Not sure about you, but I still prefer sending postcards to my friends and family rather than exchanging photos over Facebook or Instagram. Only few years ago, Facebook and Instagram did not exist as means for insta exchange of messages and photos of new places you visit to show to your friends. However, it became so trending, that it is rare to see somebody sending a postcard.

Well, anyways, as a fan of postcards myself, I was dazzled to find out these old vintage postcards that speak volumes of the world back in the day…

I hope they will warm your heart too, and that you will feel free to share some more over my virtual city memoir here:
