Well, we figured this would be an easy list item to complete so we decided to make it just a little bit harder. With all the excitement of the Olympics we decided to send a postcard... internationally. It was a pretty tough decision as to where we would send the card, you would think that this would be easy but it definitely wasn't.
We started off brainstorming places that might be into the Olympics – Mexico was definitely out with only one athlete competing! We started off with Australia, then Ireland, England and then finally we decided on Norway. It turns out that addresses are really hard to come by in Ireland and England.
Kiersti had just visited Norway for a year and we knew that they would speak a little bit of English. Lucky for us Norway was doing really well in the Olympics and we figured that their country would probably be supporting them/actually know the Olympics were on. We did a little creeping on the internet and found a Norwegian household that we could mail our postcard to. Kait and I had absolutely no idea how their addresses worked so we called up our trusty Norwegian traveller (Kiersti) to breakdown the address for us – much to our surprise there really isn't anything to a Norwegian address, not even a postal code/zip code!
Roy from Norway, if you ever read this, we really hope you enjoyed your postcard!
This item was simple but hopefully in the process we added a little more 'cheer' to someone's life and a little more confusion.
