my address (attempt #2)

As far as I can tell, I've received everything that was sent to me. But it takes a really long time, about two weeks. And Park Mi-Ran and I have collaboratively guessed that the delay could be due to the fact that the addresses are written only in English, and I've gathered from teh internetz that addresses written in English have about a 90% chance of reaching me. So, here is my address in Korean, one more time (there was an error in the first Korean address I posted), enlarged for your copying convenience. I recommend that you either write both complete addresses, or write the Korean address only with "South Korea" written in English under it. I also recommend that you write my name in both English and Korean.

파멜라스타시 (Pamela Stacey)
서울시 관악구 봉천동883-8
406 호
SOUTH KOREA


I'm asking a lot of you, I know, but if you only knew how happy postcards make me.

I've gone this whole time without finding any postcards for sale anywhere, but today, I finally did a touristy thing, a lo-and-behold, there was a souvenir shop. First wave of postcards goes out as soon as I find all of your addresses (which I know I have somewhere in the bowels of the fb/my email archives) and a foreigner-friendly post office.

Heartz.

Now I will definitely write you a letter so I can practice writing that. Because it is SO meaningless to me, oh neat.

would you like a breakdown so that you know what it says, or would you prefer for it to remain meaningless?

Would you consider me a punk if I just printed this shit out and glued it to an envelope? Is that a cop-out?

Actually, I would probably just consider you pragmatic, since it would be like REALLY EASY to write one of the syllables just a little bit wrong and mess up the address if you wrote it out.

but also, @warmandbarky if you have the urge to write it out, you totally should, because that would be a good time too. but be careful.

I am so careful. Don't you even worry! Also I don't have a printer, and the Internet cafes around here don't really do that for you either.
