 Last week I received another letter from my PenPal Karen in Hong Kong. When I read her letter it felt like I was reading something I would have written. I can tell this is going to be a great PenPal experience. With this letter she sent me some Hong Kong Disneyland brochures and a shopping bag from there. I did not scan the envelope due to damage to the stamps.

I LOVE 3D POSTCARDS! This is the first one I've received personally, but I've sent a few Disney ones out myself. This is so cool. It's Lantau Island, the largest island in Hong Kong. It has a landmass of 56.82 square miles. This postcard was sent to me from Angela, located in Hong Kong.

The stamp used on the postcard is a $3.70 2014 Hong Kong Definitive stamp. It comes from a series showcasing Hong Kong's landscape features and the importance of geo-conservation. This stamp features Kang Lau Shek. 

"Kang Lau Shek is made up primarily of thinly laminated siltstone, formed about 55 million years ago. Affected by constant coastal erosion, the sea-arch once situated here eroded gradually and finally collapsed, leaving behind two sea stack formations, known as Kang Lau Shek (Watchtower Stones) because they look like the watchtowers of an ancient village."

Outgoing Mail October 14

I took some time between yesterday and today to request addresses under Jesse's Postcrossing account since he hasn't used it in forever. I also went into the forums and did some tags in hopes I would get tagged in return to increase my incoming postcards. So I have a total of eleven postcards being mailed out tomorrow. After this batch I'm going to have to re-up on stamps very soon. I love having a variety of stamps to choose from to post on my postcards. Here's hoping all these babies make it to their destinations safely and timely!

Outgoing Mail August 19

Amara sent the above card to Thailand.

Silke requested her card be sent in an envelope. She had cats on her requested postcards so I thought this would be a cute and perfect pick for her from Florida. Sending to Belgium.

Danielle works in a prison and requested jail/prison postcards. I really wish I had one of the Old Jail in Saint Augustine, but I did not. Instead I chose this one of Castillo de San Marcos. I hope she likes it. This one is being sent to Netherlands.

Marie likes vintage postcards. I love this postcard for many reasons. One being the vintage feel it has to it. This one is being sent to Czech Republic.

In the above photo, the striped envelope is going to my penpal Karen in Hong Kong. The Stitch envelope is going to a Postcrossing user by the name of Shen who sent me some really cool things from China so I'm sending some things in return. The pink envelope is the envelope I put Silke's postcard in.
