Why do we need postcards nowadays? Electronic communication is better and cheaper than it's ever been. However,postcards always take more than 2 months from Russia to China(both of them are almost the slowest country) and cost more money than the net. So why do we need postcards nowadays? Above all,postcards are very beautiful and have strong local colour. Cologne Cathedral,different local stadiums... It's a novel sightseeing journey on the paper. In addition,postmarks and stamps are also very important. I detest dimensional barcode stamps...without aesthetic feeling. At last,postcards are cheaper than letters.I like to send postcards to myself when travelling.It's a special part of memory. If you want to give someone a surprise,go to send postcards to him/her~ WARNING:Don't write your private information on the postcards. And remember to use electronic tools when you need to deliver an urgent message!
