Burundi

Not many postcrossers in Burundi. I sent five cards with the numbers BI-54 to 58. A picture of the post office in Bujumbura:


I asked for postcards and they told me to come in behind the counters, gave me a chair and brought a pile of postcards:

One card & stamps costed about a dollar. The ladies were extremely nice and gave me a pen and told me to sit there and write my cards. I had 27 cards so I said I will write at my hotel.

I have three cards left. Write me a PM if you want one sent from Burundi. First three will get one. I expect a card from you in exchange.

Wow, you are already in Burundi. So glad you could find nice postcards and send them easily! The postal workers sounds very helpful too. Thank you for taking pictures and sharing your experience with us. :smiling_face:

P.S.
In case someone wondering: this is just a comment and I don’t mind not getting cards from Burundi, so people below me still has chance!

Too late for me to ask you to create a maxicard in the process of mailing it as a postcard!

Thanks for sharing your fun experience. Enjoy your visit and have fun writing your cards! :+1:t2:
