This is yet another pen pal postcard, this time from Singapore! This cute illustration is attributed to ACRES, or the Animal Concerns Research & Education Society. ACRES is an advocacy group operating out of Singapore that does pretty much exactly what you might imagine based on the name: they work […]
Check out this postcard from another pen pal from China! When I started pen-palling in 2011, many of my friends lived in China. In case you’re curious, I used PenPal World, which is an awesome site to connect internationally on! Anyway, this is a card from China Post itself, endorsing […]
An old pen pal from China sent me this postcard! First off, the name on this sign has a Romanization, so that is a plus (it means I don’t have to so incompetently use Kanji Writer to figure out the name). Though I could not find another picture online quite […]

Only over 700,000 artifacts spanning the course of 5,000 years of Chinese history! That includes things paintings, ceramics, jade/bronze items, and […]
Here’s a pretty neat Official Postcrossing card from the United Kingdom! This is a look at a landmark in Russia’s capital, Moscow. This is Kazan Cathedral, an Orthodox church located in Red Square. As reference, Red Square is like the center square of the city, and it’s where you can […]
This Official Postcrossing card comes from Russia! This is from a series known as “Kotovasiya”, which features cartoon cats. Not to be confused with the Blue Cat series, this series depicts very simple but hard-to-not-adore cats in their daily lives. I think? Thing is, I can’t seem to find much […]
