The Posta

I've now had lots of experience with "The Posta", the Slovakian mail service. The Posta is much more than the mail service, however. You can pay bills here, using a voucher that contains the account number of the receiving party - we pay Justin's choir bill this way. Every other month he gets a slip with the amount and the Boys' Choir account info. I have successfully paid his bill twice now - you give them your cash and get a paid receipt.

Some of our friends and family have sent care packages and all have come through well EXCEPT the kids Christmas presents from Grandma & Grandpa........ Wouldn't you know it? Their box even got returned to sender from Bratislava. So, after the gifts made three trips across the ocean, our kids got to have Christmas in February!

I just had to share this photo of Justin.........a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

i keep forgetting to ask if you ever received the news clipping i mailed you from dubai. it was months ago. hardly anyone uses the postal service in dubai, so sometimes i am not too confident in its successful delivery of mail.
