India to Chile ~17000 km. Sent QSL via post to ham radio stations I worked last year.
Germany to the US (California). An order for a software update.
Denmark to US. I did walkman and cassette deck repairs before Covid. It was possible to earn a pretty penny by buying broken decks on eBay, fixing them, and then reselling them.
Maple cookies from Canada to Romania
I didn’t know you could send cookies internationally like that.
Australia to Europe, or Australia to United States
I’m surprised at all the Australian answers here.
I used to run an Etsy shop that shipped everywhere from Australia to Europe, so probably Australia
Australia seems to be a surprisingly popular answer here.
not I but my wife used to make custom my little ponies and many sold in europe for some reason.
2D art or do you mean like figurines?
she modified actual mlp toys.
I used to sign up for a penpal thing where we would exchange letters written with a typewriter. One of the guys I wrote to was in Switzerland, we exchanged a couple letters but then he stopped responding.
Maybe I should try doing that again, it was fun.
Why specifically a typewriter?
It’s part of a typewriter discord group I’m in. We’re all looking for excuses to use our typewriters, so writing letters to each other seems logical.
Argentina to Malaysia
I’m living in western Europe and my family is in Australia, so any letters go a long, long, long way.
What brought you so far across the world?
A tale as old as time. A girl.
It’s certainly one I see a lot. Though I for one couldn’t imagine having a BF traverse the world for me. Imagine if it didn’t work out or stand the test of time.
Probably returns to China.
My father once had a funny digital realisation when he (German) phoned his German friend from Australia while not knowing that said friend was in Australia as well.
So the call went from Australia to Germany to look for the German phone and roaming back down to Australia to make the connection. I wonder if the actual signal traveled to Germany and back to Australia or if it is routed locally after establishing where every participant is.
Hopefully he didn’t have to pay the long distance fee.
Canada to Congo via France. Not exactly a straight line. Even if we all agree that earth is flat 🤣
Why via France though?
Yes, because it was impossible to get a fair price for a direct delivery, or any solution at all.
Letter from central Minnesota US to Australia. Sent it to a friend
I’ve been noticing here Australia tends to be popular as a mailing destination.
A few letters to my family for Christmas/New year from Japan to France while I was there for an exchange.
Buddy of mine used to teach English in Korea, we sent stuff back and forth all the time.
South or North (asking under the impression they still have occasional English teachers in the North)?
My answer would actually relate to North Korea. Dumb younger me thought “if they have no technology, I bet someone there would appreciate being a penpal”. In hindsight I fear the results.
Yeah, regular communication with North Korea would likely get you on a list. :)
South Korea.
