Postcrossing

taken from www.google.co.id


Have you heard about postcrossing project?
It seems not many people know about it.
Postcrossing is a project that allow a postcrosser to send a postcard to other postcrosser in the world randomly and he/she will get at least one postcard back  from another postcrosser from somewhere in the world. For me postcrossing is a way to explore all over the world by postcards and find out the beauties in every country, because every country has its own beauty and uniqueness.
First of all, you need to have an account on www.postcrossing.com then you need to input your identities and your address clearly. You also can upload an avatar for your account.
Then request an address by clicking "Send a postcard". Read the direction then check on check box and request an address. And your postcard will go to somewhere in the world. If you find difficulties to read and write the address, you can print the address.
Do not forget to write the postcard ID on postcard that you going to send, but please write your postcard ID rather far from the place of writing the address. Postcard ID is a serial number of postcard from your own country, it’s important because the receiver will register your postcard by the postcard ID and it make the sending status “Traveling” to “Registered”.  For the begginer postcrosser, you can send at least 5 postcards to different people.
Then mail the postcards to the nearest post office from your house. If you only sent a postcard, at least you will get a postcard back. But remember, someone who  sent  a postcard to you isn’t someone who you send a postcard.
You need to wait to receive a postcard and after you get a postcard, register postcard that you received using postcard ID written on a postcard. Then you’ll know who sent you a beautiful postcard.
I knew this project from my English teacher, she taught me about postcrossing, and showed me the postcards that she have received and I interested to join postcrossing. It also help me to learn English more and cultures of countries in the world, even cultures of my own country. I always write a lot on my postcard and try to explain about the picture of postcard that I’m going to send as clear as I can or maybe I explain about my country, my hometown, and my life.


Happy postcrossing! :D
