Postcards and journals



I love the vintage cover design of my new journal. It reminds me of the postcards that B and I sent out to our family and friends during our recent visit to Ho Chi Minh City. The ones we sent from Malaysia were just those free ones from the hotel, though. Except the select few which we bought from the airport. I remember sending postcards with Rafflesia flower designs as well as those with Proboscis monkey images. We even sent postcards to ourselves! It sounds silly but it really is fun getting them from the places we just visited a few days or weeks ago! It confirms one's existence. It confirms that snail mails are still working! It confirms that we really were there - oh those fun and culturally different, interesting places. I wonder when and where B and I will have a vacation again. I like the idea of a quick Macau tour, although the photos I've seen online and from friends' posts and blogs did not show a lot of local and traditional things that can be seen or done in the city. I also think that Bangkok would be nice, except that the news has been warning people of the political violence going on there right now. Hmmm. Or maybe, who knows, if something silly or exciting or surprising comes up, then I guess there will be no trips for us this year. I don't know. I'm just loving my journal now. Why am I blabbering about vacations?
