Postal Woes

I seriously think postcards just don’t like me or there's a crazy underground syndicate out there just to torment people like me by delaying the arrival of my postcard. Or even worse, they bring the postcard around for a ride and interoggate the poor 'lil card in a dungeon somewhere. Ha! Sorry, imagination running wild. *grin*

I’ve just received a second postcard this year from my friend who went overseas for holidays. I use the term second because the "first" postcard took a few months to arrive too (refer to my previous entry on this).
My friend sent the postcard to me on 10 October 2009 from Turkey. I just received it 2 days ago on the 15 December 2009. Unlike my previous postcard, this friend put sufficient postage but it took 2 months to reach me.


Weird….Is this a case of unsolve mystery of delayed postal services? I know, some will say "At least it reached you!" But still...

Anyway, I shall throw out a challenge here: Does anyone else want to test how long it takes for a postcard to reach from your country to my place? Just drop me a message for my address and post the card to me! We'll test it another time! :)
