This bright multi-card came from Tanja in Germany. She didn't write much on the back, sad to say.
She wrote,
" Greetings from Munich, Bavaria in Germany for you 😃

Japan - Gotochi Card
March 4, 2020
An envelope arrived containing a lovely letter and three Gotochi cards from Norie in Gunma prefecture. I didn't have any of the cards that she sent, so I was doubly happy to receive them.
I won't type out the letter that Norie sent, but I will paraphrase a little. She wrote that she's been to Canada 5 times but has never been to my part of Japan! She asked me if I have travelled all
around Japan--not quite! She closes by saying that she would love to visit Yamagata someday!
This is the envelope with the amazing stamps and cancellation stamps that Norie arranged to have on the envelope. Very cool!

Germany - Movie Card
October 19, 2019
This card arrived quite a while ago from Germany. It's a Movie Card so I am a little biased, but I love it!
The sender wrote a short but nice note on the back too.
She wrote;
"Hello Helen, greetings from Hof in Bavaria/Germany. Sorry, I don't know the movie in the frontside! My favourite is "Dance of the Vampires"[AKA The Fearless Vampire Killers] from 1967. "

| I think I did see part of Brassed Off, but not the whole movie. I probably came home after work and it was on TV. |

| An interesting stamp and cancellation stamp I think. |

This card was in my favourites and José was nice enough to send it to me. He does have something in common with me too.

Hello Helen,
I chose a card from your favourites and really hope you will like it. I am also Canadian but was born here and came back here after retirement and to enjoy a milder weather. Past I lived 40 years in Montreal and my children still live there.
Best wishes & regards

Taiwan - Movie Card
June 12, 2018
This is the kind of card that I love! The sender found something that I would like, wrote a nice little note about their city and was friendly too. She even used great stamps and had an excellent cancellation stamp used on my card. Hurray!
She wrote,
[kanji] (Hello) ~ Greetings from Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
If you come here for a visit, you shouldn't miss Pier Z Art Center, which consists of several old abandoned warehouses that have been converted into exhibition space and hosts plenty of exhibitions throughout the year. Hope you like this AD card of Movies. And welcome to Taiwan anytime!

Jurassic World...haven't seen it yet, but hope to!
Aren't these stamps interesting? I love the cancellation mark as well.

A Thank You Card
April 19, 2018
Apologies for not blogging for a while. These days I am not able to send out as many cards and I haven't had time to blog for a while. I'll try and update a couple of times a week and see how that goes.
I received this interesting Thank You card from a person that I had sent a card to in March. It was a lovely gesture for him to do this, and not a very common one.
He wrote that he was on a one day trip to Estonia and wishes me a nice spring. Thank you Marcus!
The stamp was also a nice one!

Miroslava sent this beautiful card to me with a great note on the back and some beautiful stamps. Yay!
These are great stamps and the cancellation mark doesn't spoil them either.

Russia - Food
October 28, 2016
This scrumptious looking card came to me from Russia and was sent by Irina. She sent me a lovely card with an interesting message on the back.
She wrote,
"Hello! Npubem!😀
My name Ira(Upa), i live in Russia, in the oldest city - Veliky Novgorod. I'm 24 years old, and yet I do not have a husband and children.
I love the trilogy "The Hobbit", and movies from Adrian Brody 💙
The postcard - Russian summer soup -Okroshka -(окрошка) It is very refreshing on a hot day!
Have a nice day! Bye!"

Interesting little stamp. She wrote a little about the weather in the corner under the stamp, but the postmark covered a lot of it.

Germany
October 19, 2016
Sometimes I try to remember that people who do Postcrossing don't always speak English, or don't come from the same culture as me, so don't feel that it is important to put messages on the cards they send. I try, but sometimes I get upset when I receive a generic message that could be written to anyone. This is one of those cards.
The actual picture is fine, but on the reverse side the message is very short and bland. However, they did write it...I have had cards with no message written on them at all. Those were worse!
The person wrote,
"Dear Postcrossing-friend
Love greets from Germany
Have a nice day and fun with
Postcrossing. "
I liked the cancellation stamp to the left.

Japan - Books
September 20, 2016
This lovely card with a cool postal cancellation and stamp came from Japan. It was sent with a friendly note from Yoshizu.
She wrote,
"From Yoshizu
Hello, I live in Kobe which is a port town.
I like reading and watching Japanese costume drama on TV.
Happy Postcrossing."
This is a very cool cancellation mark. It shows one of the same characters as on on the stamp. Lovely isn't it? It says something like "Greetings from Post-Bear and Friends". Post-Bear is the mailman bear in the middle of the cancellation mark.
Thank you Yoshizu!

Korea - Movie Card
September 15, 2016
This card came to me from South Korea recently. It has a great cancellation mark and stamp on the back, and the front is a movie, so I love it. The movie wasn't great, BUT it has the distinction of being the first movie that I saw after I moved to Japan! I wanted to see it, so on a Sunday night, I took myself along to the terrible old cinema that was in Tsuruoka and very carefully went through the process of buying a ticket and seeing the show.
I enjoyed recapturing the memory of that night with this card, so it was lovely of Jungyesol to send it to me! She wrote a great note on the back too.
"Greetings from Korea! I'm Jungyesol. I went on a journey ('Muchangpo' beach) with my family! Today, the weather is cool. This summer was so hot!! I feel best in cool weather. Take care and don't catch a [?possibly cold]. I'm susceptible to [illegible] when the weather changes. Have a nice day. BYE-BYE"
Look at that cool postal mark. It's so neat. I haven't seen the bird stamp before either.
