After graduated from the university, Wang moved back to New Zealand and have a boring life. I encouraged him to have some hobbies and sent him a postcard. This postcard is my reward. The postmark is just one day later as Wang's signature, but the postcard traveled over two months. An early Christmas card turned into early Chinese New Year card. Postcards are link to the world, but they also can let you learn something new of your place. You need to study very well to write the most important thing in the small piece of paper. This one three hill in Auckland has no tree but the obelisk. I learned some history from Wang. Thank him.

王從澳洲畢業後，就搬回紐西蘭工作了。他時而跟我抱怨他的無聊生活，所以我就寄了張明信片給他鼓勵他培養一些嗜好。這張明信片就是我的回報。郵戳日期比簽名晚了一天而已，不過整整寄了兩個月才到，從聖誕卡變成賀年卡。有時候，寄明信片這個嗜好，可以讓人認識這個世界。收信是展開對這個世界的新視野，而寫信，更是要好好學習，才可以把周遭最精華的事情寫近短短的紙片之中。這張火山口的一樹山，現在沒有樹，在歐洲人與毛利人爭鬥之後，現在有了個方尖碑。謝謝王跟我介紹這些。
