About Lien...
I like:
*Vintage postcards (especially Asian, Russian & Art Nouveau)
*Tourist postcards
*Botanical illustrations
*Religious postcards (all religions)
*Minimalistic postcards
I dislike:
*Funny postcards (they are never funny)
*Cheap or free postcards (the ones you buy in a pack of ten)
*Baby animals (they are never cute on a postcard)
*Anything with people (royals, celebrities, athletes)
*Nudity (child in the house, so please don't)
Ideas to write about (copied from the FAQ):
*Express what daily life is like where you’re sending the card from by describing what you did today, your routine, etc.
*Give local travelling tips from your area! What are the must-sees around you?
*Include your favourite quote, perhaps in its original language (with translation!)
*What was the last thing you cooked or ate? Include a recipe!
*Recount a childhood memory, or something you've learned from your grandparents.
*What makes you happy? If it makes you smile, there's a good chance others will like to hear about it.
*Share a local idiom or saying, in its original language, with translation of course!
*Did you ever travel to the place where your card is going? Recall your best memory of that place.
*Share an interesting fact that you've learned, and which most people are not aware of.
*Got an unusual hobby or collection? Do tell!
*Tell the recipient about your favourite book, movie or band!
*Draw a picture of your surroundings, or your favourite object in that room!
*Write your favorite poem or make up your own poem - acrostic poems or haikus are short and enjoyable to write!
*What are the local festivals or traditions from your area?
*If you're a student, what are you studying? What was the last thing you learned in school?
