Aaron recently visited Malaysia and came back with a whole collection of postbox sightings for #PostboxSaturday, from classic red Pos Malaysia boxes to a lineup with a surprise yellow one in the middle! 😍 Naturally, they all had to be fed some postcards!

Check out this cute postcard! It shows a wall painting from the 12th century, created by Herrad of Landsberg. It's a group portrait of all the nuns in the abbey where she lived, and one of the first known depictions of women in community. Isn't that cool? It makes me want to paint our friends!
