I now return to postcrossing after a long halt (more than a year) due to my busy job. I will start out slowly and hopefully will send out more as time passes. Happy Postcrossing!

Hi, my name is Joyce and I am from Hong Kong, a previous British colony (before 1.7.1997) and now a special administrative region of China. I have also previously lived in California, USA for some years.

I joined Postcrossing because I enjoy philately (stamp-collecting). I will definitely be overjoyed if you put more different (and/or special) stamps on the postcard! (Note: appreciate if you could send with a Postcrossing stamp if your have one, thanks)!

Please feel free to send me any kinds of postcards; the followings are just some suggestions:

[Short version: anything related to your country/city will be excellent!]

[Detailed version]

*** Scenery (city or nature)/day or night views/famous buildings/culture/history/museums/ people/national animals or plants/national food/festivals/map of your country or state or city/ transportation/sports team of your hometown/country (both single view or multiviews are great)

* Nature:
Plants (favorite: cactus)/flowers
Animals/birds/fish (I have a tank of tropical fish at home - as shown in my profile picture :)
Dinosaurs (drawing/fossils)
(NO insects please)

* Arts of your country or of famous artists (my favorite: Vincent van Gogh); Images of Russian matryoshka dolls

* Nouvelle postcards

* Coffee, recipes cards

* Birthday postcards are welcomed in October, and Christmas/New Year cards around November/December/January.

* Hand-made/self-made cards are welcomed too.

** Don't enjoy vintage style, so please save them for postcrossers who like them.

*** NO ads/free cards, NO nudity/sexual, NO violence, NO ghosts/death themes please ***

I prefer to receive cards in handwriting & without (no) envelopes & with real stamp(s) & an "airmail" sticker! Please also write something on the postcard about yourself and/or your city/country or anything you like or enjoy!

I appreciate every card sent! I always scan and upload the images of cards (sent & received), but usually it may take some days.

Thank you so much!!! :) Happy Postcrossing to everyone!

P.S.

如果你懂得中文，歡迎以中文書寫明信片(繁/簡體都可以)，謝謝您!
[台灣朋友請書寫繁體中文，謝謝您!]
