Postcard exchange

I will keep that in mind.

Faroe Islands has a kind of autonomy. The police, law system and air teritory are Danish, the rest of the authorities are Faroese or, at least a big part of them. It exist a parliament (the oldest in the world, I believe, is more than 1000 years old) and a prime-minister. Some of the laws are Farose, even though the court and the constitution are Danish. The Danish laws must been aproved by the parliament first, in order to be applied. The Coast Guard is Faroese and there is no army. By the way, men don't do army service, only if they want to volunteer for the Danish army.

It's a little bit special. For example, I had to apply for rezidence in Denmark, even though I've got work permit and rezidence permit ONLY for Faroe Islands. On the other hand, when I'll apply for Faroese citizenship, I'll get automatically the Danish one, too.

There are people who wish complete independency, maybe someday will happen.

Watch out, incoming stupid question if you are MATPIGAN, why do you have a man cooking as avatar.

BTW, I like your avatar.

well, that was a question...hm
I do not know anyway thanks for asking. I am a bit confused now...how come you know what 'pigan' is... do you understand swedish?

Clicka på casper tavernello.
Jag tror att jag förstår.

Goncin, you said this: the respective posting tax for each destination.
Well, here was one tax to Brazil and another to the international cards, weird!
And it's good to see the stamp that is on it, cute! I didn't see that...

Hey Chantal, about what you wrote in Goncin's card, well, I think we can always send cards and letters huh? Not only having a time to do that, this was a great idea.

Now, using Nina's and Francky's idea, I'll write letters and inside it I'll put the cards... This seems better for moi.

Thatha,

The taxes I paid were something like these:

Inside Brazil: R$ 0,60
Countries in Europe: R$ 2,00
China: R$ 2,10
USA: R$ 1,60

In short: higher taxes for further places.

Noooossaaa!
Here was inside Brazil: R$ 0,65
Outside Brazil: R$ 0,85

If you want, send me the cards... it would be cheaper... eheheh.

This month I'll go to a school trip and there could have some cards... It's a beautiful mountain.

pluiepoco, was my Chinese handwriting even legible?

I got Iepurica's postcard! Yay!

So it took almost 10 days till States. I'm glad you've got it.

Today I sent postcards to Una Smith, Ivelina, Chiara and Angelo,and I'll send one to MATPIGAN tomorrow. Sorry if you're stamps collectors, this time I bought enveloppes for international and it is prepaid (stamp is printed on it) Next time I'll come back to the plain old stamps (collection ones)!

I read goncin's post about postal rates. Today I bought 10 international prepaid enveloppes for 9 euro; these enveloppes are valid throughout the world. so that if you use them for Belgium or any other neighbour country the rate is a little bit higher than with the regular stamping, but if you send mail to USA, Brazil or China, I think rate of it is lower than regular stamping. Then post(wo)men don't bother to look how much it costs on their computer (except if weight of the mail is exceeding 20g). My only regret was about the plain ol' stamps (appreciated by collectors). So that after all, I don't think I'll keep on using this kind of enveloppes, even if it's much more handy for post(wo)men. I prefer good old stamps, with -often- very beautiful drawings printed on them (as far as you ask for these "collection" stamps, because if you don't you'll get ugly ones) ...

Yes, I think stamped cards are better than sealed ones. I find some posts including mine, were not with stamps, but with seals indicating the rates.

In my postoffice, there is no difference to send a card from China to Brazil or to France, that is to say, all rates from China to foreign lands are the same: RMB4.50 Yuan. But sometimes, they stick stamps, sometimes they only affix seals.

Next time, I will urge them to send with completely stamps, because the seals are not collectible.

I have received Iepurica's card today!

and



But I don't have the wisdom to understand why you call me "Mr. Fix Ideas"?

Hi caspertavernello, well...after a visit to your profile I understand how come you understand
what my nickname is (or was I has change MATPIGAN to pias) Anyway, wow....
you know a lot of languages....good for you

Now to my stupid question about what caspertavernello means..I know..This is NOT the forum for names, but I ask you here.
and by the way what does your avatar mean? I'm just curious.. Does it has something to do with Brazil.

OK.
I'll post on 'name meaning forum", but believe me, it's a very very boring story and there's absolutelly nothing to do with Brasil (maybe just a little).

BTW, how did you change your nick?
