Postcrossing: Japan

Posted by Veron Ang • 10 comments

There, a postcard from Japan! I’m very excited about this one.

Postcard from Mayu of Kumamoto, Japan

From Kumamoto, Japan to Singapore

Kumamoto, Japan
Sender: Mayu
Distance travelled: 4562 kilometers

The Japanese are an extraordinarily creative bunch who pay great attention to aesthetics. Almost anything that is made in Japan is guaranteed to look good. And so does the postcard. It’s a wondrous scenic view of a gorge. I absolutely love it. Thank you mayu!

Just dropping by and seeing how this lady is doing. Seeing that she’s doing wonderfully fine with a new look, he turns softly on his heels and exited her beautiful kingdom, with nary a word to say…

Hi Mayu! Thanks for dropping by! I’m sure everyone here appreciates that interesting snippet of information about Japan. Thanks for sharing!

I joined Postcrossing in June but only became really active in recent weeks. Hope you have received your first postcard by now!
