Postcrossing - service real exchange cards

I, like many of you, consider myself to be cosmopolitan - I love travel, I love to meet new people from different countries, like souvenirs. And I really love getting postcards from different countries - with written on them from the hand of greetings, with unusual stamps and other cool stuff. Today I will tell you about postcrossing - service for the exchange of postcards.

The hardest part in the exchange of cards - is to get the address of the one who really need your card and who are ready to send it to you in return. Previously used for such purposes, forums, and even published a special knizhentsii, now everything is much easier.

You just need to register on Online postcrossing. After registration, you will need to write a few words about yourself and include your mailing address - it will come to you cards. Immediately after registration you will get five addresses selected from the base of the project in a random order - five wide variety of addresses from all over the world. For these addresses, you'll need to send postcards. As you may have guessed, someone from the users of the project will get your address. Of course, the service is completely free.

For each address supplied postcrossing code, which has, for example, look like this: RU-727145 (Where RU is Russia, and 727,145 - a special code). When your recipient finds a postcard in soem mailbox, he will introduce the site code and confirm receipt. You can find out how long was your card and which way it is done, as well as to send another (at the initial stage in the path can be a maximum of five cards).

If the card does not come for a long time, it goes into the status Expired, and soon "is removed from the balance sheet," so you will not suffer from the reduction in the number of sent and received cards.

Send postcards without envelopes the best, and just stick to it a sufficient number of marks (for Russia is 22 rubles) and lowered into a box - many appreciate postage stamps. On post card, you can write anything you want, the main thing is not to forget the code.

Despite the fact that the whole thing seems quite mediocre, postcrossing is incredibly exciting way to communicate with interesting people from around the world. Often simple "postcard" contacts develop into a real friendship. Well, in general, it is a real postcard way to understand that we live in the real world, not in the Matrix.

Right here mozheet you look at the cards that I received during the year.
