The actual first year post(picture heavy)

Hey, I've got quite a nice bunch mail this month and it's not over yet. Some of them were from last year but I only saw it in this year. Let's look through.

 From Norway, Anette.

 LR, USA.

 This was the first time I was contacted thanks to my adress in FB, it was a nice surprise. From Finland.

 Christmas card from South Korea, Odette.

 She also sent me this necklace.

 From Bree, Malaysia. I opened it it on January 5th only.

 This was inside of gifts. And a letter.

 Two packages I got before Christmas.

One was from Japan.

 The other one is from Germany.

 Christmas ornaments...

 ...and cup with candy from Germany. Such a lovely present.

 Traditional sweets and coffee from Japan.

 Also got a Christmas card from Japan too.

 This is how that coffee looked like. pretty interesting way to put it in the cup and easy to use.

From Shelby, USA.

 From Teja, Slovenia. Along with some pictures she sent me.

 Tanja, Germany.

Curious, Mexico.

 Ana, Croatia. She gave this to my hands when she came over here. My first meeting with a foreign pal :)

And last one came from France, Tari. The lenght of the letter is amazing. 14 pages with these small letters.

It's December!

Can you believe it? It's December again and Christmas is just in three weeks. Which means I have three weeks of this semester left and then starts my holidays before exams.
I still have mail from November and I will start with it.
There's a letter from Belgium which I missed out in the folder with pictures once and just noticed it from the end of October.

 This one from Silvia.



Now the latest mail.
First one from lovely Tanja, Germany.

 From Rina, Japan. I was really surprised, because I last heard from her in January.

 P.S.Japanese snacks are always delicious and they are so different from what we have.

 This one in forest theme came from France, Tari. Her letters are enjoyable reading adventure.

 Previous week I was really spoiled by all of my Finnish friends. On Tuesday received the package from my internet friend Minttu who sent me a cd of my favorite Korean band, since she got another one. It's really a special girt to me, because it's my first album of the band and first album at all. I'm still so happy that I can't put it away and leave it alone. Also got two snacks, one of them (!) Green tea kit kat. Dreams coming true, now I won't forget the taste of it :)

 The delicious kit kat. I have never had tried powdered green tea but tried Sencha. If you ever had it you can imagine the taste too. Of course, a bit more sweeter than natural tea ;)

 On Thursday was spoiled by two other Finnish girls. Postcard from Lapland by Lily.

 The stamp is gorgeous.

 And from Tiia. Christmas greeting card, letter(one page in Christmas theme), tea, photos(the other one depicting her so it's not in here), brochure from train museum, train tickets and some stamps. She is a pal who will deffinately take in consider time of the year, any bigger holidays which is always nice.

 As a difference to it a Halloween themed letter came from USA, Nicole. Got two more FB's and now I have 4 of them. Who to send them?:/ The last letter of November.

And here's the first one of December, from USA again, Laura.

It's already time to prepare and send Christmas cards. I hope to make an update of that as well with the outgoing mail, because I can't quite remember the last time I did that.

I wish you all to get some snow soon because I'm hoping for it too.

Beautiful update

And when I didn't thought I'll receive anything more lately due to my slowness in replying and beung behind mail, I still got spoiled.
These three are from the previous week - Wednesday to Saturday.

 From Ana, Croatia. Her last letter went missing and it's the saddest thing.

 Lots of hugs from Germany came from Tanja.

From Bree, Malaysia.
This week:
Postcard from Estonia, via Sendsomething.

Next was from Alison, Hong Kong...

 And gifts from Japan.

Finally, today I received a card from Egypt and letter from Tari, France.

 The close-up on stamps:

 And here's my reply and envie for Michi. I took long to reply to her and after everything was done I just had to take a picture of it. I hope she'll like it.

After procrastination

Yes, I was procrastinating so much that I can't believe it. The new semester started previous week and that's not helping at all, but here's the new-old mail update :)

Letters that came in the end of Summer and very beginning of the Autumn.
Look at this cute Japanese mailbox, the map-envie and cute first letter from Anna, Spain. It reached me safely and we were worried for no reason.

Another reply from Deborah, France.

From my dear UK pal Louise.

From Karolina, Czech republic. And a couple of beautiful postcards.

LR, USA.

I got two cards - from Finland and Turkey.

And stamps.

More train tickets, from Italy. Though one is French. I'm so happy that my train collection grew so fast.

Then this card-letter arrived. From USA.

Postcards from Taiwanese postcard pal who moved to Chicago.

From Sai, Germany. I love the horse stationery and tram stamp.

From Anette, Norway.

Another unexpected postcard from Lily, Finland and it was a sweet surprise.
