** Dear Postcrosser, if the card you sent to me has expired, welcome to drop me a note and I'll register it.

Hello!

I'm Ying-Ying, a freelance translator working at home (with my 6 lovely java sparrows), and I'm living in New Taipei City, Taiwan -- a place famous for pineapple cakes, hi-tech products, people's hospitality, typhoons and earthquakes :-) I love reading, drawing, hiking, watching movies, listening to music, travelling by myself and enjoying the fun of planning before the trips.

I've listed my interests below for your reference -- basically I'm not quite interested in common tourist cards, and I prefer drawn postcards and animal postcards more. But I'll be happy for whatever you send me! Send my something you'd like to receive yourself! And you can always look at my favourites [only 20 to check] to have an idea of my interests:

Well, each postcard is unique because of the things you put on it. I’d be grateful if you can write something about the card you sent me (e.g., why you picked this specific card …), about your specific culture or customs, a poem/good sentence you like, how you are feeling today, or freely draw something, use your imagination ;-)

I’m interested in:

* Picture book drawings, children's book illustrations, comics, such as:
-- Moomins
-- Diddl
-- Monster des Alltags
-- Elena Bazanova's works
-- Inge Löök (Fifi and Alli)
-- Inga Paltser's works
-- Sven Nordqvist's works (Pettson and Findus,... etc)
-- Wachifield world - Dayan, Marcy, Nbah...
-- Anything about the "Town Musicians of Bremen" and the "Pied Piper of Hamelin", two of my favorite stories
-- Others...

* Artists' works
* Fantasy (Narnia, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Howl's Moving Castle...)
* Animals - lynx, panthers, leopard, squirrels, chipmunks, minks, merekats, hedgehogs, penguins, polar bears, frogs, chameleon…
