I've been collecting postcards on and off since I was a kid - exchanging them while trading zines, buying them everytime I'm on vacation, and getting them from family members who went overseas. In January 2007 I discovered Swap-Bot, and from then on I started collecting more actively! Since then I also started to swap on Postcrossing and the Postcrossing Forums.

Great Wall of China

Wednesday, January 14, 2009


Along the Badaling Great Wall a large number of beacon towers were built at locations of strategic importance. In case of offense, smoke would be produced in the towers at daytime, and fires would be lit after nightfall so that within short notice message would reach the capital.
