About Isaac...

Hello from Down Under. My name is Isaac, a 30 years old full-time business & business law student. After 6 years of work, I am now back to the heavy and interesting university life, very challenging but I enjoy it.

I like travelling and I have been to US, CA, BR, AR, UK, IE, E, P, F, B, L, NL, D, DK, SE, NO, FI, EE, LT, LV, PL, CZ, AT, HU, RO, BG, GR, I, CH, CN, HK, MO, KH, VN, TH, SG, MY, NP, AU&NZ, so I get chances to talk to others about local culture, this is also how my postcard hobbies get started. Now I buy local postcards as mementos during each trip, and also maxicards from post office regularly. Besides, I like classical and Jazz music, sometimes house music when I am crazy on the weekend. I am also a radio fan since I was a kid, BBC 4 is currently my favourite channel. I enjoy reading novel, sci-fi, biology and philosophy books on my iPad. I like films too, especially art, comedy, documentary, and thriller. I like several outdoor activities like hiking; I have been to Mt Everest, and I will go to Mt Kilimanjaro in Feb12. Running is my routine exercise (Icon was Melbourne full marathon on 09Oct11), and I watch/play tennis as well.

I prefer 4 x 6 inch postcards, not folded greeting cards. Tell me anything about you on the card like a friend, not a stranger. If there is no card description at the back, please also tell me what it is about. If you have very limited card resources, any MEANINGFUL cards from SENDING PLACE are welcome. (Kindly NOT send me any ad, forest, plant, animal, building, cartoon, art or city view cards, and NO ENVELOPE unless it is an unwritten maxicard. ) I also have some suggestions for those who have a card fitting my collections, and it is highly appreciated to have a look at my preferences:

++ Transport (Bike, Lorry, Tram, Train, Airport, Airways, Signpost...)
++ Sports (Olympic, Football, Tennis, Ski, Famous Player&Team...)
++ Map (Underground, City, State, Country...)
++ Food (Wine, Cuisine, Restaurant, Cafe, Market...)
++ Film (Poster, Star, Director...)
++ Political (President, Military, War, Patriotic...)
++ People (Royal Family, Pin-up, Celebrity, Portrait, Aboriginal, Lovers...)
++ Hotel (Historic, Global Chain, Local Famous)
++ Christianity (Jesus, Bible, Cross, Church...)
++ Chinese New Year (2012 is Dragon year)
++ Old posters of current famous brands
++ UNESCO heritage from original place with postmark
++ University

In many European countries post offices issue official maxi cards (eg: SE, FI, GR, I, CH) or stamp cards (eg: UK); If you have access to them and want to swap with Australia Post maxicards, please let me know. Also if you are a long-term postcard collector, we can exchange cards regularly when we travel to another city or buy new cards.
