i totally agree on the thing that, receiving/sending an official card for the first time from/to a certain country, is a feeling one of a kind, even though you have numerous cards from there already...i have waaay too many cards from Italy and Hungary and Brazil and Malaysia for example...but i know that if tomorrow and official card arrives from one of these countries, id be delighted :D Same goes with sending...sending an official card for the fist time to a certain country just feels special...
well, i guess its that surprise factor...and adding all different flags to your official profile...i think this is why i got back to sending officials in larger amounts....i can hardly wait for my 6 currently travelling to be registered, so i can pull out a new draw...and ill be able to have 7 travelling at a time! Heh, excitement :))))
