Impressions mailed: accidental addressed geography
Is there much fun in the paradise if you are unable to send a postcard with sights?
Due to modern technologies and the Internet, the world is often your browser window. Our life is an eternal chase for money success and fame. In this stressed competition with ourselves we very often have no time to look around, see the beauty around us, just to travel. And somewhere someone lives similar life, but the decorations are different.
He or she may have palm-trees whispering outside the window, or snow silvering the Alps, or the sun in the dawn illuminates pyramid tops. On weekends he or she may go fishing in the mysterious Loch Ness Lake, or hunting in savanna, or making vine from his or her own harvest somewhere in Provence.
No matter what the capability and desire are, it is hardly possible that an average homo sapiens manages to visit all cantons of the world and test all cultures of our mother Earth. For sure, the Internet makes it possible in a blink of an eye to find our news from any country, to enjoy local scenes viewing pictures and videos, and even have a talk to a foreigner personally. But unfortunately electronic means are unable to make you feel the warmth of hands and hearts.

Elena, Kiev
I am fond of scrapbooking and I make postcards for my friends. Once I was so inspired that I made a postcard threaded with the spirit of my native city: there were chestnuts, domes of churches, and Podilskyi Raion depicted by Bulgakov. It was cool and, but I didn’t present it to anyone, and for a long time the post card was waiting in the wings. When I found out about Intpostage.com, I realized that it was the finest hour of my postcard. I registered, sent my letter and was waiting for the reply. I was wildly delighted when I received a hand-made postcard from Vienna. The girl from Austria also put her heart in this piece of artwork. It was full of Vienna spirit: opera, cafe, strudel … I even shed a tear. I still have correspondence with that girl. We exchange creative ideas and boast of new works…
Igor, St.Petersburg
I registered and sent magnets with sights of St.Petersburg Intpostage.com out free gifts of pure curiosity. I was very surprised to receive a postcard from London, the capital of Great Britain. It was the first time when I received anything by post and in addition from the country which I have dreamt to visit. I felt great! Since then I’m fond of it and I got some of my friends involved. It is the fourth time that I’m going to use the service.
