【正文】 olite, respectful folks—in more than 450 cards exchanged, I39。ve yet to have a bad experience. On days when the international news is depressing, postcrossing is my fort. There39。s nothing like getting a card from a child in China just learning to write in English, or a grandmother in Belarus describing her most recent gardening success to remind me that we truly are members of one global family, far more similar than we are different. It seems like such a small thing to send out a postcard. But as travel and munication technology continue to shrink the world, it39。s important to remember that it isn39。t just for diplomats and politicians to represent our country anymore. All of us have the power—and perhaps the responsibility—to be ambassadors, to show the best of your country to the world. And it39。s good to know that what you need to acplish this is not necessarily plicated or expensive. It can be as simple as a postcard.（1）Why did Paulo set up ?
