こんにちは。

I’m an Indonesian girl who is aiming for Japanese scholarship. My favorite things from Japan are Pompompurin, Vocaloid (mainly MEIKO and KAITO), manga, and bishoujo games. I also can write simple Japanese.

Offer – Exchange written postcards

My username is bryyo, I’m 36 years and was raised and born in Germany. I do 2D Game Art and Animation and currently re-working on 3 Boss fights for the August Demo release.

I’m looking firstly for 3 or 5 Postcrossers from Japan (raised and born) about my age group (30-40 years) to exchange 1 written postcard either:

  • Every quarter (Example: 1x postcard in June, the next one in September, then in December and so on)
  • Every second month (Example: 1x postcard in June, then August, then October and so on)

I think this is less stressful for all of us. ^ ^

I can show you all postcards through private message if you want one specific card. If you want to get a surprise, I select the postcard by your Postcrossing wishes/favourites.

In return I’m interested in any postcard from my Postcrossing profile (also favourites).
You can also send whatever you want to show me. I’m not picky.

I write in block letters and decorate my postcard with washi tape, stickers, drawings and stamps.
If you don’t like it, tell me please.

I like some Japanese writers, including Natsume Souseki and Murakami Haruki. I’m interested in Japanese history, culture, landscapes and daily life.

Just swap postcards or be penpals are both ok!

I plan to stamp the 2024 Japan Showa Base postmark
I know that the seal of Showa Base can only be used for Japanese addresses and does not currently serve foreign addresses

I have some questions to ask my Japanese friends

:information_source:This is the pattern on the back of the postcard that I designed. Is this okay?

I will find someone to send the postcard to me from the post office when it returns to Tokyo from Showa Station

:information_source:I have postcards and stamps now. Is there anyone who can help me? I will give you a Chinese Antarctic postcard.

Hello!
My memory is quite old.
Sorry if I misunderstood.
In this case, it is probably not possible to cancel two special postmarks on one card at this time.
I think you need to apply for each separately. Postage rates in Japan will increase from October 1st.
This postmark will be stamped and canceled after the price increase.
You will need a stamp of at least 85 yen to stamp in one place.
A stamp of 100 yen to send back to you will be fine.
I am not good at English, so I hope I have been able to communicate well to you.

You provided a detailed answer, I understand now. I just need to find someone to help me
