Hello Zesties! π«Ά
Iβm in Taiwan rn and I SWEAR I have sooooo many places and food recommendations coming up π but ok la one post at a time am I right π (and yes, I changed the aesthetics of my post covers againβ¦β¦β¦.π₯Ή)
Anyway, I visited Taichungβs Shenji New Village (ε―©θ¨ζ°ζ) the other dayβa small little βvillageβ reminiscent of a flea market selling knickknacks & handcrafted goodsβand came across this cool-loooking space with pretty postcards π€©
Knew immediately that I had to step in because I LOOOOVE collecting postcards from my travels and then mail them back to myself in Singapore! π€
Ok wait, letβs break this post up for easy reading:

Situated right at the entrance of Shenji New Village, Kerkerland is a shop that sells uniquely designed letter-writing materials such as postcards, stickers, envelopes, etc as well as handcrafted goods like earrings, pouches & bags! π
Apart from that, Kerkerland is unique for its βFuture Mailβ concept where you can mail your future self/loved ones a postcard π They have these little time capsule mail drawers (6th pic) where you can slip your postcard/letter into the respective month & year you want your recipient to receive the postcard/letter! π€©
OH and if Iβm not wrong, the max year you can mail to would be 2033 (for now) π€―π€―

There were soooo many postcards and I was so spoilt for choice ngl π₯Ή BUTTTT since I was in a rush, I only managed to mail oneβ¦.π₯²
Hereβs how much I spent in total for one postcard!
[ COST BREAKDOWN ]
+ Postcard: NT$40 (~SGD$1.69)
+ Envelope: NT$10 (~SGD$0.42)
+ International Mail: NT$80 (~SGD$3.38)
TOTAL = NT$130 (~SGD$5.49)

Hereβs how you can write yours at this shop:
1. Pick a postcard π€ͺ
2. Add any sticker or an envelope if you want to π
3. Pay at the counter! Let them know if youβre doing domestic/international mailing and theyβll charge accordingly π
4. Write your letter on the postcard! You can use the table in pic 4 π€ BUT PLEASE DONβT HOG ONCE YOUβRE DONE π€¬
5. Choose when (month + year only) you want your recipient to receive the postcard and drop it in the little time capsule mail drawers!!
Kerkerland will mail the postcards on the 1st of every month so the only downside is that you canβt choose a specific date for the postcard to arrive in your recipientβs hands π€£

Iβve always loved sending myself postcards whenever Iβm overseas so that I have something to look forward to when Iβm back home π and imo, future mailing can be:
β’ A reminder/affirmation to your future self that things are going to be alright + cheer you on (if you write to yourself) π©΅
β’ A surprise to your loved ones! You may not even remember mailing the postcard since itβs for the future but at least you know it will definitely put a smile on your loved onesβ face π€ͺ
β’ A piece of memory to look back on <3 Imagine receiving this letter 10 years from now when your memory of the trip is vague π₯Ή it will defo bring back a surge of nostalgia β€οΈ
βββ
Aaaaand thatβs it from me! I really had fun with this and genuinely wished I had more time to write for my loved ones but because sis here was in a rush, I only managed to write one to my 2024 self T.T
I decided to send a postcard to myself in November 2024 because itβs my birthday month HAHAHA wanna make myself happy yknow #selflove πβοΈ
Ok anyway, thank you for reading everyone! Hope yβall will try this out when youβre in Taichung β€οΈ
