Hsu studied in Denvor, Colorado, USA. He asked me to exchange postcards to him. Here is the return card from Michigan when he was on winter vacation visiting his friends. I can not remember how many postcards of university I got. But this one is surely artistic.

許Sorry從密西根跟我抱怨有些照片明信片假得有點虛偽，所以記了這張密西根大學安阿堡校區的繪畫風景給我。大學校院傳授知識，講究追求真理，不過如果以「寫真」來稱呼攝影，那麼又該怎麼看待那些讓人覺得虛假的作品呢？用繪畫來代表大學的形象，或許給人另一種朦朧或是僅展現學術殿堂的形象吧！

Market in the 'City' / 「市區」中的市集

It is a domestic postcard. However, the sender was doing a international travel. Tasmania is one of the two states I have not been to yet. (another is WA.) But friends told me that is a peaceful place. The size of Tasmania is about two times of Taiwan. But the population is much fewer. No matter how crowded it is, the market is always the busiest place in the 'city'.

儘管這是張澳洲明信片，但以收件當時來說，則是個國內信件。不過寄件者很興奮的跟我分享他的國際旅行，值說有一天我應該去看看。每個旅行都會有興奮之處，在外遊歷時，就像是幫朋友看、幫忙聽，或是幫忙吃。而在短短兩三百字把見聞、吃喝貼切的寫完，和朋友分享則是件很巧妙的個人藝術。我最後並沒有去塔斯馬尼亞，留下了再訪澳洲的原因。這張在澳洲最小的州，最大的城市裡的市集，應該會保持到我去拜訪吧！

有時候旅行有些許空白，不見得是種遺憾，更有想像之美。

Revenge Postcard / 復仇女神的明信片

From: Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Date: 6, November, 2006
Sender: r CHEN, and his girlfriend

來自：柬埔寨吳哥窟
日期：2006年11月6日
寄者：陳r，與其女伴

Chen was going to graduate from medical school in the following summer vacation. His girlfriend graduated one year earlier than him. They went to Cambodia to for the last summer vacation. Chen wrote:
I sometimes got your postcard from somewhere in the world. Now it is my turn to send you one. This is goddesses in Angkor Wat. I guess goddesses are welcome in every culture.
Good job, Chen. My postcard makes Chen to take his revenge by traveling.

陳r和女朋友一起去吳哥窟玩。寄來了這張吳哥窟的仙女石雕。他說：總是收到我的明信片，這次總算換他了。他想仙女不管在哪都是受歡迎的，我應該會以歡。
我喜歡陳r用明信片來的「報復」。現在要改口稱他為陳醫生了，仙女也讓有情人終成眷屬。今年(2009)要在我生日那天結婚，真為他們高興。
