Hello mailbox

I've been waiting for another time again, so when I finally finds something in the mail box, it's pretty much a release of excitement. I don't think I can live the good life without getting something in the mailbox. It's just... After starting snail mailing I've got used to check my mailbox, so it's a bit hard to get un-used to it. This postcard is from Margit from Germany! Even though she's from Germany, she sent me a postcard of The ensemble of The Smolny Cathedral in St. Petersburg in Russia! I really appreciate, that she sent me this card. It is amazing. 
Thank you!

Hello mailbox

A day goes, a day starts. That's pretty much how life works. I've been wondering, why I don't receive so many postcards and letters anymore. It feels weird. When opening my mailbox I always hope there's something for me, but noo.. Is it because I haven't sent enough myself? But I don't really think that's it. I DID send letters and postcards, but I haven't received many. So most amazingly is when I finally finds something. This postcard is from my pen friend Olya from Russia. She was in Tallinn (Estonia) and decided to send a postcard of St. Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral. Beautiful! I love churches like these.
Thank you!

Oh so sleepy...

I was waiting for this day to come! Seriously! First a 90th birthday party and then a small party with my friends. I can say: I love birthday parties. Birthday = cake. Cake = yummy. Yummy = happy me. The birthday went good and I was full. Wonderful feeling. 

At my friends flat we had a killer party. We weren't many people at all, but we all knew each other. Time went so fast, and I don't remember much, but what I know is that we drank, listening to music, laughed and later we even went down to the local hookah café. I've never in my entire life tried to smoke before, so smoking hookah was the very first time... And probably the last time! Hookah smells better than cigarettes, but just because the smell good, doesn't mean they taste good. Eww... Actually a lot of the time I just wanted to sleep. I was very tired, and so I also was the first one to go to bed. Yup, I was off.

Hello mailbox

Just as I got a postcard yesterday, I get another one today as well! Wonderful much? Most epic is that this postcard is from my penfriend Katya in Russia too! What a postcard flip?! This postcard is from Brussels in Belgium. Looks like she's having a Europe tour or some kind bahee.. I've never got a postcard from Belgium before, so this is the first. In fact, there are many countries I don't have a postcard from.
Thank you!

Hello mailbox

I don't think I get as many postcards now as I got for a half year ago. I guess everybody's busy with studying or something. Notice that I'm busy myself so...
Today I got something in the mailbox.It's a postcard from my penfriend Katya in Russia! She's in Amsterdam right now. I really wanna visit Amsterdam myself. It should be really pretty, something a little bit a like Copenhagen but still not exactly a like. This is beautiful.
Thank you!

Hello mailbox

First thing in the mailbox of the year! This time it's from my penfriend Olya in Russia. She has send me a parcel/envelope with a lot of great things. What's really awesome is: the great things were packed in Christmas gift wrap. So cute! Well, it surprised me a lot, because I didn't expect so many things a such thin parcel. This parcel contains a souvenir magnet, a Russian spoon, matryoshka stickers, a matryoshka mobile pendant, a letter, a little book from the cinema, a new year card and some more amazing stuff. Uploading two photos for this post, so you can see how it really looked like.
Thank you!
