**NOTE** Please make sure you write the #1 in my address LEGIBLY so that it doesn't look like the #7! Thank you!

Hello! I am Chinese American (my mom is Chinese and my dad is American) and I live near Baltimore, Maryland. I don't get to travel very often and I would like to learn about other countries and cultures. Please tell me about your city! :-)

**SKIP IF YOU DO NOT SPEAK CHINESE OR SPANISH**

To Postcrossers that speak Chinese: I once received a postcard in Chinese only. I am illiterate in Chinese and can only speak basic phrases. Please teach me some words and phrases with translation and Pinyin romanization.

To Postcrossers that speak Spanish: Feel free to write to me in Spanish so that I can continue to learn more. I know most grammar concepts (preterite, imperfect, future, subjunctive, etc.) and intermediate vocabulary words.

**END OF SKIP MESSAGE**

I am very eclectic, so here are some ideas for postcards. Although I have a lot of preferences, they are NOT limited to what is listed here. Here is my "wishlist", but in no particular order. (Updated 24 March 2014)

☆City views
☆Shaped/3D cards
☆Aircraft/airports
☆Cars/trains
☆Cruise ships
☆Maps
☆Animals (esp. pandas, rabbits, dragons)
☆Zoos/aquariums
☆Rollercoasters/amusement/water parks
☆Lighthouses/bridges
☆Music/instruments
☆Robots/technology
☆Magic/optical illusions
☆Superheroes/villains
☆Movie/video game/TV characters (e.g. Mario and Luigi)
☆Flags/national costumes
☆UNESCO sites/landmarks (e.g. Taj Mahal, Big Ben)
☆Natural scenery (e.g. rainforests, waterfalls, volcanoes)
☆Foods/recipes
☆Unique/strange tourist attractions
☆Sports/stadiums
☆Money/coins (picture)
☆Lantern press/paintings
☆Family Guy or South Park (cartoon/funny)

I just want to receive beautiful and interesting postcards! I don't care if they are single view or multi view, but I would rather get something in color than black/white/sepia/gray (unless it's a panda of course). ;)

Please DO NOT SEND the following if possible: (sorry for such a long list)

-Ad/free cards (unless it relates to topics above)
-Erotic or obscene postcards
-Folded cards/greeting cards
-Anything scary/violent/gory/creepy
-Old cards/vintage cards (unless it relates to topics above)
-Handmade cards (Zazzle or professionally printed acceptable)

Special Request: If possible, can you add interesting stamps on the postcard? I love to use nice ones whenever possible and I appreciate them just as much.

I love the vast majority of cards especially ones that are unique with a personal message. Thank you for sending a card to me and happy Postcrossing from Maryland!
