Hi! I'm Laura, 27 years old, studying Chemical Science at the university. I live in the North of Italy and I've been collecting postcard since I was a small child. I just love viewcards too much (I mean cities, monuments, landscapes, particularities of a country...) but no freecards with advertisement on them orand no Christmas cards (or Easter, I mean no holiday/celebration cards, sorry but I can buy them everywhere). Single- or multi-view doesn't matter ;). Don't need to write a lot behind, if you don't know what to write just write something in your language with a little translation in English (or Italian, of course) :D it would make me very happy (I'm a language junkie, I just love them especially the one with particular alphabeth such as Hebrew, Greek, Russian, Korean, Chinese, Japanese) My postcard gallery is here: http://postcards.eiencafe.com/ if you want to check what postcards I already have. They're divided by continents and in alphabetical order (countries by English name). I study at the university of Milan and I'll graduate soon. I'm a tv-show addict, can't live without them (my favorite is NCIS - quite obsessed with it - but I also watch CSI - all three -, Criminal Minds, Lost and some Italian ones which I believe you wouldn't know if you're not Italian...). I love books especially thrillers, my favorite autor is Jeffery Deaver but I'm liking James Petterson now. I like penpalling but I'm not searching at the moment and swapping FB's (I always have too many) I love web-designing and spend my free time working on my website or just reading fanfiction. I think that's all..."
I thought that I would give some landscape and city view choices:
A. California Desert-We have beach, we have desert, what more could you want?
B. Beach View-Just to let you know, I NEVER go to the beach when it's this crowded...so not worth it if you live here
C. City View-I love this night time view of downtown area
C. City View-I love this night time view of downtown area
Now the question is, what kind of message do I send with this? I don't speak any other languages, so that's out. I could share my interest in those exact same shows; I love CSI, NCIS, and I am really getting in to that new show Lie to Me. Of course, with choice C, I can hardly get away without explaining our "toolbox" of downtown*.
So, in the comments, let us know which card to send and what type of message to include.
*For those who don't know, some of us locals call downtown a toolbox. If you look at the buildings, you can see a Philips Screwdriver, a couple Flathead screwdrivers, and some hex wrenches. There are more, too, you just can't see them in this picture.
Okay, in this post, I have given the link to her profile, but also cut and paste her profile here for you to read. Keep these things in mind, I'm going to ask your opinion later...
Since she likes viewcards and "particularities of a country" I would send (C)the nighttime view of downtown and I would write about the toolbox. That's very cool and I've never heard of it before. It would be unique!
