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.
