Taiwan reached 300 thousandth of the Postcrossing ID, and I was the lucky guy to get it. In fact, I did not think to join the number fight until I accumulated 5 send-postcard quota about one week ago because I was too busy to write any postcard. When the number was close, I got  9 of quota. I thought I must be the one to get this milestone.

Saturday afternoon, many Taiwanese postcrossers stared at their computer screen. Some people joined plurk discussion and another few people talked on facebook club. When I saw someone reported TW-29997X, I thought it was time to draw.

It was so much fun to draw so many postcrossing ID and address at one time. I checked out the 300000th one first. She liked architecture and the sender's hometown.

I rarely sent the skyscraper Taipei 101 for postcrossing because it was not a common view in Taiwan. But to match this milestone, I thought Taipei 101 is a good choice for the receiver's interests. It was the modern representative of my lovely Taipei. Do you think I made a good choice?

國際明信片交換(Postcrossing)的臺灣三十萬號在五月上旬抽出,十天後順利寄到。原本我跟特別號就沒啥緣份,而且幾次為了留額度抽特別號還讓自己步調變慢,所66666號後,我就決定不跟了。只是這次剛好發懶,一週前開始累積了五個額度,到了要到號時,居然有九個額度,那我絕對是勢在必得了。

星期六下午,大家聽聞快要到號的消息,紛紛在電腦前等著抽號。有人在噗浪上,有人在臉書上即時報號。快到的前五十號,稍微卡了大概二十分鐘,接著有人報了七十幾號,我就覺得可以出動了。刷的一口氣抽了下去,果然毫無失手,三十萬前後七個都到手了。

一口氣抽一堆實在很過癮,不過後續寫片可辛苦了,好在週六抽出還有週日可以慢慢消化。我先把挑三十萬號出來檢查。是位波蘭女生,喜歡建築,也接受寄件人的家鄉風光,所以我挑了臺北一零一

我很少寄臺北一零一的明信片,摩天大樓並不是臺灣的都市基調,不過要搭配這個三十萬號的里程碑,還有對方的興趣,「驚豔101次的臺北天空」倒是個不錯的選擇。或許臺北一零一對外縣市的朋友沒什麼意義,不過這就是我的故鄉臺北城,也是我為三十萬號精選的明信片。

每個人心中都有適合特別號的片子,下次如果你抽到特別號,你要選什麼來配呢?
