Happy World Post to all postcrossers! (:
In Novosibirsk, Russia there will be a special cancellation for this Day at Central Post Office from tomorrow till October, 13th.
Yes indeed, the Postmen and women of the world are busy people, carrying all our wonderful postcards from my home to yours and from yours to mine. Today I posted 10 postcards and received 13 - long may it continue.
Wouldn't it be great to receive a postcard with the special datestamp from Russia mentioned in the first message of this post?

I don´t think there are any celebrations here in Denmark. Yesterday the last post office in my region closed. Now all we have is a small "shop" inside a supermarket.

Happy World Post Day from Helsinki! Having been a postal worker myself, I know that while delivering mail is also a lot of fun, it can be really hard work as well. So I really appreciate the work that postal service people do. Thank you! I was also really happy to send some special cancellation cards today. :-)
Happy World Post Day! Thank you, postmen or post women. I am grateful to all of you for mailing our cards and letters.
Happy World Post Day!!!

Happy World Post Day!!!
Did anyone in Western Europe use PostCardPress from Russia yet? The postcards look tempting but delivery times are quoted as "2 to 6 weeks" (to Belgium) - that is of course very long...
Oh no, I missed this/just saw this article now! I would have liked to have gotten in on some of those discounts. Oh well.
Happy World Post Day from China!!! Thank you postman and women！
Happy World Post Day from Australia. Unfortunately Australia Post has celebrated World Post Day by hiking the cost of postage on Postcards to $1.85 (Asia Pacific) and $2.60 to rest of the world, up from $1.70 to anywhere. Will not be able to afford to send many postcards to rest of world (US, Russia, Holland, Belarus), all those wonderful Postcrossing countries.
Lucky those who live in places with reliable postal services. Unfortunately it´s not the case here in my street in Sao Paulo ( Brazil). Postmen here are careless and lazy.They have ruined several cards sent to me by throwing them on the floor , leaving them outside the mailbox , in the rain.
Sri Lanka had it too :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/banknotesswap/10311610253/
