So what IS Mika Mail?
Silver, lilmot and Oakie Doke gave a good account on what it is about, so I'll just quote them :

Hmmmm.....I can give you my two cents worth. If you decide you want to join you pm Petra with the details of what type of partner you are looking for. For example: someone from UK or Japan, or anyone outside the US etc etc. You can also specify youngling or oldling.....or you can find your own partner by pming someone you see on the list and asking them. If they agree to be your partner, you let Petra know.

Then, you talk to your partner to get some ideas of what they would like to receive, what they like (or you stalk them on MFC ). This part can be fun too as you get to know more about your new friend. You usually make mutual agreements on when you will send each other a parcel. Sometimes things get delayed but you are responsible for keeping in touch with your partner and making sure that they know what is up.

Then, you shop. You wrap or pack in a box. You might include a note or a letter, and you mail it off. (and wait to receive yours)

To me the fun part is doing the shopping for someone else and trying to think of fun, interesting things that your partner would like. Then, of course, one day receiving a box of goods from some foreign port is rather exciting too. I will have to say that I done it several times and I have really enjoyed it and I learned about other places and made some good friends.

And no, not everybody spends the same, you can say something like how much you want to spend in your preference, there's definitely other people who would want to do a smaller-sized package with you

• Sweets, candies, cookies or biscuits
• Magazines
• Things that represent your country
• Little toys
• Anything Mika-ish
• Keyrings
• Badges
• etc

In general - we are not a complicated bunch of people but here to have fun. There is no pressure, no deadline or anything!
