Russia: Gorky III, Sochi, Volgograd.

Yes, you read the title correctly.

I'm posting 3 postcards all in one post. It's actually a continuation from the last post back in 2013: U.S.A., Texas Icons. Here are the postcards next in line to be uploaded. I found a folder of postcards photos before all my postcards queue was messed up by this guy. So, eventho it is a little odd to upload postcards I received in 2013, I'll start uploading from there.

These 3 postcards were sent to me by Stas and each one was in an envelope.

Volgograd city view.

The stamps on its envelope. It looks slightly similar to the previous ones, you might think it's from the same envelope. But take a closer look if you want :]

A Couple Months After the First Post in 2016

Turned out I'm not as consistent as I hope I would. Oh well..

Hello again.

Back in March I wrote that I'll update the blog with postcards and snail mails I receive, but it's been a while that my mailbox is lonely. Nothing came.

However, there's been a turn of an event. Here is the update :D

In the last week I got 3 postcards and a notification letter from post office. The notification letter is something they usually send to you instead of the parcel/package because you need to pay for some custom-thingy fee, so you need to go to the post office to fetch your parcel/package.

There is a postcard which my sister sent from Japan. It took a hella long time. She was in Japan in April, but I got her postcard last week. Plus from all of the postcards she sent, only one reached me safe and sound. I'm raising my eyebrow and sceptically looking at you, Indonesian Postal Service. Here's how the postcard from her looks like:

A shaped postcard known as gotochi.

The stamp.

Another one is a postcard I won in a giveaway on Facebook's Postcrossing group. I forgot when the giveaway was, but the postcard had arrived a couple days after my sister's postcard :) Here it is:

Giveway postcard which shown a red Vespa.

The stamp and cancellation postmark.

Last but not least, a postcard from Matte when he was on a holiday with his family in Wrocław. Such a nice city, I myself have been there 4 years ago, it was lovely. The postcard shows Wrocław's famous dwarfs that can be found around the city. Here's how it looks:

Multiview postcard showing many Wrocław's dwarfs.

Apparently, the postcard was sent from Gdynia.

I think that's all of the update for today. I'll write about the notification letter from the Indonesian Postal Service in another post. It's a long story about that.

After A Long Hiatus D:

Hello world!

Hello again!

2016! Whoa, I didn't write for almost 3 years!

There was an event back in 2013 that made me stop writing/updating this blog. I still do receive and send postcards and letter occasionally though. However, I just keep them in my postcard box instead of putting them here on this blog like I used to do. I guess it's only fair to write on this blog what happened on 2013.

So I was part of Indonesian Postcrossing Community back then and I was quite involved in a sense of coming to the meetup, participating in Giveaway and organising one in return. However, there was one meetup where the people were talking about making a postcard exhibition and the next meetup we would come with our postcard collection to choose the postcards that will appear in the exhibition. I came with my postcard box. I organised my postcards by the time I receive them and at that time, not all postcards were up on this blog. I left my postcard box there with the people while I went to order beverage and when I was back..... errrr there is this guy messing my postcards out of the box D: I didn't remember which arrived when and yeah... my postcards were organised no longer :( UNTIL NOW. It is not organised still. Well, yeah, that is the reason why I never updated this blog.

But it will change.

It changes now, with this post I'm writing here. I will start updating the postcards and letters I receive again. The system of postcard uploading might be different because of several reasons, but my blog will not be "dead" like before anyway.

I'm hoping to be consistent from now on.
*crossing my fingers and toes*


Oh and I probably write about my life here too, so this blog isn't limited to postcards only. But I'm not hundred percent sure about that. Let's see how it all goes..

Have a great day!
