 100% sure exactly what they are making yet. Can you believe they wanted to knock it down? I choose that link as I found the inside interesting and eerie, why would you let a perfectly good building turn into something like that. It could have been an old fashion diner/casino/mini cinema

Have you got any plans to go abroad lately or even just get away for a bit?
