JUNE 2020 - Postcards on the way!
Added 2020-06-08 11:46:39 +0000 UTCStory time: I went to Ryogoku today to send the postcards. I did — sort of. (1) I sent the cards to everyone living in Japan at Ryogoku Station (2) From the Sumida Yokozuna Post Office near the Sumo Arena, I could send the cards to Germany, UK, Canada, Finland, Switzerland, S’pore and all other places taking international mail except — the USA. They said they would not accept it but the internet update says they still take postcards and letters so — (3) I went to the main Tokyo Station Post Office <see photo=""> and asked the manager. She took my cards and said the mail is still going but “it’ll take a while”. Basically no one knows exactly what is happening with the USA but USPS is taking mail and Japan Post is sending it. Not all post office know this. So, when your in doubt and someone says no and you’re sure your right, don’t argue. Thank them, walk away then go to the top. He or she will know for sure and sometimes — YOU ARE RIGHT! What does this mean? The postcards are on the way ✈️ 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇺🇸 🇳🇱 🇨🇭 🇹🇭 🇸🇬 🇫🇮 🇫🇷 🇲🇽 🇵🇭 (sorry 🇦🇺 🇵🇹 🇧🇷 🇷🇴 🇧🇾 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇮🇪 🇮🇹 🇦🇹 not yet) </see>

2020-07-03 14:12:57 +0000 UTCI can only imagine how many postcards will arrive once our mail starts coming in from Japan, here in Australia. I’ve gotten mail from the USA which is in a worse state than Japan; go figure 🤷🏻♀️.

2020-06-12 12:53:23 +0000 UTCOhh, thank you. I can tell you it takes longer bc I didn't get the one from last month. What is ironically, the one from April arrived 3 weeks after you sent it out. 🙃😉. I hope you and Kanae are doing well. Still love to watch your postings, but since I had to go back to work I can't catch a lifestream anymore. But maybe on my day off... Love and greetings from Houston. As always, stay safe and well. Tell Kanae hello from us and my husband is a very big fan of your educational Google Earth 🌎 videos. He said that he got so much information out of these Twitch streams and he takes it in like a sponge. You should get your own TV show. 😉😊❤.

2020-06-08 23:30:57 +0000 UTCThanks John for going the extra mile. I live in Honolulu and have not received the post card yet for the Olympic Torch stamp! I don't think I ever will considering it took 69 days for one of my brothers in Ireland to get his Christmas card! But, I will not fret as your videos make up for everything! Stay safe and stay well.
