Photo postcard


This is a postcard from a very good penpal in Indonesia:)
I love our loonnnggg messages to each other. 
Exchanging our ideas on issues, sharing similar values, differences in cultures and way of life. 
She went to stores looking for postcards but couldn't find one. 
Instead she printed a photo and made it into a postcard.

The photo on the postcard is that of the Bromo Mountain. 
According to her, she was going to go there with her class but apparently the mountain is in one of its dangerous moods. So it would have to be postponed. 

Through our messages, I realize that even though we live thousands of miles away from each other, our lives, values and beliefs are rather similar. Its comforting to know that in an increasingly polarized and fragmented world, there are people out there who are unexpectedly similar to us. 

Looking forward to your next message ;)

~Salam~
