Guess who sent me the following postcards?

It is none other than Amelia! And I wonder how she is doing now. She got me a couple of cards depicting the peoples, cultures, wildlife and the pitcher plants of Borneo!! *smiles* Thank you very much, Amelia, it is so nice of you..

I realize it has been quite a looonng while since I last boasted about shared my postcards. Before I procrastinate further and leave those cards collecting dust in the box, I thought maybe I really should get down to it – because some of the cards and/or people are really nice! :)

Michael, who is a Ph.D. candidate at the Trent University in Canada sent me NOT one but a couple of turtle cards and some brochures on the Turtle Adoption Program.

The most amazing thing is that he is not working with the turtles, as in, his project does not revolve around turtles, like mine does. In fact, he is “conducting research into evolutionary and population genetics of the muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) in North America, with a particular emphasis on native Ontario stocks.” *phew*

But he’s got a dozen or so turtles in his backyard and he enjoys taking pictures of them.

There are quite a bunch of turtles, no?

I haven’t been showing off my postcards lately because I have been very busy. Whenever I feel like writing, I would either be working in the office or, well.. But when I have some time to myself (like now), I find myself having nothing in particular to blog about. In fact, I just noticed the other day that I am blogging less with each passing month – a sign that I may get tired of blogging one day :(

I digressed.

Anyway, if there is ONE obvious thing that I have learned from my PostCrossing experience, it’s that there are a lot of cats in Finland. Am I right, my dear Finnish friends? *smiles*

However, this kitten card (above) came NOT from Finland but from Texas. The sender, Sandra photographed the kittens herself.

Christina bought the above card because she thought it was a funny one. UNTIL she noticed the fly on one of the cakes *laughs* And since I “requested” for a trash card, she decided to send it to me :(

This Torino card is my first official card from Italy. YaY! Thanks Francesca, if you happen to see this :)

And this Wroclaw card was sent to me by Joanna. She did not mention where Wroclaw is, but my guess is that it’s in Poland (from the word “Polska” on the stamps). Anyway, the card shows the Market Place at the Town Hall. So pretty. And clean ;)
