I went to to the Post Office today and, on my way, we were greeted by several road blocks. This irked my husband because it took us an extra 30minutes to reach the Post Office after being asked to turn around several times. It's a good thing I didn't come home empty-handed today. I have several postcards, mostly from private swaps. I am noticing the huge increase in requests for private swaps and this is making me poorer because most of them wants to swap more than one postcards. For an unemployed woman, this is burning my wallet. Should I find a job to finance this hobby of mine?
Anyways, I think I just need to be selective about whom I deal with and as to the number of postcards to swap. Please don't get me wrong, I love swapping and I want to accommodate all the requests for private swaps. I do not want to disappoint a lot of postcard-swappers out there but it's just that I could not just cope with the demand anymore. Plus the fact that there are individuals who tend to forget about their end of the swapping deal after I have sent them a postcard. Oh well. There are only three active postcard-swappers here in Cambodia, including me, the other two are my friends, and we all share the same dilemma.
P.S. I will post more postcards later today.

I've taken off the part that says I'm interested in direct swaps. I too have had too many requests and forgetful people, and I don't even live anywhere unusual. The last several have given me links to cards they'd like from my "Sent" list, and I find it all just too time-consuming as well as cash-consuming.
It's a really a tough job for an unemployed woman to buy so many cards at a time. Just hope you'll get fun from this special hobby.
Good luck!
Sheila, thanks for "getting me". I thought I was the only one feeling the "burn"! *lol*.
Gone with Postcards, I am enjoying my hobby! And I do not mind sending one postcard at a time to those who want a Cambodian postcard. It's just that some people, as Sheila said, are forgetful.
Right, I'm also afraid that I would forget to do something as promised to others， so sometimes I just write them down~~
