Letters & music

[juliet]

I am doing sorting-out type things for my increasingly imminent departure, so:

Firstly: I am intending to take lots of airmail paper with me in order to write people letters while I'm on the many, many trains I will be on (I just checked, & it's something like 20 days in 52 that I'll be spending on a train. Plus a day or so on buses.). If you would like me to write to you, stick yr address in the poll below. (NB letters not guaranteed, depends on timing & so forth.)

[Poll #1255115]

Secondly: poste restante, whereby you can pick up mail from random post offices, still exists & is clearly awesome. I will be checking various post offices (addresses & date I'll be there are below the cut), so if anyone fancies writing a letter to *me*, that would be lovely. Letters will probably take 1-2 weeks via airmail, with luck; put a return address on & a date-to-keep-until (about a week after I'm expected there would be ideal) in case they get delayed & I don't pick them up. Print my name clearly, and underline the surname (makes collection much easier...).


Beijing (8th October):
c/o Poste restante
Beijing International Post Office
Dongcheng District
Beijing, China

Hanoi (15th October):
c/o Poste restante
Hanoi International Post Office
Hanoi
Vietnam

Phnom Penh (24th October):
c/o Poste Restante
GPO Phnom Penh
Cambodia

Bangkok (28th October):
c/o Poste Restante
General Post Office
Bangkok 10501
Thailand

Singapore (2nd November):
c/o Poste Restante
GPO
Singapore

Adelaide (11th November, then again 6th December):
c/o Poste Restante
Adelaide 5001
Australia

(If anyone wants to write to me in Melbourne, where I'll be intermittently between November & Christmas, ask Pete or doop for the address - it's my cousin's house so I don't want to put it up publicly. Once in Sydney I'll have a proper address again.)


And lastly, if anyone has a USB key kicking around that they don't use any more & fancies donating to me, that would be v much appreciated. If they wanted to put a handful of MP3s on it first, that would be even better. Mmm tasty musics.

How cool!

Fab, I shall keep that in mind!

I have a spare 256MB one, whose keyring loop is broken. Might be a bit small for a decent number of MP3s, though. I could probably arrange delivery via doop if you wanted it, though.

[juliet]

That would be really great, actually - small is useful anyway as I can use it for transferring stuff if need be (have eeepc with me but may not always be able to hook it up directly in cafes etc). Transfer via doop sounds good - I shall inform him :)

ooh i appear to have a 512mb one here, that i'm not rly using.

it's about to have 200mb of half man half biscuit on it for a short while, but can remove that before passing on (will put exciting range of indie on instead ;))

[juliet]

oh, you star, that would be awesome :)

Am thinking a new-meets-old-world mashup in the form of posting you USB keys loaded with music might make a fun project :) Ruth x

I have a 2GB one currently loitering in the back of my hub, which you're welcome to take on tour - it was a freebie when I bought a bigger one. I'll stick a random selection of tracks you might like from my Music Drive onto it. Feel free to inflict them on friends around the globe.

That's awesome, thank you!
