GF CARDS:-
6. Noa of United Kingdom, "Hi Wak, how are you? Thanks for this swap, your postcard was really nice. I am trying to collect all GF postcards from origin, but it is so difficult! For now I have almost 20, I will keep trying to get them all! Have a nice day "
7. Julie of Norway, " Dear Wak! :) I hope this card finds you well! I live in Oslo, which is the biggest city in Norway, with a population of almost 650,000 people. Despite this, 2/3 of the municipal is actually forests and lakes (they surround Oslo). This means Oslo has a rich plant and wildlife. Between the years 1624 and 1925, it had another name: Christiania. Akerselva is a river that travels from all the way up north in Oslo, through the city and ends by the Paulsen docks."

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.

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."
