Post Crossed X

This is an example of something that the existence of the internet has made possible. PostCrossing is a web site that after registration allows you to request addresses of other members who want to receive post cards. You get an address, send a card and when the receiver logs it as received your address goes to the top of the list and is sent to the next person who requests an address. It is really great to check your mail box and know that odds are good that you have a post card from some distant and exotic sounding place like Budapest or Istanbul! Some people are real picky about what kind of card you send them (along with their address you get their profile and comments) but mostly they seem like great people like you that like learning a little about different cultures and finding surprises in their mail boxes.

I have met so many neat people thru postcrossing. I HIGHLY recommend it. It is a fairly cheap addiction for people in the US even though the postage is 94 cents now. Most of the world pays more.
