CUBIFA - I´m In, Too

Grüezi (Swiss-German for "hello"), I followed Sami and joined Postcrossing!

Can "Y"ou Believe It´s Friday Again?
I already joined Postcrossing yesterday, time runs! And, boy, wasn´t that easy, the first postcard goes to Russia, what a weird address this was!
And it´s just 3,243 km away.
What a great idea! You get a contact and an id-number, tell some facts about your place and off the paper-card goes!
And eventually I get one back from some place in the world someday.
You get surprised by person, country and time. I think it´s a wonderful idea.

I love getting "real" mail, yet I send away one myself way too seldom.

The world is a small place after all, huh?
Since Sami wrote it in the comments here I think it´s ok to mention that Sami lives in Perth. And before... here in Braunschweig.
And got a contact from Postcrossing in... Braunschweig, too!
Thanks also, Sami, for welcoming me at Postcrossing. I´m allowed to answer only after the first card is registered. Since The second one goes to... tadaaa: far away Berlin (Germany) it may be soon, but for now I say it here :-)

Btw, "small world"... can anyone see my blogroll? From my Netbook I can´t and Ingo cannot, either.
I have one, really!

Guess I gotta change the layout again?

But now... I can write up to 5 postcards the first time to get it going! Should do that, huh?
It´s also a great idea to find out more about your town!

In case you´re interested, this first contact is a young girl and I wrote on the card that we´re the City of Henry the Lion, the City of Science, that 253 000 people share this place with me, Volkswagen is one of the main employees (indirectly mine, too) and that in Europe we´re important to research and development.

And no, that girl won´t need a magnifying glass ;-)
Next card, next facts, huh?

I remember Sami talking about Postcrossing Iris, sounds like you're having fun with it. I know what you mean about receiving 'real' post, ahhhh! Those were the days right!
