Postcrossing joy
It’s a joy to be able to give joy to another person. That’s one of the joys of postcrossing. Recently I sent a postcard of Elma my cat to a Finnish lady who loves cats.

Salut Seafood Centre
Salut Seafood centre was recommended by my friend who stayed in Kota Kinabalu for over 3 years. She was studying at UMS for her degree.
