How to write/mail a postcard:

How to write/mail a postcard in Italy:


After being in Italy I have found that the process of mailing a postcard in Italy is a little different compared to mailing a postcard in the United States. In the United States you can either go to the post office and drop the letter in the outgoing mail box, or you can drop the postcard in any outgoing mailbox anywhere. In the United States there are mailboxes located in many different areas, rather than just at the post office. I have found that when you are in Italy trying to mail a postcard, you have to take it to the post office for it to be mailed. The process of mailing a postcard in Italy is easy.  Once you have found a fun postcard that you want to send, the process of writing and mailing the postcard is a very fun experience. Below is the process of how to write/mail a postcard.

Tips:
-Cost = Around 50c
-How to say "How much does it cost?" - quanto costa
                     "I want to mail a letter" - voglio spedire una lettera


1st:
The first thing you need to do is go to a shop and find a postcard that you would like to send to a family/friend.
For example..
Boomer wants to send a postcard from Italy to a friend at Oklahoma. Boomer chose this postcard to send to his friend David L. Boren.



2nd:
Once you have a postcard, you will write your message to your family/friend.


3rd:
You will need to write their address on the right side of the postcard like shown below.


4th:
Get a stamp! Place it on the top right hand corner.

5th:
Go to a post office and put the postcard in the box that says outgoing mail like shown below.
