Postcard exchange

All right! Now it's my turn.

Grazie molte per la tua cartolina da Volterra, Alex. Sono lietissima!!! Questo è un paese molto bello e vecchio.



And your Polish is surprisingly good! How did you know the Polish adjective from "Cucumis" ("cucumisowy" )?

Wow! I never imagined you would have got my postcard so soon, "vox populi" tends to say that Italian Postal Service is the slowest in Europe.
I mean, I'm surprised my postcard left Italy so quickly!

I checked my Polish loads of times before actually taking the pen and writing it down...
I found out that the adjective for Internet in Polish was "internetowy", so I hoped the same went for Cucumis. Luckily it does

Nie ma za co! I'm glad you liked it, I took great care when choosing it.
So now please stop being jealous of Pia, huh?

No, I’m not jealous anymore.
But I’m curious how long time ago you sent your card, cause, I guess, Polish postal system works even worse than yours.

About internetowy and cucumisowy, it was right to associate them both with each other - you’re a smart guy, dear! Just please take notice (in case if you didn't know) that a female form of the adjective takes an ending “owa” : "internetowa strona" (=website), “cucumisowa przyjaciółka” (cucumis girl-friend) and neutral form, however, is ending with “owe”…

And I just need to share one more thing with you. You know, your card surprised me, especially that I got it on Friday, i.e. on Teacher’s Day (we celebrate it each year on the 14th Oct. in Poland)! Our postman just met me on the street while I was coming back home after a reception on the occasion and he gave me your card… It was really nice…
You can look forward to something from me since now on...

This is definitely a SHOCK.

I sent the postcard last Wednesday, i.e. the 12th October. It could barely make sense if you had received it yesterday, but how can a postcard travel over 1800 km in just three days FROM and TO two countries that are supposed to have very slow postal services?
In spite of such mystery ( ) I'm very glad you got it in the right place at the right time. BTW in Italy we don't have such celebration, teachers usually celebrate their day on 1st May (Workers' Day) along with every other employee and self-employee.

Więc, od teraz będę czekać na coś od ciebie, droga Aneto!

Thanks for the grammatical hint!!

Come on... you are STILL jelous Aneta!

Alex, you never told me your address!

Neither did you, Pia!

Check your inbox

TRUE!! I guess you are a better 'detective' than I am.

Yes, it is shock, Alex!
Anyway, I thought Teachers' Day is celebrated everywhere in the world, even if in different time.

Yes, Pia, I'll always be jealous of Alex!

Why?

I thought you were jealous at me, Because our dear friend sent meeee a postcard first.

Oh, I was just jealous of you two!
But not that I am a jealous type, not at all! Haha!

Hi, goncin and all!
I have a new address in Shanghai, and has sent gmail to goncin, hope he can renew the cucumis list.

My new address in Shanghai is:

Address: China, Shanghai, Ming Hang Qu, Luo Yang Lu 800 Nong, 176 Hao Lou, 202 Shi
Postcode: 201100

Chinese: 上海市闵行区罗阳路800弄176号楼202室

Receiver: Pluiepoco
Chinese: 刘晓雨

I have visited my local post office and bought some 60 local-style post cards, and whoever loves old Shanghai-style cards can write to me below this thread, and tell me your address if it is absent or different from the listed.

Christmas is approaching. Merry Christmas to you!

PIA
Just this afternoon my parents told me I had received some stuff from far, far away...





Not one, but TWO beautiful cards!
The teddy-bear holding your wishes is so cute
Tell me, does it look like the icebears which invade Strängnäs's streets after sunset?

TACK SÅ MYCKET kära Pia

So, double present this year... I'd better start to think of something for your next birthday!

You are more than welcome dear Alex

:-D I should have sent you a postcard much earlier. Glad you liked it and YES the bear looks exactly like the ones I told you about!! ;-)

ANETA's turn



Thanks for the beautiful card which shows your beautiful city. Thanks a lot for your multilingual greetings too!
Have I told you yet that your Italian is perfect?

DZIĘKUJĘ BARDZO!

CC: Aneta B.

My pleasure, dear Alex.

I'm just as clever as you are...You know what I mean...

Dear Alex, thank you so much!!


You have a very nice handwriting.

You're welcome

Is this a way to your vineyard, Alex? It looks just like the pics of your neighbourhood...

No, it's a place in the neighbourhood of Siena. But it could be indeed... if you see such a scenery, you can be sure you're in Tuscany

I already love the Tuscany landscapes!
