Thanks for the shout out Chris! The postcard experiment was a lovely way to meet people on Hive and a great way to turn virtual into reality. The only downside is the cost and unreliability or the mail service. In UK postage is pretty expensive, compared to Taiwan. Postage cost around 25p to most places in the world from Taiwan, whereas here we're talking at least £1.50. Then there's lost mail. Out of the postcards I mailed from Taiwan last March, 2 out of the 3 to Philippines still haven't arrived, likewise for Pakistan. And Cuba and Venezuela still haven't arrived from UK since last March and December.
Happy days!
