To: Yana in Belarus

Belarus!

Postcard #4 is going to Belarus!

To be honest, I didn't know where Belarus was at. Naturally, I googled it and found out that it's a country in Europe next to Poland, Ukraine, and Russia. 

I just started this blog (because I just began to do postcrossing) and every time I send a postcard I like to include the flag of the country of where it is going to in my blog with a caption of the country's name in its native tongue. Well, I didn't know how to write 'Belarus' because I didn't know what language they spoke over there. Google told me that 36.7% of the population spoke Belarusian, 62.8% spoke Russian, and the remaining 0.5% spoke a mix of Polish and Ukrainian. Well, I don't want to get it wrong so, I just wrote it in plain old English! 

To: Inna in Russia

Россия

Hello Russia! Or should I say, Здравствуйте!
To be quite honest I don't even know if that is right because I am using google translate. If it's wrong hopefully you can at least see my attempt. Ha!

It's the middle of winter and I can only guess how cold it must be in Russia right now.

To: Allen in Hong Kong

香港

Hello Hong Kong! I have a postcard for you! 

Now, I know that Hong Kong is a city in China but, how cool is its own provincial-level flag?

I've never physically been to Hong Kong but, thanks to postcrossing I can get there in 7 to 10 business days- or so, that's how long it would take my postcard to arrive there according to the lady who attended to me at the post office today.

To: Heidi in Germany

Deutschland

My first postcard is going to Germany!

How super exciting! I've been to Germany once in my life for a school trip and it was a wonderful experience- one of the few that I will never forget. I remember that my hair was super blonde when I went to Berlin but, I hadn't touched up my roots and I remember (back then) looking at pictures and thinking 'why didn't I go to the salon?' Haha!

Hello Postcrossing!

Sending love from NY around the Globe!

I absolutely love traveling. I'll admit that one of my dreams would be to travel the world- many people have that dream! But the next best thing from actually being in that foreign place is knowing someone there.
