Mail

A letter from the tax office stating that I have paid enough tax for 2006 and that they don't want any more of me.

In the Museum for Technology

First I thought the letter was posted in January, but November is more likely.

The Dutch postal service has stopped making stamp with a specific value and nowadays only stamps for a specific function, i.e. a stamp for a letter to a European country, domestic letter, are available. This easier when postal rates go up, but letters like these will become rare. In case somebody is wondering why I write letters to "FRANCE" with no further address, I wiped out the address to protect the innocent.

The modern postal system was founded in the late 19th century and you can still put a letter in a postbox on one side of the world and have it delivered on the other side.

I hope they like bunnies and gnomes over there.

French is still used for international mail.
