Hiyah! / Ola!
This post will be both in English and Portuguese (se voce so entende portugues, continue lendo / if you only understand English, please scroll down)
Os Britanicos sao famosos por varias coisas: o cha da tarde, a familia real, o tempo chuvoso, a educacao, e varias outras coisas! Cartoes para todas as ocasioes (eu disse T O D A S) eh uma delas.
No meu primeiro ano de moradia aqui me surpreendi com a quantidade de cartoes que recebi: de natal, pascoa, aniversario, casa nova, casamento, por passar no teste de motorista (sim, eu disse, para todas as ocasioes rs) etc
Pra ser sincera? Eu adoooooroooo receber cartoes! Nessa era de redes socias e apps, ja acho raridade a gente receber um telefonema, imagina receber um cartao escrito a mao? Sem contar que a pessoa foi la, escolheu, comprou, escreveu, foi ao correio e postou. E isso tudo ela o fez pensando no destinatario! Nao eh o maximo?
A galera do Brasil ja sabe que quando chega um envelope coloridinho do correio com o selo da rainha so pode ter sido enviado por mim 😉
Here’s the English version:
The British are famous for many things: tea, the Royal family, the weather, for being polite and many other things! Cards for all occasions (I said A L L) is one of them.
In my very first year living in the UK I was amazed by the amount of cards I received: Christmas, Easter, birthday, new house, wedding, for having passed my driving test (yes, I did say for all occasions lol) etc
To be honest? I loooooooove receiving cards! Nowadays with social networks and apps I find it really rare to get a phone call let alone receive a handwritten card? Not to mention that the sender went to the shop, picked one out, bought it, wrote it, went to the post office and sent it. And they did all this thinking of the recipient! Isn’t it groovy?
People in Brazil already know when they get a coloured envelop with the HRH’s stamp in the post – it could only have been sent by me 😉
