“Buon Giorno! Ciao! Ciao Bella! Grazzi! Permesso! Prego! The extent of my Italiano! Roma… if you ask me…a little overrated… but beautiful nonetheless. Much.. much cheaper than Paris. Bellissima! You know I walked around & around & around looking for a tabacchie shop.. looking for a stamp? Such trouble for this postcard! Everyone should visit Rome at least once! -DK”
If this person can walk so much looking for a postcard, so can you! =)
‘Bonjour! from Paris! Another postcard from me. You’re special…You know that? Have I ever told you lately that I hate you? =) You should come visit Paris with your <3′er…Such a different feeling than coming with your buddies. Hope all is well! Miss you! Au revoir! -DK’
‘God Bless America! My grandfather always said “It is not what you earn that is important, it is what you SAVE.” He is from a tiny Greek Island called Ikaria. Nico’
So when I was in Columbus Ohio, I made a lot of pre-made postcards with stamps and labels on already. What surprised me about this postcard is that this person chose the one I thought nobody would choose, because it’s so cheesy. I am sure they are dog lovers, I like dogs too, except if they are not potty trained, stink, shed, bark, and/or jump all over you.
Well anyways, God bless America! (and for those of you that believe in something else, _____ bless America!). Thanks for your post and wisdom of your grandfather.
I bought this postcard in an antique market in Vienna. It’s beautiful and freezing here. My favorite city in Europe. The best thing about Vienna are the Christmas markets. T haven’t seen anything like them in the US. They’re a bunch of little huts selling ornaments, mulled wine, toys and traditional Viennese food. I think I’m going to quit law school and become a Christmas market organizer.
By the way, I picked this postcard because of the mustaches! And I learned that Emperor Franz Jareph was a hard-working dutiful man who was in love with his wife’s sister for his whole life. The Sister, meanwhile, thought he was alright.
At the moment I am on a plane flying to Canada…and I was wondering what are the requirements to get into the ‘Mile High Club’ I think I would like to be a member…”
“Because of excessive drinking and partying we were not able to go to Niagara Falls. I think buying this postcard was a bit premature… FAIL!”
“Living in Berkeley has been quite an experience. What I’ve come to realize is the Telegraph Ave. truly transforms at night. During the day the hippies are like colorful decorations adding to the intrigue and character of the city, but when it’s dark they’re more like large groups of litter on the sidewalk that might pounce on me and steal my laptop. I sometimes study at Cafe Mediterranean because it’s the only one open till midnight, but to get there you have to either walk in the street or work your way through the mind field of hippies b/w Haste & Dwight.”
‘Hello fellow promise to write folks. I’ve been sitting on this postcard thinking about what significant thing iI could Possibly share and realized today what the magic of San Francisco is. It’s not the famous landmarks or diverse places or even the unique culture that makes San Francisco magical. It’s the people you meet and the stories that are shared that make a lasting impression on lives. Being here everyday is a blessing. Come meet us and share your story! I dare you! All my best, Mike Nguyen =) ‘
You rock Mike!
