Dear guest,
our new website isn't finished yet. With so many countries it's a lot of work. But we hope the result is good. Hope you enjoy it! The goal is to add little stories on each page (almost every card has got one); to add the backside of every card in the photogallery (a new world opens: all the comments people have wrote on it ! it's sometimes really educational giving inside in people's countries); maybe I had to make a language-selector and translate the basic info in different languages; I will try to contact all the people again to mention about this website ... a lot of things to do. Hopefully I can find the time to do so and my wish is that this website at the end helps Elke to get her missing cards as well. Thumbs up, Wim

PS: if you add a comment it would be fun to hear from which country you are.

I really liked the design of your website, as well as the story-telling part. I hope to read more stories of your postcarding journey. Warm wishes from Ankara, Turkey...

Glad to see my postcard of Kek Lok Si temple, Penang island, Malaysia in your blog. Enjoy collecting every country. I have reached 238 countries and postal entities and the last missing countries is a great challenge and adventure to complete. It is great that you share your cards and your experience online. Cheers, SL Liew :)

Hello from Leipzig! Its a wonderful site with wonderful cards. I also contacted hundreds of people in private swaps, and only a few were angry or upset. Most of them supported the idea and sent a acrd or even more from their home. Keep on and good luck!

Elke, your email has made me think of something other than myself which was very much needed . May your endeavour be richly rewarded. Its certainly a pleasure to send you cards from Guyana.

Je hebt hier een hele mooie website gemaakt met de kaartjes recto-verso.
Ik heb, als ik me goed herinner, ook aan een paar mensen gevraagd om een kaartje te zenden maar sla me dood ... ik weet niet meer aan wie en vanuit welk land ze moesten komen.
Ik zal eens rap gaan zien welke kaartjes Elke nog mist.
Groetjes.

Hoi Elke en Wim!

Wat een leuk idee! En jullie hebben echt al heel veel kaarten.
Vandaag kreeg ik van Wim mijn eerste Belgische postcrossing kaart, ik ben gelijk een kijkje op jullie site gaan nemen. Ik ga met jullie meedenken over hoe we de ontbrekende landen in jullie collectie kunnen bereiken.
Heel veel plezier en succes met jullie project!
Natasja

Hello from Montana, USA! Loved the idea and hope you finish the collection. I'm a stamp collector myself and if you ever need or want postcards from America just ask. My husband and I live very close to Yellowstone National Park and we send out lots of postcards to friends and family with the Yellowstone postmark. I'll also check with my penpals to see if anyone can get in touch with some people from the countries you need.

Elke, Wim,
this is such a cool idea, I'm sorry I didn't know this earlier. The website is really great! I'll check regularly and send you postcards from wherever we go.
your cousin Kim, Belgium
