This is the first postcard I received from the USA through postcrossing. When I saw the postcard, I suddenly remembered the time I was in Japan during autumn time. When trees in Japan change their leaf color during autumn, it’s called Kouyo (紅葉). In the Philippines, though, there is no autumn season, only rainy and dry…
Post(crossing)card #6: Poznan, Poland
I got this postcard around the last week of March 2016. Poland is the third country in Europe which I got this postcard from. It’s nice to know that Polish people are also active in postcrossing. I wish I could visit this country one day, along with the other beautiful countries in Europe. ❤ Kasia…
Postcard/ Diary #7: Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan
I was able to finally visit Ghibli Museum, a museum devoted to the works of Mr. Hayao Miyazaki — founder of Studio Ghibli. Unfortunately, visitors are not allowed to take photos of the exhibits inside the museum. My eyes feasted with the different works of Hayao Miyazaki. My favorite among his creations is となりのトトロ (Tonari no…

Postcard/ Diary #6: Crystal Mountain, Pierce County, Washington USA
I went to the US for the first time on September 2015. I stayed with my relatives in Seattle, Washington. My Aunt and Uncle gave me a tour of the city and one of the places I visited with them is Crystal Mountain, a ski resort during winter season. It was winter yet when I…
Post(crossing)card #5: Tainan, Taiwan
I got a long-sized postcard from Dan of Tainan City, Taiwan. He acquired the postcard from Chi Mei Museum. I like classical music, especially the works of Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and Bach. Receiving a postcard such as this is a very nice surprise for me. The violin image on the postcard promotes the violin exhibit…
Postcard/ Diary #5: Ramen Museum, Yokohama, Japan
Trivia: There are two ramen museums in Yokohama – the Cup Noodles Museum in Minato Mirai and the Ramen Museum in Shinyokohama. Since I already visited the Cup Noodle Museum with my friends around Fall of 2014, I decided to visit the Ramen Museum on a cold Spring day in March 2015. The Shinyokohama Ramen Museum…

Beijing is very interesting. Welcome! Best wishes!”
Postcard from a Kaibigan (Friend) #3: Utrecht, Netherlands
This is Nijntje or more popularly known to us as Miffy. I didn’t know that the character originated in the Netherlands. (Trivia!) She resembles my favorite cartoon character: Hello Kitty! My dear friend Ayin tried to send this to me in Japan but Japan Post returned it back to her because I was already back…
Postcard from a Kaibigan (Friend) #2: Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Whenever I receive postcards from friends, I’ve always felt like I’m given a short tour of the place where the postcard came from. Mountains, buildings, cityscapes. I’m traveling while I’m at home or at work. 🙂 My friend Ayin sent this postcard when she was a studying at Rotterdam for a year. She wrote: “Dearest…
Post(crossing)card #3: Leoben, Austria
I’m fascinated with the image in this postcard. It reminded me of the times I spent my summer vacations in my mom’s province. 🙂 Fresh air, fruits and vegetables and a house at the countryside 🙂 Angi wrote an interesting message for me: “Dear Postcrossing friend, Greetings from Leoben, Austria. I live in a small…
