Hello!

I love receiving postcards and learning about other cultures. I also love trying to match up other people's preferences for cards and the challenge of finding them something they'll like.

If you have a postcard related to one of the following, that would really make my day:

- Pictures/drawings of people writing
- pictures of non-Cyrillic handwriting, like Japanese or Chinese writing
- UNESCO World Heritage sites.
- Fairy tale illustrations or folk tales & myths/legends from local regions.
- Modern architecture etc, (for those who live in a city!)
- the Northern Lights
- Oriental art (eg Ukiyo-e, Utagawa)
- subway/train maps
- Old advertising cards with women
- home made Polaroid snaps

- anything to do with books or reading (especially drawn illustrations, children's books)

The only thing I don't like are multiviews, so if you could save these for postcrossers who want them, I'd really appreciate it!

I prefer stamped cards, and if you're from France or a francophone country, please just write in French as I speak French.

One thing I love doing is reading novels from different countries - if you could suggest a good novel, especially a crime/mystery novel, from your country, that would be great!

PS This is a plea to my Finnish postcrosser friends. I have had a lot of cards from Finland, and most have been of a green field. In fact, I have several of the same card and the same field! I have had over 75 cards from Finland and have rarely had a card from Helsinki or received any cards with buildings!
Please, please, please could you send something other than fields?! Maybe some architecture/famous buildings or Inge Löök's Old Ladies or the Moomins...?
