Our First card to the Czech Republic is in the mail.

Thanks to postcrossers Bea and Laura from Intermediate who have put their English to good use with this wonderfully informative postcard.  Our postcrossing friends in the Czech Republic are sure to like it as well as the front of the postcard depicting the Way of St. James.  Perhaps it will inspire them to go on the Pilgrimage.

Happy Mardi Gras

Happy Mardi Gras to postcrossers everywhere! 

 If you like Mardi Gras, costumes, and postcards, then the New Orleans Mardi Gras Postcard Museum is the place for you.  Of course, New Orleans is the home of Mardi Gras in the USA and their museum boasts postcards over 100 years old.  Go to the Exhibit link to see their wonderful collection.

Another postcard is on its way to Taiwan, this time to Taipei

Meiching in Taipei, Taiwan, is the fortunate recipient of this postcard written by 3 Intermiediate students who really do show that they know how to use their English well.  The postcard has 5 emblematic views of Santiago which Meiching is sure to find lovely.  Thanks again to our English students who are the true reason this project is such a success.

Basic 2 students have sent their first card.

Begoña and Lucía from Basic 2 have written a lovely personal message to Anca in Romanía. They make mention of Santiago's famous octopus dish and, of course, the RAIN!.  Great way to use your English.  Keep postcrossing!

And we're staying in the Americas with this card from Brazil

Great postcard received today from Sylvia, a Brazilian postcrosser and Corinthians soccer fan (as evidenced by the Club's soccer shield on the postcard)  An interesting fact is that this card traveled just over 8,000 km and took 26 days to get here whereas the one from Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA), travelled almost the same exact distance but took only 16 days.  Also worth mentioning is that the Brazilian card carries beautiful stamps (notice the series of 3 at the top which together form an entire scene) and came in a fully stamped envelope as well.  If you are a stamp enthusiast, this is defintely a card to check out.

Our first postcard from the USA has arrived!

Valerie in Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA) has sent us this wonderful postcard depicting the state bird: the Roadrunner.  She herself is an English teacher and really praises our students' efforts to practice English through postcrossing. Click here to learn how to pronounce Albuquerque and here for more information on the roadrunner (it's not just a fictional cartoon character!).

Gorgeous postcard of the famous Russian nested dolls

A huge thanks to Valeria in St. Petersburg for this colorful postcard of the famous Russian nested dolls called Matryoshka dolls.  We're so happy to get our first postcard from Russia because that's where our first card went to.

Greetings from the Czech Republic

Lug from the Czech Republic has sent us this gorgeous and informative postcard about lovely Studenka.  Thanks for all of the information!
