What's black and white and....

What a great idea!

Sezouli - I thought it might be fun!

This is nice! I'm signing up :)

and people wouldn't mind not understanding the words? cause im portuguese lol

ollieotson, can you possibly translate the news then? I suppose it would be great to see how non-english media see/descript things.

I don't think so. I love foreign newspapers for their cool factor. It's neat to try and figure out what's going through the words you can pick out, and the pictures. I've got a newspaper from Tokyo that everyone has fun with.

I wouldn't mind not being able to understand the news too. I think it's intriguing enough to be seeing interesting spellings/ characters. You don't get to read Portuguese everyday here in Singapore :)

Do I have this correct? you send the whole newspaper

Well, only part of a newspaper kind of defeats the idea :)

I'm from Brazil, and I'm in!!!

What a great swap! I love it! Newspapers reveal a lot about the local community that it is published in. Really looking forward to this one!!

Just a note this would qualify as media rate however if anything other then media is sent in the same package it disqualifies it as media. Also a media rate package is checked more often then other packages. The local post offices actually do daily checks and opens packages to see if they qualify for this rate. It has happened to me I sent a book and enclosed another non media item and the post office called me to pick up my package and pay additional postage, (we're in the phone book small city.) Now I'm not sure if media rate is allowed outside the U.S. I've always sent books global priority or air mail if under a certain weight. Hopes that helps

media is for US only but if sent in an envelope shouldn't weigh much at least i don't think it will although from the US certain countries the shipping rate is ridiculously outrageous. Unfortunately i can't sign up for this one due to the date of send by but I hope you have another one soon. I will definitely sign up for that one.

Great idea!!!!

I'll have another one after this one ends since people like it so much. International again. But maybe longer dates than normally done.

is this swap really goin' on or not?

I was wondering the same thing...

Here in Brazil, the postage of paper is DOC. Anything made of paper is doc. Can be book, can be newspaper, letters, higienic paper.. hehe...etc.

To avoid the post people to open your envelope, cut a little piece of one side to show then what is inside.

Jules and lucindalynn are getting packages of newspaper love soon!

i've sent out today to Jacqueline USA n jenni whitz USA...hola!!!!

Just to let everyone know I sent my partners their respective newspapers as early as August 8... I just wasn't able to log in here and click on the SENT button (which I just did now). Lele-br and qnkrla, your newspapers must be halfway their journey now.
