I received my first postcard from my social experiment!
A month ago I started a social experiment and offered to send postcards to Steemians. You can check out my original post here. A week later, I sent out 7 postcards around the world.
Some of the Steemians were very kind and offered to send one back to me, that wasn't part of the original social experiment but I was very grateful for their kindness.. A couple of days ago, I received my first postcard from @dfinney from the States. She's from Seattle, a city that I've never been before, and hence don't know much about. The only thing I know is Starbucks is from Seattle, which @dfinney reminded me in her postcard. Hubby has been before, and says Microsoft, who we all love and hate, is from Seattle, and that Bruce Lee, Hong Kong's king fu legend is buried there.
I haven't Googled Seattle because I want to give my impression of it from the postcard.
So, Seattle looks like an interesting city. There's a mix of modern skyline and an older side which looks really quaint. Like a lot of cities, it also has a tower, I like how the exterior looks like its being held up with suspenders!! In one of the images, I can see the snowy mountains in the background, and in another image, it's by the sea. I'm embarrassed to say, I don't know the exact location of Seattle, without Googling, I'm going to say it's somewhere north of New York. Either way, in Chinese fung shui terms, it's good to have mountains and water by you.
The US stamp on the post card is very interesting. It's round, first time I've seen that, but its been a long time since I've seen stamps. I think a lot of stamps are self adhesive like stickers now. I reckon this is as well because the edges aren't torn, otherwise it would be a nightmare to tear these off the sheet. My botanical knowledge is as bad as my US geography so I'm not sure what plant this is. It looks like a Christmas plant, the ones you get around Christmas time.
So this my impression and review of Seattle. How did I do @dfinney? As a thank for sending me the postcard, I've set a 10% beneficiary of this post to @dfinney. And by the way, I hope you like my postcard _
