HELLO FROM BRAZIL, RUSSIA, ITALY, CHINA, CHILE AND CZECH REPUBLIC!

Today, I went to the post office to send four postcards for postcrossers in four different countries namely Japan (Konnichiwa Japan!), USA (Hello US of A!), Netherlands (Hallo Netherlands!) and Lithuania (Laba diena Lithuania!). Mabuhay from Philippines!  TNT.

Sending paostcards based on the list of the postcrosser's favorites is much appreciated.  Timmy of USA wanted to receive a postcard with children.  So I sent him a postcard of a kid who make clay pots.  Denise of Netherlands likes animals and nature too.  I sent her the Chocolate hills with Tarsier postcard.  A postcrosser from Japan like drawings and arts so I sent her one of the painting turned postcard of Vicente Manansala.  Ugne of Lithuania loves any postcards.  I chose El Nide, Palawan postcard for her. 

I checked my mailbox and I got 5 postcards and 3 unwritten postcards in an envelope for this week.
