Post card
I love the post office and the post.
I sent postcards every day to my little daughter who was waiting for me in Japan. Nowadays, I can send e-mail from anywhere. But still, it's nothing compared to the wonderfulness of postcards with drawings on them.
I was able to buy official postcards with stamps printed on them at the Austrian post office, just like the official postcards in Japan. I would like to make the sketches into postcards from the country, so I asked the post office if they were sold there. I thought that official postcards were available in every country, but most countries don't sell them. If I can't get them, I buy A6 size cards at a stationery store and use them.
I also want some nice commemorative stamps for my mail, so I look for a post office to get some. Even when I arrive at a post office in a big town, there are a row of reception counters, and it's usually not clear which one sells commemorative stamps. There should be a notice posted, but I'm not sure which counter is the one I'm looking for. It doesn't say commemorative stamps. Just ask the staff.
If I show them an incomplete postcard and ask for a stamp to Japan, they will understand even if I don't speak the same language, but they will only give me regular stamps. I had made the effort to find a large post office in order to get beautiful stamps. Even though they didn't understand, I didn't give up and tried my best to string together the words I could think of, asking for a variety of beautiful commemorative stamps.
But, is quite difficult in my language skills, I have often not get found to be struggling in the country who do not speak English.
Also, I think in such a way that the number of post has become very less at the airport.
It did not seem dealing only Queen of the normal stamp is a small post office of rural England.
