Sent card #36

My 36th card went to Taiwan just before Christmas. :-) Kai-Jen is from Taipei and is a pacifist - and as soon as I read that, I knew exactly which card to send to him. :-) On the card I told him a little bit about myself, and also included the greeting God jul og godt nytt år, which is Merry Christmas and a happy new year in Norwegian. All according to Kai-Jen's wishes, of course.

This card was bought at Tronsmo, the best bookstore in Oslo ... and, according to Neil Gaiman, one of the best in the whole world. :-)

I sent the card on December 23rd. It had 8,704 kilometers to travel, and arrived on January 8th, after 16 days. Kai-Jen liked it a lot. :-)

Sent card #20

My 20th card went to Taiwan ... to Taipei again. I'm a little ashamed to say that I don't think I can name one single other city in the whole of Taiwan. :-(

Elaine is a student and has quite a varied list of interests. I decided to send one of my own cards again, this one showing the impressive roofs of Gol stave church at the Folk Museum here in Oslo. This would fit both her interest in specific architecture and in 'distinguishing characteristics of my country' ... stave churches were once common all over Scandinavia and in the north of England as well, but are now extant only here in Norway.

As Elaine says she loves to read I told her a little bit about BookCrossing on the card as well. :-)

The card was sent on November 3rd, and it made its journey of 8,704 kilometers in 15 days to arrive on November 18th.

Sent card #10

The tenth address I pulled was in Taiwan. Coolness. :-) All the more so since, when I looked at the recipient's profile, the chances seemed to be good that my card would be the first Postcrossing card this member would ever receive. :-D And that's how it turned out, too. Judychu had sent one card and received none ... mine was the first she received. I was really happy to send her that card. :-)

Judychu had no personal information in her profile, so I picked something neutral to send to her - I figured that this colorful sunflower card would be appreciated by most people. When the card arrived she said that she liked it, anyway. :-)

The card was sent on October 14th - my birthday! - and it travelled 8,704 kilometers to arrive in Taipei on October 21st.
