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, we 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 you show them an incomplete postcard and ask for a stamp to Japan, they will understand even if you don't speak the same language, but they will only give you 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.
