Story time: I went to Ryogoku today to send the postcards. I did — sort of. (1) I sent the cards to everyone living in Japan at Ryogoku Station (2) From the Sumida Yokozuna Post Office near the Sumo Arena, I could send the cards to Germany, UK, Canada, Finland, Switzerland, S’pore and all other places taking international mail except — the USA. They said they would not accept it but the internet update says they still take postcards and letters so — (3) I went to the main Tokyo Station Post Office <see photo=""> and asked the manager. She took my cards and said the mail is still going but “it’ll take a while”. Basically no one knows exactly what is happening with the USA but USPS is taking mail and Japan Post is sending it. Not all post office know this. So, when your in doubt and someone says no and you’re sure your right, don’t argue. Thank them, walk away then go to the top. He or she will know for sure and sometimes — YOU ARE RIGHT! What does this mean? The postcards are on the way ✈️ 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇺🇸 🇳🇱 🇨🇭 🇹🇭 🇸🇬 🇫🇮 🇫🇷 🇲🇽 🇵🇭 (sorry 🇦🇺 🇵🇹 🇧🇷 🇷🇴 🇧🇾 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇮🇪 🇮🇹 🇦🇹 not yet) </see>

Thanks John. I joined your postcard club a week ago and I am looking forward to future postcards. I am glad that I am able to offer my small support for your quality work!

Thanks John for going the extra mile. I live in Honolulu and have not received the post card yet for the Olympic Torch stamp! I don't think I ever will considering it took 69 days for one of my brothers in Ireland to get his Christmas card! But, I will not fret as your videos make up for everything! Stay safe and stay well.

Hi 👋 I still haven’t received my April postcard yet ☹️ hopefully it’s coming soon!

Patricia Faridi

Ohh, thank you. I can tell you it takes longer bc I didn't get the one from last month. What is ironically, the one from April arrived 3 weeks after you sent it out. 🙃😉. I hope you and Kanae are doing well. Still love to watch your postings, but since I had to go back to work I can't catch a lifestream anymore. But maybe on my day off... Love and greetings from Houston. As always, stay safe and well. Tell Kanae hello from us and my husband is a very big fan of your educational Google Earth 🌎 videos. He said that he got so much information out of these Twitch streams and he takes it in like a sponge. You should get your own TV show. 😉😊❤.

Love this months postcard and stamp! Just arrived in my mailbox today!

Mary Alice Stopyra

Good news! This arrived in 8 days! The post offices are getting back on track. Still missing the May postcard but I know it will come since the April one just arrived 2 weeks ago.

Got mine in the UK on the 16th June

WOW! You did it John! All the backlog of postcards have made it to Florida. Today I received the May 10th postcard from Shibuya. Thanks for all your efforts and for helping to keep us sane during the pandemic.

I can only imagine how many postcards will arrive once our mail starts coming in from Japan, here in Australia. I’ve gotten mail from the USA which is in a worse state than Japan; go figure 🤷🏻‍♀️.

ONLY in JAPAN

Thanks Donald! It’s in its way :) this months card will be sent from Kanazawa where I took the photo last week!
