Anja 🇳🇱 was the lucky recipient of FR-1000000... but instead of just a postcard, she received a bounty goodies from the French community, who got together to surprise the recipient of this very special Postcard ID. 😍 How cool is that?!

This week, we visited the leaning postboxes of Taipei — so famous that they even have their own special postcards! 😍 They were hit by a billboard blown by typhoon Soudelor in 2015, but managed to survive and today they are quite popular. #postboxsaturday
