My entry for this week is a postcard of Cambodia. I sent this to a 6 year old boy who lives in Russia. I checked out his profile at Postcrossing and found out that he loves animals. I sort of panicked because there aren't many postcards available in Phnom Penh that shows animals.
Luckily for me, my friend who sells postcards online, has a set that has an animal in it. And this was it:

| A statue of an elephant in Siem Reap's Mebon Temple. |
In my message to the boy, I described to him where the temple this statue is located and how important it was at that time. I also told him that I was hoping he'd like the postcard and the elephant even though it is already several thousands of years old and made of stone.
Yesterday, I received a message from Postcrossing that the postcard finally arrived. It was registered promptly and there was a note from the boy (via his mum) saying he loved the postcard to bits. Never mind if the elephant didn't move or that it was made of stone. The important thing is that the boy was happy about it :)
