After more than ten years of Postcrossing, it's very rare that I receive a postcard from a country for the first time. Nevertheless, today I received my first ever card from tiny Liechtenstein, one of the smallest countries in the world. Sandwiched between Switzerland and Austria, Liechtenstein is a country of about 39,000 people, which is comparable to the total population of the moderate sized suburb of Birmingham, Alabama in which I live. The entire country has sent slightly fewer than 4,000 official Postcrossing postcards since the project began, which is less than half the amount I've personally sent in ten years. So, a rare card, indeed; welcome, Marie from Liechtenstein.
