About Stasele...

Thanks for all the fantastic cards I've received so far!
Still waiting for my May postcards... I only got 2 so far! (see below)

I am 44, German, married, two children in primary school, no pets.
I have lived outside Germany for 16 years - in Lithuania (sveiki!), Kosovo (tung!) and, since 2009, in Maastricht/NL (125 km or 78 miles from here - hoi!). Brussels is my workplace and postcrossing address. Besides Postcrossing, I like Scottish Country dancing and making plans for my garden. :)

I am passionate about language and languages, and I would love to try and understand your postcard IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE please! Imagine you were writing to someone in your own country. Yes, it's so easy to make me happy! ;)
Please provide a translation ONLY if you speak a non-European language.

Any card will be welcome, so you don't need to read further... :)

... but if you are looking for inspiration, here are some suggestions for the front and back side of your card:

Culture:
- an everyday scene, a traditional home, traditional clothing from where you live. Minority cultures welcome
- a local monument, a map or a flag
- a cut-out from local food package or an Ad card from your country (please explain)
- anything that is special to you (please write a few lines about why your picked this card)
- I am very interested in popular belief. What would your folks do to ensure good luck, or to avoid the evil eye? How do you enter a house, handle your knives, or predict the future? Thank you for sharing this!

Other single views:
- a garden and or a park, or anything green (my favourite colour)
- a reflection in mirrors, glass, or water
- a small light in the dark
- a blossoming tree
- an adult bird
- old people

Famous couples:
- Чебурашка & Gena
- Wallace & Gromit
- Romeo & Juliet
- "Ну, погоди"

Language:
If you are interested in language(s) too, I would love to get a card related to language(s), dialects, writing systems, poems, puns, riddles and so on.
If you're from DE, AU, CH, LU...:
Du kannst auch gern in Deiner Mundart schreiben, das wäre toll.

What I don't like too much (on postcards):
- babies and children, royals
- "cute" cards, season's greetings
- drawings, multiviews
- Inge Löök, Kaj Stenvall
Please make someone else happy with these.

Thank you for writing your username on the card.

Sorry I am not looking for pen-pals, and I have set my swapping limit to 1-2 cards at a time. If that's OK for you, feel free to contact me.
I request an address every three days (so I send and receive +/-10 cards a month), and usually register cards within a week. Thanks for your patience!
