Not so long time ago my friend told me about postcrossing, it's a process, when you send a postcard to a random person and receive back from a random person too. No limits. You can write on a postcard what ever you want. You can paint. You can tell the story.
For sending and receiving cards you must log in on this site http://www.postcrossing.com. Users often write what postcards they want to receive, for example, "I really like black and white postcards" or they can ask you to write something, for example date or phrase in your native language. Some users like to receive postcards in envelops, others want to receive a photo instead of postcard and so on. Everybody has different preferences.
Not so long time ago I decide to try to send a postcard (to USA). This is it (on the left side). It's the work of one of the greatest artist, Edgar Degas.
In reply I received black-and-white postcard, which I really like. It's from Smolensk, Russia. The sender write on the postcard about his city.
So, I think postcrossing is a really interesting process. You can find out a lot things about the world, you can receive a postcard from any part of the Earth.

Wow! That's really interesting. I'd never heard of this before. It reminds me a little of something one of my little cousins (my cousin's son, actually) is doing in one of his classes. All the children in his class made pictures of themselves out of paper, and then they sent the "flat" versions of themselves to people they knew in other places. My cousin sent me "Flat Alex." I have sent postcards back to his class from Denmark, Finland, and Russia, talking about what Flat Alex has been doing in those places.
