Two postcards arrived today, on the same day. One from Moscow, the other from Myrhorod. The one from Myrhorod set a record for delivery speed. Just on Saturday, November 13, I dropped it in the mail in Myrhorod, and today, on the evening of November 15, it was already lying on my desk. Two days.

Another interesting fact about the Myrhorod post office: they don’t sell postcards with images of the city there (same in Poltava). I had to buy postcards outside at a newsstand.

The postcard from Moscow didn’t travel as quickly. I sent it on October 31. It took two weeks to get to me. But it’s good that it arrived at all. You can see on it that one stamp fell off somewhere along the way. But it’s good they managed to cancel the stamps before that. Actually, in Russia the expensive stamps are self-adhesive. The cheap ones you have to lick yourself. In the photo you can see that another little bunny is just about ready to fall off too. Next time I’ll try harder.
