TODAY I just sent another 3 new postcards for direct swap. The first postcard is a special one to my dear country lady for the inspiration. Kak Lenny, dah tak surprise kann ;=p

1. Lenny Zackariya, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia (Kampung Cina, Terengganu)
2. Lyo Inuyama, Tokyo, Japan (Masjid Jamek, Kuala Lumpur) - Updated. received 2.1.16
3. Carolina Ruiz, Neuquen, Argentina (The traditional Chinese house, Melaka)
4. Jarai Carter, United States of America (Georgetown, Penang) - added 18.12.15

Later, in the afternoon I am able to send a postcard to a postcrosser:

1. Vladimir Volkov, Riga, Latvia (KL Tower, Sultan Abdul Samad building, The Petronas Twin Tower, Kuala Lumpur) - Updated. received 19.1.16





And later, when I get home, I received a new postcard from Finland with a Moomin characters by Tove Jansson. Thank you Ms Pirkko!

"Hello!
I hope you'll
enjoy this
Finnish card!
Best wishes, Pirkko"

Please note that Ms Pirkko's postcard was travelling from Finland to Malaysia in only 10 days! This is superfast, considering the normal postcard delivery is 21 days.

Updated. 6.1.16. Received by Yuki Kimura, Japan.

TODAY I send another three new postcards to our post-crosser.

1. Yuki Kimura of Japan . Updated. 6.1.16. Received.
2. Jussara of Brazil
3. Anastasia Nikita of Indonesia

Hopefully they will do the same to me. Lol.

Note. The postcards I used for this batch are featuring Thaipusam festival in Batu Caves.





Updated. Later I received a message from Mariana Lino of Portugal that she agreed to swap postcards. I will send this postcard to her by today. Updated again. 30/12/15. I received her swap postcard. Thank you Mariana.

THIS entry has no photo on it. I am a bit disappointed to receive a message from a postcrosser in Czech Republic. After agreeing to directly swap postcards, she suddenly declined. She said,

"Hello, sorry, bu I'm not still
sure if I want a next swap,
because the Post is very
expensive here and I've got
currently 3 penpals and I send
postcards a lot... Z."

I assume because of her status as a student maybe not enough money to purchase a postcard and stamp. But is that really expensive to send a postcard from Czech Republic?

Then I replied,

"Hi Z, thanks for the reply,
I'm sorry to hear the post is
very expensive in Czech
Republic. Or rather u want me
to sponsor the postcard and
stamp?

Cheers ;) "

Updated. 16.12.15. Another message from a student in Indonesia saying that she can't swap with me right now due to her busy schedule with her study. She will only swap after her finals on January. I concurred.

TODAY I sent another postcard for 'direct swap' to Briz Margarita of Bashkortostan, Russia.

YESTERDAY I got another postcard from Paula of Czech Republic.

"Hello my name
is Paula (17).
I'm from Czech republic.
I live in Kromeriz.
Good luck. Happy
postcrossing."
