I just dropped by my second home = the post office again the other day. I swear.. when I get home and people ask me what I did in Denmark I will say "well I went to school.. I was in girl scouts.. I worked at the movies... and I went to the post office!" I visit, most weeks, twice a week. I think I have an addiction! I love sending postcards from Denmark! I cover them in little Danish flag stickers.. I just figure I'm here for just one year so I might as well send lots of postcards from Denmark!
But the other day I had to stop by to send some packages with candy out and some postcards of Alaska to friends in Denmark. I've also gotten into the habbit of sending Alaska postcards as thank you notes to people after I go to visit! They seem to like it! And I like to leave a great ALASKAN impression wherever I go! I bring Alaskan candies and key-chains whenever I visit anywhere.. and people just love it! Plus it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside :)
the post office in Ringe, my town.
But I have to say.. I'm a bit dissappointed with the U.S. post! Lately many of the postcards I've sent home never make it there. Which is frustrating to me. Obviously sending postcards is something really important to me.. and I've spent quite a lot of money (sorry mom and dad) buying and mailing postcards (on average $1.50 to buy and $2.00 to send). So it pisses me off that my money is going down the tubes because someone working for the post thinks it's funny to steal cool pictures of DK. Now I'm brainstorming other ways to send postcards without having them stolen..

Put them in envelopes (: it always helps: 1. they go faster and 2. it seems more important to the postal service thingy!
