I got three postcards in the mail today! :)

I've gotten 11 postcards so far from Postcrossing, which is weird, since I've only sent 10...

In the order I've received them, I've gotten cards from:
Great Britain (near Sherwood Forest)
Belgium
Moscow, Russia
Brno, Czech Republic
Innsbruck, Austria
Rheinfelden, Germany
Ludwigshaten, Germany
Hameenlinna, Finland
Kempen, Germany
Turku, Finland
Krefeld, Germany

I've also received two postcards back from people I sent them too.
I got one from Curitiba, Brazil and one from Oulu, Finland.

Cool!

That is something I have considered doing. It just sounds like fun. Maybe I shall buy some postcards and register.

Other than Canada, it is 70 cents postage to other countries for postcards. The way they have it set up is neat too, because you send a card first, then when it's received they give someone else your address to send one to you, so if you're really busy or broke you just don't request any addresses.

So I send one. Then once it is received, the receiver documents it on the site and the site passes along my address? Or does the person who received the postcard pass along my address when he/she sends another postcard?

The site will email your address to the next person who requests an address. They never put the addresses on the site. The only way the person you send one to has your address is if you give it to them.
Also, when you are registering the received card you can type a message that will be sent to the person who sent it to you.

You don't get to pick where you are getting them from or sending them to, but I've sent them to Australia, Brazil, and lots of places in Europe.
