Postcard #120 – A Car from Poland
by syaffolee
This is a perfectly nice postcard. Except there’s one thing wrong with it. There’s nothing written on it. It’s virtually new.
I received this in an envelope from Poland along with a generic greeting on a separate sheet of paper. I’m not sure if the sender doesn’t understand the concept of a postcard swap or has an entirely different philosophy about it. Or maybe the sender is really paranoid about having anything posted, so sent me a blank card just to be safe.
Most people would be like, “Ah, a free postcard! I can send this to someone else!” I personally feel a bit uncomfortable about that if the sender does not explicitly state that I can use it. Besides, there’s a rule on the Postcrossing site that says that you can’t reuse postcards, so that’s out even if you wanted to do that. And seriously, I’m already tempting the wrath of the postcard police by just posting this postcard on this blog.
Don't Shake the Flask 
Some people like collecting unwritten postcards. I know one of my friends in highschool did, and I brought to her from my holidays various unwritten postcards (plus one I’d write on, but that was for her personally, not for the collection). So I understand her being confused by your “collection” and wanting to send you a new card.
