Incoming Postcards Week #7

First of all, thank you everyone who participated in the poll!

English got more votes, so I'll keep writing in it most of the time. I'll try to add Finnish translations for Finnish reader too from time to time ^_^

From Singapore. Beautiful landscape!

From China. New elephant card for my collection ^-^

It was my first time to receive mail from Slovenia, so I was really delighted! I got so many nice stamps from new countries.

Last incoming mail in 2012

The last thing I received via mail in 2012 was a little packet from Malaysia.

It was for I and Naomi's private swap. She sent me post-it notes, origamis, mobile phone chain, chocolate and rice snacks(I love any kind of rice snacks so I asked if she could send me some =D)

The mobile phone chain is very cool and the color is exactly the same as my phone so it will suit my phone well =(^0^)= Though I'm not sure whether I have the heart to use it because I tend to lose and broke all my phone chains I've used -__- I don't want this chain to get lost as well!

Malaysian stamps. 

I liked all of the things the packet contained. Thank you very much, Naomi!

Two Packets Heading To ASIA^^ // Kaksi pakettia matkalla kohti Aasiaa

Two packets, both to Asia!!

 I'm already mentally preparing myself for the trip to the post office next week haha.. it will cost a fortune for sure to send these packets (￣□￣;)!!  I am trying not to cry like a river lol 

Kaksi pakettia lähtee ensi viikolla kohti Aasiaa ja yritän jo etukäteen valmistautua henkisesti siihen järkytykseen, joka koittaa astuessani Postiin ja nähdessäni pakettien painon ja HINNAN!!! 

Väliin tälläinen retorinen kysymys että miksi Posti riistää meitä ahkeria Postin palveluiden käyttäjiä kiskurihinnoin!! Olen miettinyt tätä usesti, että olisi mukavaa, että me "kanta-asiakkaat" saisimme jotain extra-etuja, esim. sellainen kuponki mitä saa partureissa ja  pizzerioissa, joihin voi kerätä leimoja ja kun on 10 leimaa niin saa vaikka ilmaisen postilähetyksen:D Tai bonus-korttijärjestelmä kanta-asiakkaille, jolla saisi alennuksia tai plussaa niinkuin K-kaupassa ja S-marketissa:D Minä ainakin hankkisin sellaisen kortin lompakon täytteeksi heti!! Tälläisellä korttijärjestelmällä tai kupongeilla myös Posti hyötyisi, sillä sitten ihmiset saattaisivat käyttää niiden palveluita enemmän kun on jotain 'hyötyäkin' siitä! Niinkuin minä menen aina K-kauppaan plussa(vai onko se bonus..aina menee sekaisin)kortti kauniissa kädessä kun huomaan sillä olevan hyviä alennuksia..!

Menin sivuraiteille, mutta keskitytääpäs nyt taas tämän päivän viralliseen aiheeseen, eli minun Aasianpostipaketteihin.

This packet contains a letter and a small Christmas present to my Singaporean penpal Joycelyn. I guess it will be a very late X-mas present though..but better late than never right^^

 I made the envelope myself once again:)

Yllä oleva paketti sisältää pienen (myöhäisen) joululahjan singaporelaiselle kirjekaverilleni. 

Askartelin kirjekuoren itse^^

The second packet is for I and Naomi's private swap. She lives in Malaysia and it will be my first time sending something else than a simple post card to that country. I hope she'll like what I chose for her. The swap requires to send 50-100g chocolate bar and profile based items worth $5. But as Finland is such an expensive country, I could hardly get anything by that sum! 5 dollars is equivalent to ~3,80 euros... In the end I spent about 10 euros, yet I still couldn't buy a lot(partially because of the high prices but also because I live in the middle of nowhere)..

Toinen paketti menee Malesiaan yksityisswappiparilleni. Se on minun eka kerta kun lähetän jotakin muuta kuin pelkän kortin Malesiaan, toivon että paketti ei eksy matkalla ja että parini pitää siitä, mitä lähetän hänelle. Swapin ideana on lähettää 50-100g suklaapatukka ja 5 dollarin edestä muita juttuja. Viisi dollariahan on euroissa ihan naurettavan pieni summa, että ei sillä olisi meinannut saada mitään täältä kalliista Suomesta, niin ajattelin lähettää viidellä eurolla. Mutta viisi euroakin on pieni raha täällä!!!Loppupelissä swappiin meni melkein 10 euroa, enkä silti saanut ostettua oikeastaan mitään kunnollista(johtuen kalliista hintatasosta, mutta myös siitäkin, että asun keskellä peltoa ja erämetsää)..=(´Д｀)ノ  Suurin osa on herkkuja/teetä, joita hän kyllä onneksi toivoikin!

My first postcards from MALAYSIA and TAIWAN (*＾∀＾*)／!!!!

~From MALAYSIA:~

It is a post card from Aarti who asked me to do direct postcard swap with her! I was so happy when she asked me to exchange cards with her and even more happy when I received the card ^,^ The card represents the Twin Towers in Malaysia. I like how they look a bit futuristic. Thank you for the card, Aarti. I already picked a card for you but I'll not post a picture of it because I want it to be a surprise! 

Malaysian stamp.

It is from Cherish who I sent a card via Postcrossing. After she received my card, she wanted to send one for me as well. She is so kind (ღˇ◡ˇ)♥ Thank you, I like the card a lot!
