Postcard exchange

worm mail, some snakes are faster.

yes, Maski, the Chinese dragon is believe to be derivative of crocodile.

As Chiara is in our list now, I'll scan one post card she sent me a last month while she was in Barcelona.


Hey Pluie, once I read somewhere about the dragon year and seems like I was born in one of them... Am I a dragon? What this means? hehehe.

Re Goncin's Q about the address list, I like the new addresses in the body of the e-mail.

The twelve animals (including dragon) are only signs of Chinese zodiac,

And fortune teller can tell what is what when he knows exactly the birth time, date and month.

Let me say thank you with a bit of delay

THANK YOU to Francky, Thathavieira, Chantal and (although I didn't understand a word beside your nick) Pluiepoco..

Hopefully mine are on their way on Monday!!!

that means you understand all other words except that one?

To all Cucumis correspondents,
By the way, I want to know what kinds of your domestic books you like to read, in your languages, so we can have an exchange.

I don't know languages, but I think I can learn And what's more, I want to introduce some new literary works from foreign lands. Could you help me?

In fact, I am trying to translate some, and this can help me to learn languages too.

These books can include literature (including novels, peotry, dramas and so on), sicence (I am not good at, but I was once a science student and I believe I can understand), popular sayings and traditional slangs or new slogans,

and anything that can form written literature.

I haven't read books for almost one year, and I am eager to know what are you reading.

Please don't send me Bible, but if you persist to send, I will like to receive too.

People after 1980s in China, are hot after money, they waste their literary spirits, and I think I can do something in my free time and make a little difference to the cultural market.

The results may be, I send you Chinese books, and you send me your books in your national languages, but you maybe don't understand Chinese, No matter, I would like to explain to you, and on the other way, I maybe don't understand your languages, but I will try to learn, or otherwise I will ask you or other bodies to make me clear.

I am too lucky today! I have received two cucumiposts in the evening!

One is from Thatha, the Panorama of Fortaleza;
The other is from Menininha, the telephone card of Ribeirão Preto, as well as her nice letter occupying a whole A4 page! I am astonished and moved almost to tears, but I am man, and man is belived to have no tears!

I must say, you all have good writtings!

Oh nice!

I also received Lepurica's card! Thnx ever so much! I'm using all the cards as pagemarkers in my books, so I will scan them sooner or later, if I can find them all back again .

I will send my cards to the new people on the list one of these days.. Busy busy busy!

You're welcome, Chantal.

Hehe! "males don't cry"... (implicitely : "they are soooo superiors!) From my humble point of view, women are the human beings that do 2/3 of the work in a "man"'s life. They carry the child inside them, we males just have fun in the conception process, haven't we?...

I've just written cards for these people:

Angelus
anke24
Chiara85
drakova
Iepurica (and Bamsa)
Porfyhr
Rodrigues
Roller-Coaster
Tantine
tristangun
turkishmiss
Una Smith

A couple of hours more and they will be on the way .

Thanks in adavance, by the way, will be nice to have something in my mail box

Hurey!

Thanks a bunch Goncin!

I'll send a card to you as well as to all the cucumers here soon!

pluiepoco!
thanks for the disney card!
my trip to the city was cancelled! but I am going this weekend! (I cannot buy any postcards in my town)

Chantal --> thanks for your winterpicture of Holland

What is the thing in your picture, tristangun?

Is it a goose shot with an arrow?

Tristangun's avatar is Cupid Dead. By tradition Cupid is a naked, winged baby angel armed with a bow and arrow, who goes around shooting people with his little arrow, causing his victims to fall in love. Here he is dead, shot in the back with his own arrow.

Betrayal. Rejection.

I received yesterday the card from Rodrigues: a beautiful landscape from a castle and a bridge in Regensburg.

And yes, it arrived (don't you doubt on mail services anymore! )

Thanks, Rodrigues!

Thank you, Una, Today, I have sent postcards to you, and other three conrrespondents.

And I found there were new postcards in traditional Chinese design, I will buy some to send a new round of cards, so in the near future, the lucky ones will get my traditional Chinese postcards.
