DMZ keepers

I took a DMZ tour last summer. It was a horrible hazy day, and I couldn't see anything from the lookout points. At least I picked up a few good cards.

Jeju keepers

I spent my summer vacation at Jeju island, "The Hawaii of Korea," off the southwest coast of the peninsula. Oddly enough, the only postcards on Jeju were of the hedge maze, and I had to go to Itaewon in Seoul to get all my scenic Jeju cards.

Saturdays at the park in Hongdae, a big university and clubbing area, there's a crafts market for artists. Here is a lovely handmade card I bought there:

Believe in Buddhism

I spent a weekend at a Buddhist temple a year ago, and all it had were these super cute cartoony dragon and Buddha cards.

Cutesy keepers

Stationery stores about in my town, and they all carry dime-apiece cutesy postcards, often random and with horribly butchered English. I love sending them out, but here are a few I liked for myself.

Mini cards

I found sets of mini postcards from England, New York, and Paris. They're about 3x4 inches.

Chicago & China

Our newest teacher is from Chicago and brought these first two cards with him. We traded and I introduced him to Postcrossing—he loves it.




We picked up cards to trade while we were on vacation, too, and he got these from China. One is a genuine vintage photograph, one of The Great Wall, and one art card. I couldn't get a good photo of it, but the colors and shapes are really lovely.
